Although I have planned to describe my recent days in more details, I do not feel like to do that, so I will post them in brief order (not chronological) and go to treat myself with hot steam and hot tea, because I am sick. I hate to be sick.
My events:
- More then a week ago I finally finished my trial brief. It was painful and went not very well. I worked on it Friday's evening, all Saturday and all Sunday, and yes, I was one of those students who did not sleep the night before Monday. Amazing, I was late with my papers in my life, but not as late as it was with this trial brief. I got up from the desk at 6.30 am on Monday and still did not do good job on checking my citations and grammar mistakes. But yes, I have finished it. Today I talked to my legal writing Prof. and she said I have a real problem with my grammar. I decided not to do a drama from this, because then I will not be able to start my appelate brief, which will cause worse problem. Moreover, she did not know that I have finished a half of the brief at night, so even writing on native language would not help me. I hope I will not get C. I will be happy even with B. It is only 30% of the grade, additionally, I do not deserve more.
- Last week I had 2 interviews with law firms for my summer clerkship. One went quite tough - I saw 7 people and talked without stop. Another one was easier - no questions to me, all questions were from me, and we chatted for an hour. Before I began writing this post I had finished preparation for my tomorrow's interview with the third firm. I have used flash cards to make notes about firm, about the areas of the practice, and my questions. It is amazing how much time I can spend on interview preparation. I will have the result about each interview next week. I keep my fingers crossed, because I want this internship.
- I got sick. I sneez and my throat is in pain. I think a law school killed all my immune system, because I do not remember days when I got sick so often.
- People keep hitting my website by searching key words as "tired of law school (studying)" and "find motivation to study." Dear visitors, I am afraid you find yourself in disapointment after reading my stuff here that does not give any encoragment for better studying but only crying about the difficulties of the law school and studying. However, it is not my fault that Google likes my blog for those subjects. I also assume I have to right something marrier. However, I can assure my reader, that you will hardly find my blog by searching something like "happiness in a law school." well, there is a possibility that after two years Google will find my blog from the search of "happiness," but it will be in paralel with a word "graduation" not word "study."
