Crim

Another day... it is our first break during the first day of crim in Barbri. I am really tired.

Later On

Sorry about the false start there. I realized that I was way too tired and had absolutely nothing to say yet.

Well, I am getting ready to do today's assignment and it looks like it will be an easy one, if you can believe it! I have 17 practice mc's to do in crim and then listen to the downloadable lecture. After that, all I need to do is read the mini review for crim pro for tomorrow and I'm done.

I tried something new last night. As I read the mini review, I made preliminary flash cards. I find that I'm so desparately trying to keep up with the lecturer in class, that I sometimes miss what they say. I figured, this way my reading would be more interactive and then I could pay more attention in the lecture. It mostly worked that way in practice. The one glitch was that I had printed out the flashcards last night, so I didn't want to edit them! (That's a lot of wasted ink and paper if I had to reprint them!)

So, new plan: today, I'll go ahead and make the flash cards, but I won't print them. Then I can edit them during the lecture and still keep up.

The rest of the week's lectures are: Crim Pro, Essay Writing, Remedies, All Day Practice Exam, two days of rehashing the practice exam. I've heard the two days of rehash are pretty pointless since all they do it read the answer explanations from the back of the book. But, it's two full days, 9-5, so I'm thinking they must say something more than that! Of course, it takes that long just to take the exam, spending about 1.5 minutes per question. Certainly explaining the darn things would take twice as long! Anyway... we'll see. I'll go to the first one and see if the rumor is true. If it is-- wouldn't that be great? I'd have my birthday off!

Oh, by the way, Crim Pro is the last subject that we study that is on both the multiple choice and the essay portion. Hurray! Soon, all I'll be doing is essays, baby!
