Back from Spring Break

Okay, time to get down to crunchtime at law school.  Spring break is over and I stretched it out by taking the previous week off to work on my memo.  I still have 2 absences left in each class, but don't intend to use them.

At this point, there are 6 more weeks of classes and 2 weeks of finals to go.  I'm really limping towards the finish.  This is the crunchtime period, though.  I need to start prepping for finals. 

Strange how my perspective is different.  Used to be if I studied the night before an exam, I felt completely prepared.  Now, if I start studying 6 weeks out, I have this nagging feeling that I should probably have started earlier. 

Not sure if I'll be able to continue full-time after this semester.  I have so much up in the air.  The business has been doing so poorly, I probably need to find a job.  If I can't find one, I might need to move to a city with a more vibrant economy. 

Like pretty much everything in my life, my plans for getting through law school are a bit hazy.  However, I know what I have to do for the next 2 months.  Whatever happens after that is anybody's guess.

Spring Break!

I just finished my appellate brief.  Nice to have that weight off my shoulders.  No more real writing assignments this year.  I'll have an upper level writing requirement eventually, but not sure when that will happen. 

Still totally lacking in motivation.  I'm going to take this Spring Break away from school entirely.  Won't study much if any.  I also need to devote some attention to non-school stuff.  I have a couple of training classes I need to attend, for instance.

Hard to believe that there is only 6 more weeks of class after Spring Break.  If you don't obsess about it, the time goes by pretty quickly.  Hard to believe that in 2 months, my first year of law school will be in the bag.

1 down, 2 to go.  Not that encouraging, really.  However, I'll have the Summer to recouperate.  I am not looking for any internships or legal employment over the Summer.  Probably should, but won't.  The Summer classes are all offerred in the evening, when Logan's mom works.  So, taking a class here or there won't work, either.

If I can just get through this semester without having to repeat any classes, it'll be a wonderful thing.
