No I'm the Neo of going to the library for 5 hours and accomplishing nothing but gchat and facebook. I have serious attention problems, so I have to do stuff like that to keep myself on task. Studying for me when there are distractions around, even of the SLIGHTEST bit, is really hard.

2nd semester: maybe 3

1st semester 1L I studied for 4-5 hours per day out of fear lol.
Im a 2nd Semes 1L now and even though the work load is more, i study for about 3 hours everyday... but its typically at least 6 days a week if not everday...
