The key to getting over an obsession is to start a new one...

In 1829, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story stated: "The law is a jealous mistress and requires a long and constant courtship. It is not to be won by trifling favors, but by lavish homage."

Nice quote. In that case, I choose to not bore the law into rejection by being a beta and white-knighting it. I handle my business, giving the law just enough attention to crave more of Daddy's aesthetics. It will submit, not I. Yuh

If that's a self-tar of "Daddy", the law would swoon over it.

Ready to show this advocacy memo who's boss. Only ~48 more hours 'til it's due.

Good post, PL.

Personally, I'm worried about the possibility of burning out. Wasn't an issue last semester, but this semester is different. My classmates seem to be feeling it, as well. Between classes, briefs, final exams looming in the not-so-distant future and the job search, our plates are full.

I'm a little worried too, since this semester is worth a lot more credits.

On the bright side, at least the uncertainty of fall semester is gone--I know where I stand, what works, what doesn't etc. On top of a personal tragedy in November (discussed in that thread I posted), throughout the semester my low self-esteem was kicked into overdrive. Upon hearing the eloquent things my classmates said in class, I thought I was not smart enough to be here and could not possibly compete with them. I was beset with a ridiculous amount of insecurity. Now I know that even though I went to an undergrad no one's heard of and got a 164 on the LSAT, I am just as capable of the folks here who went to HYPS etc. undergrad with 170+ LSATs.

YO, I got some opinions on this. I burned out periodically 1st semester. Including on the eve of finals, during finals, etc. The key is to keep up all semester, plant the seeds of knowledge, that way you don't have to rely on some compressed time period where you can't foresee how you'll actually be feeling. Law school does not require all nighters or Herculean displays of endurance. Just a little bit at a time. I like to call it "layering." What you do in the grind leading up to finals is continue to add layers on what you picked up during the semester and filling in the holes.

Had to google "spoon pics" lol (don't frequent bodybuilding forums)

Will do, but instead of holding a spoon, maybe a CSWS sign?

This. Pacing is key...

Solid advice. Slow and steady does win the race.

Lmao, that would work! Or one that says, "U mirin?" Haha

And agreed to everyone repping solid pacing. Aside from this brief, I've yet to put in 6 hours of work (class time doesn't count) in a day, but will gradually uptick that number as finals near.

I watched a shitload of netflix the first half of last semester, maybe first 2/3s.

Frankly spent more time on BBMisc (also MauriceGains there, give me a shout if y'all are aware) and watching American Horror Story than working this week. Mad, not even once.

Just deactivated my facebook. Don't want to be distracted by the awesomeness of my non-lawschool friends' lives

...especially those who are getting engaged, married, and having children.

Don't worry brahs, Zyzz is watching over us.
