Once again, we've reached that time in the semester when things are ridiculously busy. Walk through the library at any time and you're almost certain to see someone asleep at a desk or sprawled out on one of the couches with their jacket pulled up over their head. For us 1Ls, it's Appellate Brief season. We have about two or three weeks to research and pull together a 15-17 page brief. In addition, professors are playing catchup and assigning massive amounts of reading. And to think, I used to enjoy Spring.
There is one positive we can look forward (I mean other than a summer in Africa). Registration for next Fall is starting soon and we're beginning to realize that we're actually going to have a chance to take classes that we enjoy next year. Of course, there are some mandatory classes. We'll both be assigned a Con Law II class and an Evidence class next semester, but we get to choose our other three classes. For me, Copyright is being offered next semester as well as a Trademark class and a Patent class. Hopefully I'll be able to get into at least one of them. For Hers, Estate Planning I is available in the Fall and she's going to fight hard to make it into that class.
For now though, I'm back to researching my Appellate Brief.
