I finally caught up.

I had Friday and Monday off, so I studied just about non-stop for 4 days, and managed to catch up. I think I read over 200 pages at least. Last night, I decided I needed to push through, so I stayed up until 4:30am or so. This morning I woke up at 9:30 and didn't get going right away, but I did do our practice exam for Contracts. I was pretty beat after pushing so hard the last few days.

But I feel good now because I've been able to review and go through flashcards, etc. I really need to work on creating outlines and reviewing all the black letter law, but most of all, I need to work on practice exam questions. Now that I've finished all my reading for this week, I can spend the week reviewing (except for our big memo due Friday), and maybe also manage to find time to create some decent comprehensive outlines.

I'm probably going to attend at least part of the AIPLA conference later this month. That should be pretty interesting. I'm also starting to look for opportunities to work in patent law firms next summer... Hopefully I can find something that will give me good experience; then I can find a good position the following summer.

For those of you who aren't aware, your second summer job in law school basically determines where you're going to work when you graduate. It's pretty crazy.

I think I need to get less sleep, but a sustainable amount. Maybe about 5 hours a night is a good goal. I think I'll do that and see how it goes for a while...
