Think one day will destroy me?

Na. Let it all soak in, brother.

I really am a firm believer in working smart. If you don't take breaks, you'll self-destruct. Pulling all-nighters or doing other extreme things is totally unnecessary.

Couldn't agree more.

Are you guys really starting to CSWS this early? I haven't done anything other than read for class/ take notes from my reading/class notes. I guess I'm behind time to kick it into high gear soon.

ditto. ive been a complete piece of shit so far. read probably 90% of the readings. havent paid TOTAL attention during class. this week begins my climb to the top.

Getting to Maybe makes so much more sense this semester.

I am reading it now for the first time and 100% agree. It's frightening how many of the examples they use were on my first semester exams in some form.

Ditto, BEAST MODE for me "officially" commences on Monday, the 10-week mark.

Doing next week's reading today, and writing a LRW Statement of Facts tomorrow, plus organizing my argument for that class's project.

Next week is E&Es and starting outlining. Going to crush the first LRW graded project next Monday and devote the rest of the weekend to getting absurdly ahead in at least one class.

How has everyone's weekend been shaping up?

Hit me up if you want a detailed Farnsworth OL, tho I recommend very strongly that you peruse the treatise itself if you have the time--it is a classic and despite its size very readable/lucid.

I have heard positive feedback about Chirelstein, which is wayyy shorter, but I have not used it myself.

I used Chirelstein. It was aight. The remedies section and the section on breaches that are good - i keep forgetting hte term- were particulary strong. Otherwise, I thought it was next to useless. Ks isn't really that difficult.

[UnamSanctam]

the section on breaches that are good - i keep forgetting hte term

Efficient breaches?

Efficient breaches?

yea man, that's what im talking about. i don't know shit about economics or the like, so contracts, esp. in certain regards, was kinda foreign territory for me. so remedies and efficient breach were well-treated in Chirelstein and helped clear some things up.

Chirelstein was great for me. Helped give me a broad overview of where the class was headed. My prof was very econ-focused, though, so it may vary based on who's teaching your course.

I only remember because efficient breach was like lolwut for me. I'm the same with econ.

I just kicked into gear this weekend! Still ahead of the curve man.

The TAs for my classes have been sending out "class summaries" every damn week. These are basically condensed outlines. It's BS for the people who actually want to do the work and make their own outlines. Does this mean everyone is going to have the same information, and getting away from median is that much harder? Ugh.

I had a TA do this last semester. The nice thing is that a lot of people won't pay attention to these things, and others will use the summary and nothing else. Use this to your advantage.

I had a class last semester where the professor pretty much handed out unit outlines. I didn't find it to impact my ability to get away from median. Use it wisely.

Welcome! And if you need someone to talk to about what's going on in your life outside of school (I experienced a tragedy last semester, myself ) please don't hesitate to send a PM.

Ditto. I'm just trying to keep up at this point.

[BlueLotus]

Wanna pay it forward to my homies. If you'd like a Ks chart from someone who booked the class, please let me know!

Full disclosure: my prof is 80 years old, a little nuts, and doesn't test on the UCC.
