Summertime and the Livin's easy

Not always true when you are a law student.  Summer isn't about pools, sun, and vacations.  Summer is about internships, anxiety for when grades will post (about 6 weeks after you take finals-it blows), and summer school.  That's right kids-I am taking summer school.  In order for me to fit in family law (a must, I believe) I had to take it over the summer.

Sure, I have done intercession before in undergrad, but this is different.  Undergrad and law school are completely different animals.  I will have class every day and my final will be the first week in July.  My reading will be about 30 pages a night, which is the usual for law school, so I am not too scared.

On top of summer school, I will be working 20 hours a week.  I will be doing research, writing memos and briefs, and hopefully getting to do a probate!  Internships are important, they set a standard for what you will be doing post graduation.  If you don't work over the summer at a law office, it can really hinder your job opportunities later.

Wish me luck.  I'll be dreaming of pool time inside a stone building this summer:
