Now that I know how to prep for exams, I can't bring myself to do anything more principled than play Bejeweled Blitz during class.

I personally read the book, make my own outlines, then do practice exams. That process doesn't take 13 weeks and doesn't require me to be in class.

I just got my Blitz score on my iPhone up to 400,000. Pretty good, but since it's on the phone I can't use the elite technique. Of course, I don't use boosts.

My Bejeweled Twist blitz score is >1.6million.

I totally agree with OP. I can't really focus during class. I can't get myself to do the readings seriously. I know a hornbook will explain it all very well and then I can take a ton of practice exams.

What I'm confused about is that some 2Ls seem as motivated (at this stage) as they were during 1L

Never underestimate how much Clarence Thomas hates "elites."
