After a two month hiatus due to my first set of law school exams, I am back to blogging.
Midterms are done, and I have learned my lessons:
1. Turn my brain on in class. This is easier said than done. After work, it is really hard to turn on that switch. It’s easy to type down whatever the professor is saying or whatever he puts on the board or pretend like you’re listening while perusing through Facebook–it’s not easy to really listen and understand and take excellent notes that will save your life at the end of the semester.
2. I can’t study like I studied in undergrad and expect to succeed. Now I know to review, review, REVIEW (!!!) after class and make sure that I understood everything that just happened and commit it to memory right then and there–there is no hope if you try to come back to it at the end of the semester. There is just too much that is too complicated to sort out in my brain…
3. I need to suffer. I don’t think I suffered enough this semester–I was never really sleep deprived, hit the gym three times a week, attended a good number of social engagements, and did not get the frazzled feeling until just before exams. This is how you know you’re not studying hard enough in law school–if you feel good about yourself and the world around you–you are just not cutting it!!!
More to come…

Hi Genie! This is Liz we took the islands of power seminar together. I remembered your updates of your time in Japan (awesome cause I took was in Japan the year before) and see it has turned into a legal blog…
Also writing because I am entering law school in the fall and was wondering your thoughts. Thoughts?
