I know, it’s been several months since my last entry. So, here are some quick updates in my life:
- My fall semester grades were a hodgepodge mix. All in all, I was still able to fit into the top half of my class, which I think is a good thing.
- I began writing my resume and cover letters for prospective employers for this summer, but found out that I really need to up my pace in the work/outside-school area to impress employers. I might end up doing pure volunteer work this summer just to build up my resume. My advice to those who are aspiring to join the law school lifestyle: get a job/internship/volunteer position NOW!
- I have a ton of work to do in my classes right now, but I find myself putting things off until the last minute. Oh, that’s me since kindergarten. Still getting used to doing things BEFORE they are due. I went to a top-25 college for undergrad, and let me tell you: once, I was able to study a mere 4 HOURS TOTAL on the DAY OF THE FINAL EXAM for a history class, and still receive a B+ in the course. Law school is much, much different. You really can’t cram here. So the bottom line is: I’m having trouble stopping my old procrastination habits. Any tips to help me combat this?
- I came across a job info site that ranked the 50 best jobs in the country, and ranked at #37 was “Lawyer.” The bad news is, it had the worst ratings in terms of flexibility, creativity, stress, etc. Hmm, I’m really starting to wonder how bad a job as an attorney can really be. Don’t attorneys work less hours than a med school grad doing his residency at a hospital?
So that’s that. I’ll try to post more things as my life becomes ever so intertwined with the law.
