It's the "FINAL" Countdown!!

I apologize in advance, this post is everywhere, just like my life these days!!

As of today, I have 35 days until the last day of classes and finals start. I am definitely in panic mode! LOL!! I have a million flash cards and several outlines for each class lying around everywhere. I do not even know where to start… Any advice is greatly appreciated.


I did not go back to my five day work week and thank God because I would be in even worse of a situation if I did. I still have not found productive things to do with the little free time that I have other than watching TV and sleeping. I have two HUGE stacks of magazines in my room that have been neglected as well as I have not been reading for leisure (who wants to look at words after reading legal books all day) and also neglected my book blog. I tried to do Jillian Michaels’ “30 day shred” because I am trying to get in shape, but stopped after day 13/14 (cannot remember).

I have to admit, this semester took a whole lot out of me energy wise. This semester has been filled with glee (because I am still in school), aggravation, disappointment, uncertainty, and rage. However I just continue to remind myself that we all (meaning people in law school) have to go through it and while some people are better at handling it, some (in this case, me) could possibly go crazy. I often sit in class daydreaming that I would meet some wonderful guy, we will hit it off great and he would say, “Why don’t you quit your job and strictly focus on going to school, I will take care of all your bills and necessities.” Wouldn’t that be great??? LOL!!!

On the positive side, I am about to be a year in on this four year sentence!! LOL! Time is surely flying by, but I am not complaining (even though I am not prepared) because the faster it come the faster it will be over.

Since I am almost one month away from finals, this Friday is my second annual, “Last Friday of Freedom Until Finals Celebration”!! This is where I pick a venue, with this year being a place that has $3 Martinis on Fridays and I plan to drink until my heart’s content and just have fun with friends. No telling where this evening will lead to and possibly end, but I believe it will be eventful nonetheless.

1 Semester down and 7 more to go......

Well I am back!  December/January was a very stressful period as I wait for grades to determine if I am back in school.  I never want to go through that again and I do not wish it on my WORST enemy.  I knew that flunking out the first time took a big chunk of my confidence, but I had no clue how much until last semester.  I thought that during my six years away, I was "cured".  I was soooo wrong.  I am learning that it is an ongoing process. 

Nevertheless, it is a new semester and I have a fresh start to do better.  This semester I am taking:

Obligations

Civil Law Property

Legal Writing II and Oral Advocacy

Currently I am working on three days a week.  So I have Thursdays and Fridays to study and read ahead for class.  However after Mardi Gras, I will be back to my regular five day work schedule.  This semester I am trying to find more productive things to do with my leisure time (which in all honestly isn't that much) other than laying in the bed watching mindless TV.  I hoping that I can be more consistent with my blog so that I can work on my writing. 

As far as my classes goes, they are very time consuming, but after I get over the fact of it being so much work, the difficulty of the work is not hard at all.  I believe that if I STICK to my study schedule at least 50%, I will do extremely better than I did this previous semester.

Wish me luck!!!
