One Year Down

Well, that's that, then. One week ago, I clicked "Submit" and sent my feverishly composed Criminal Law final into the ether, officially and unceremoniously ending my life as a 1L. I then proceeded directly home to drink wine and watch Mystery Science Theater with my wife, and I've sort of been slacking off ever since. It's not bad.

Overdue Progress Report

Did I say "biweekly"? Apparently, I meant "bimonthly."

The Spring semester is now virtually over, with only 2.5 weeks remaining before the reading period, and all I can think to say is, boy, it's nothing like last semester at this time, at least as far as I can recall. I'm not sure how to characterize the difference generally. Maybe it's just that I feel like I've been a bit less . . . diligent? I don't know. I do know that just today I started seriously trying to outline my courses, which I know I put off last semester, too, but I don't think I waited quite this long. And for one of my courses -- Contracts -- I'm really hoping the outlining process will be what makes it all come together, because right now, I feel like I just know a bunch of random tidbits with only the most tenuous of connections between them. I certainly do not feel remotely prepared to be tested on any of it. So yeah, I'm hoping the next few weeks are very productive.

Here We Go Again

OK, so, we're back. The spring semester started about three weeks ago, after a nice, long winter break, and I thought probably it's about time I catch everyone up.

So first of all: I passed my fall classes. I don't think anyone but me had any doubt this would happen, but it's a relief.

As for the spring, Torts and Civil Procedure have been replaced by Contracts and Criminal Law. (That Lawyering Process class is two semesters long, so it's still going.) I hope to do some summary posts for both courses soon, but here are my basic impressions to date:
