I'm a 23 year old, second year law student, who is attempting to stay sane throughout it all. I’m frequently overwhelmed, often delighted and always caffeinated

Feeling the pressure of this seemingly never ending semester and is ridiculously abundant project and papers. So for motivation, there is my new desktop background.
I didn’t get to do my legislative advocacy speech for my bill today and I was pretty bummed about it. I sacrificed much needed sleep to prep and I had worked up the confidence. Now, I have to wait until Monday to give it. Let’s hope I feel as confident than.
Especially, since my presentation is in front of the president of the moot court ( she is acting as Madam Chair) and I want that invitation for moot court tryouts so ridiculously bad.
I’m going to try and power through today and get everything done so I can watch the new episode of Glee and not feel guilty lol.
I’m going to blame this post on the mojito’s and the major stress of this semester. But, I have a confession to make.
I find myself extremely homesick, which has never happened to me before. It’s been 11 months since I’ve seen my family. 11 months isn’t even the longest I’ve gone without seeing my family. I lived in Seville, Spain for a year in undergrad and could only afford to call home once every other week.
But, right now I’m extremely homesick. Since I’m taking summer class and they start two days after finals and continue till 3 days before the Fall Semester starts I won’t find myself home again until a week before Christmas where I will stay only until January 9th.
The thought is severely depressing and even writing this post makes me want to cry.
I just want to go home and say screw summer classes because being miserable and lonely isn’t worth the extra six credits.
However, I worked too hard to get into lawschool and to get where I am now to just mess it up by taking an entire summer off, when I could use that time to get ahead.
I blame Civil Procedure and the mojito’s. And, I hope when I’m older I’ll still think it’s all worth it.
GPOY.
It’s Research Workshop, Civil Procedure, and Torts day…
Midterm grades were released for Property I today. Solid A.
Boo ya! :)
“Traveling makes own modest. It shows you what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
So, I know were all suppose to want great internships and externships after our first year of law school. That is the status quo.
However, honestly I’m praying to get into a study aboard program after the end of my first year. I would turn down any internship for that. Something Career Services at my school is not so pleased to hear lol.
Oh well.
I just think it would be a great opportunity!
On a completely different note.
Our midterm grades will be released on Monday! I’m nervous. On one hand I think I’m doing better this semester than last semester but I will be crushed if I’m not and am somehow just delusional.
One more thing. I’m going to the Hunger Games midnight premiere tonight!! :))
How I felt while reading my Property midterm, and staring panically at Exam 4.
It’s the first day back to law school after Spring Break!
The day has hardly even started and I already know it is just going to suck. Spilled coffee all over myself was I was driving, got stuck in traffic, and silently whimpered to myself during LP when we received our next assignment. More oral arguments and a 21 pg. motion on suppressing a confession, and illegal search and seizure.
Add that to all the other papers, projects, and readings and well… wish me luck!
The joys of law school. Do they ever end?
On to Property and Contracts!
Hope all my followers have a fabulous day <3
All that is left to do is cry over the bluebook, fix these citations and I will be done with my 4,000 word midterm on Tort Reform!!
I have never be more excited to hand a paper in, in my life.
My Licensing Contract is officially finished and I am so damn proud of it. I think it is my best assignment to date. I picked it up at Staples and it’s bound all pretty like and it’s ready to dominate and get that A.
Sadly, Spring Break is officially over in less than 30 hrs. My heart is already breaking. I’m not ready to go back to law school.
My Property paper on adverse possession will be the death of me yet.
I may or may not have just bought myself a Tardis coffee mug. ^_^
I just hate mondays.
All I want to do is crawl into my bed and sleep until I cant anymore. Literally exhausted. On the plus side I did great in Contracts today. Volunteered and all. My professor even complimented me. Which considering she is about as friendly as a Dalek is saying a lot.
On to my least hated class of the day: Civil Procedure!!! I’ll be so glad to be done with that class come May.
At least, I have Torts to look forward to after that. That class makes me insanely happy. <3
