Congrats to Dara on her awesome Summer experience. (I'm psyched you're loving it, Dara!) I'd like to share a different perspective, on a different kind of law school Summer. I'm taking three classes this Summer, 9 credits. Evidence, Wills and Trusts, Agency and Partnership. I also have two active research positions, a life, a husband, a bird, a wooden boat (lots of work to keep her afloat), and a need to sleep sometimes. It's been...busy. I like Summer classes because I'm sort of an "all-or-nothing" person, and I love the intensity of the abbreviated semester. I just emerged (somewhat unscathed, I think...I hope) from my Evidence exam. It was challenging, but fair. As usual, I wish I'd had more time to fully MEMORIZE EVERYTHING (before the exam, that is). But that's always the case with me. If I see something I don't automatically know, but I know right where it is in the book, in my outline, or in my notes, it drives me coconutty! My Summer semester has been spent reading and digesting new material, and getting ready for the exams, with an eye toward getting ready for the BIG KAHUNA of exams: the Bar. Since I'm graduating early, it's time to start thinking about it. I just keep telling myself that I love being a student: my job is to read. In the meantime, if you're headed to law school this Fall, make sure you take the time to enjoy yourself! Get a flip flop tan, and read something fun (I'm an enthusiastic proponent of the pre-law-school Harry Potter survey). Have a great day! And enjoy your Summer!
