i'm back

It's coz I'm really good at updating all my online accounts when i'm suppose to be studying.  Only 7 pages left on my contracts reading but nope, im blogging away.

On Semester 1: I did okay...most people said I did pretty well, I say it can be better, hopefully I can stay motivated during the upcoming semester. 

On lessons learned:
Pacing myself - definitely need to balance my life better so I don't get burnt out halfway through
Shouldn't compare myself to other law students - but that's a hard lesson to apply.  I just gotta tell myself that it's not the number of hours I put into the work but it's how efficient I am. 


On Winter break
Totally needed that time off with nothing to worry about.  Hopefully I don't regret it.  I didn't work on resumes or cover letters or writing samples.  I wish I could say I have a job lined up for Spring but I don't.  Now on top of 5 classes, I have to worry about finding a job (hopefully a paying one!). 

What I will do different this semester
(1) see the fam more often (especially before everything gets crazy)
(2) stay healthy (can't let myself fall into the routine of relying on junk food and caffeine to sustain my energy)
(3) keep up with household chores (clean home, clear mind?)
(4) study study study study and not give up halfway through the semester.  while cramming at the end kinda sorta worked for me, i probably would have done better if I didn't!
