It has been some time since my last entry. Here are several developments:
- My Spring semester grades were a disappointment.
Generally, in those classes where I did poorly in the midterm, I got poor grades. I suppose everyone studied harder than me. What does this mean? I have to study more to raise my GPA. I might even consider studying with other people in study groups, but I am not sure. The upcoming fall semester will prove to be even more important. - I’ve moved to a new residence, one with bigger rooms. I still have my own room, and I even have my own bathroom now. It feels much like living in a hotel, since the apartment complex is newly built and rather large.
- I purchased computer parts and built my own computer, with my Dad’s help. I have 2 LCD monitors instead of 1 giant CRT. It feels so much better, and I have a lot more space on my desk. Anyway, this new setup (considering that I used my previous setup for about 7 years) will probably keep me happy well after I graduate from law school in 2009.
- The summer internship I have is turning out to be very enjoyable. My boss is very energetic and keeps me on my toes.
Also, I have read for a couple hours on polyphasic sleep and also an article about sleep cycles, and how to systematically sleep less than the average adult sleep period of 7-8 hours. To this end, I have constructed a sleep cycle schedule and will begin to try to adjust to this new schedule of 3 hr “core” sleep followed by a 1.5 hr nap in a 24-hour period–a.k.a. “biphasic” sleep. Apparently, it takes a few weeks to fully adjust to this new schedule, to “train the body” to this regimen, so if I start tonight then I will have enough time to adjust before the beginning of Fall semester.
I will post updates about this (permanent) sleep experiment on a regular basis.
