So those of you who have been reading this site, you’ve been wondering what ever happened to me this past month and two days. Well, like the title of this post explains, I’ve started law school at Mystery Law School. It’s a rather small school (well, considering the tiny number of fellow first-years compared to my undergraduate class, which was a behemoth), but I like the feel of a small, reclusive school after 4 years of invite-all, partyhouse, “twenty-five people from my high school are here” Mystery College. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy my college years of being around my fellow undergraduate colleagues. But over all, I enjoy being here in a small, focused setting surrounded by people who are all motivated to get a law degree. No more undergrads who don’t like their major! Everyone here loves law! Haha.
So I ended up finishing that book about How to Learn Anything Quickly. It was a very quick read, and I must admit that it was meant more for educators than students. The biggest drawback for me was that, before reading this book, I already had quite an accurate idea of my strongest learning style, or “superlink” as Linksman puts it.
Getting to Maybe is proving to be an excellent guide to law exams. I highly recommend it. Interestingly, the IRAC format isn’t very appreciated by this book, though it’s been widely discussed by both my Civ Pro and Writing & Research professors. We’ll see how it goes come midterm time!
I ended up returning The Portrait of a Lady before finishing it, because the sheer volume of law school material took over my schedule. I’ll finish it during winter break or something, I guess.
Enough about books. Last weekend I built a computer for the living room. New motherboard, CPU, RAM, and sound (although it’s integrated sound but it’s got 7.1 channel output and 24-bit playback). Now I can hook up my Yamaha PF80 to it via MIDI-USB cable and use Native Instruments Kontakt 2 player after loading up my East West/PMI Boesendorfer 290 sample library without a sweat. It sounds awesome, although I’m in the process of getting Synthogy’s Ivory 1.5 after hearing excellent reviews. I love technology.
