Lady Gaga show in Brooklyn I was planning on going to was cancelled due to her hip surgery...bummed, but maybe that's God's way of saying that I should be GRINDING every waking hour during my spring break?

Ditto...can't imagine how crunched the 1Ls going on spring break pro bono trips will feel. I can't imagine volunteering for 40 hours/week+travelling on top of exam prep! One of my mentors said she didn't do any schoolwork the entire break.stillwater wrote:my spring break will only involve grinding.PinkLotus wrote:Lady Gaga show in Brooklyn I was planning on going to was cancelled due to her hip surgery...bummed, but maybe that's God's way of saying that I should be GRINDING every waking hour during my spring break?

Questions for the CSWS, bros (and gals). . .
I received a code for free supplement from Aspen. What shalt I get?! I am taking Ks/Crim/Con this semester and I already have the K's E&E, Dressler, and Chemerinsky. Should I pick up a Crunchtime? Any suggestions on which one may be most helpful?

9:18 PM. Friday night. My iPhone beeps. "Hey, want to watch a movie?"
I open up my calendar app. 10 weeks till finals. I stare back at my phone. I respond with a simple "No."
Moments like these make the difference. CSWS is a slow, steady battle. Do your time now. It will pay off.
4 hours left... 4 hours left...
Edit: See this? Before and after. Before finals: CSWS. After finals: PROFIT.

Criminal: Dressler.
Con: Chereminsky.
E&Es are good for hypos for legal reasoning. Develop this skill.
