Day in the life of at 10:07 PM

I figured that this week I would go over what I do on a daily basis. I usually get up around 7 or 8ish which means I lay in bed and fight getting up as long as possible. When I eventually get out of bed I mosey on over to my computer and read some news to get my brain going a bit and to catch up. I eat something small like cereal or fruit and hop in the shower. I get a couple cups of coffee in me then move it on over to class.

Classes are okay. Most of them are not too stressful except for when you are “on call.” If you’ve ever seen a law school movie being “on call” means you basically break down the case for the entire class and teacher as the teacher grills you a bit to get the point of the case across. My first week to be on call is this week; I will let you know how it goes. Otherwise, you can volunteer to answer some questions and the teacher just gets the answer they want and goes on.

Once classes or over or when I get a break in classes I get back to my place and make some eggs and toast to get a legit breakfast into me. If I am done with classes for the day then I get down to reading my cases and going through my studies to be done. Most of the time I screw around (something I need to cut down on but I have been good) but I have so far read for every class which I am proud of. I had to upgrade my chair as I spend 30% of my waking hours at my desk:

I usually finish around eight or nine (usually I just cut myself off since studying is never done). I play some video games or watch TV about this time and get to bed around eleven or twelve at night, making sure to say night to my girl.

I do this day after day after day. While skill helps, law school is all about endurance. You do not want to read every day. It might be impossible to read everyday with no real break. We shall see by the end of this semester.
