The silver lining for Joad is that the Rockies should be comfortably out of it by early May.

First day of class tomorrow means that today is my first day of reading.

Feels good to get back into the grind

Debating just casebriefing it... taking notes in class. Then E&Eing it / outlining once finish a section in each part of syllabus. Once class ends just start ptptptptptpttp

Last semester I read every case, went completely by professor. Crammed outline at end of semester.. median pwned

Just feeling like reading is a complete waste of time.. Should be doing practice problems throughout instead..

I completely agree with this...and progressively read less and less cases as the semester went on.

I definitely agree with this. For example, with Civ Pro, you need Freer and only Freer. E&E is great for joinder rules.

I continue to read all the cases, making margin notes, but I think its because I don't have the balls to abandon my routine. Though I never briefed or transcribed notes or any of that.

Depends on the class

Also, some readings are actually, you know, interesting...
