Things To Do B4 Law School

Just wanna create a to-do thread for myself, it will be constantly updated, as ideas arise.

1. by all means, even it means that i might resort to some archaic black magics eventually, i need to make my handwriting legible, period...

Law School, Surprise Me

I dare you

in a way, i feel like i v been in law school for a while already, at least the intensity level has been fairly comparable ever since I decided to endure two ongoing master degree plans and one 20 hr/w assistantship job.

Just as I thought I would once again come out unbruised, the finals have been hitting me hard.

That basically puts an end to this entry.


P.S.

For future law school Rui,

don't ever forget that health policy and biochemistry once made your life insane too

in the great memory of the legendary blood-stained semester of Spring 2009:
Seven 3-credit classes, one 20 hr/week TA job and one 20 hr/week RA job = a hell of a prep for law school

So far,

I got 785 words,

Way to go, Rui.

P.S. I just found out that The Gettysburg Address is only 272 words, now I have new appreciation for Lincoln...

Yet Another LSAT Test Day

One LSAT cycle later (which feels like eternity), well, i am still in the seemingly perpetual agony of customizing essays & quatriple checking apps. Procrastinators-r-us....

Life s been pretty simple for me lately. Balancing among classes, finals, assistantships and apps is one double-shot-full-time employment. I'v been averaging on one app per day lately and I am totally enamored of my schools. Yet they come individually to my life, sweep me off the floors n keep me infatuated for one day and one day only. I am insanely possessed till i pass out at 5 am in the morning.

N the cycle keeps going.

The Start

Well, I guess every fresh new blog demands a corny opening entry thru which the bored blogger can declare to the whole world (or in most cases, solely himself and his dog) that he has finally decided to (pretend to) be slightly more interesting thus started to broadcast and fiercely exaggerate his meager and lackluster existence to the equally bored fellow homo sapiens.

This is just yet another one of such blogs.

Except that it might be even drier, since I will only be using this long overdue blog to record my ordinarily freakish thoughts, experiences and dirts regarding law school. I always believed that my wacky ideas were too original to be exposed and my life were too rich to be recorded. Well....as of now at the age of 25, I gotta say...damn I AM old, so old that I am actually excited to cave in to the erosion of pop culture and to start my very own blog here. The idea has been hovering in my mind for months ever since I became swamped with the LSAT. Finally, here I am.

I am certain I will still live with my incurable reluctance to blog and aversion towards affected sentiments; I will still be inclined to just leave my capricious humors n thoughts fleet right by, rather than to take the time to regurgitate and materialize them on my screen. However, I guess I will give it a real try this time, after a score of failed n deserted blog projects. Cuz i am just goddamn psyched about the new journey ahead of me. The thrill actually penetrates to my very inner core and reduces me to a craving sentimental critter. I freaking heart it.

Well, buckle up cuz we r in for a bumpy ride

P.S. Dr. Ohsefldt's lecture is long........
