Haven't done shit yet.

[UnamSanctam]

Due today and I am in the FIGHT OF MY LIFE to finish this thing on time.

[hyakku]

^ Don't know if I'm finishing this BS. The only reason I haven't quit is because I hate being a weakling, but the weak path was probably TCR this time.

[UnamSanctam]

Yeah, I won't even be the least bit upset if I get dinged.

[Doorkeeper]

I'm going to get flak for this, but I actually kind of enjoy the write-on. I absolutely hate the ridiculously long hours that I have to put in, but reading all this material and feeling like I deeply and thoroughly understand an area of law is kind of rewarding to me.

This being said, Bluebooking can go to hell.

[LetsGoLAW]

Now that I have graduated, I can confirm that LR write-on was the worst experience of my three years of law school.

You're not alone etc.

I haven't graduated but looking back at 1L and 2L years, I'd have to agree.

Two days in, TITCR. Finished the halfway point of reading 500 pages. No burn out yet.

How da phuck do you read all that? (assuming the comp didn't start like 8 months ago). Props.

I spend 12 hours per day. No more. 9 hours of sleep reduces chance of burnout. I spend 4 full days reading 500 pages. I skip a lot of bullshit, but for the most part reading it carefilly.

God this sucks. Due by tomorrow night, thankfully have my rough draft written so just going through citations which is hell. I thought going through all the research and outlining my paper would be the most work and hours wise it probably is but the BlueBooking is the most mentally numbing crock of shit I've ever done in an academic setting. Combine that with the last month of finals studying + finals and this is the most burnt out I've ever felt. Cannot wait to turn my brain off for the summer.

Feel exactly the opposite, which is even weirder I guess. I'm kind of enjoying the subcite, but the case comment is making me want to kill myself.

Submitted.

The essay was only mildly shitty but I haven't started adding the footnotes. Not expecting that to be pleasant.

Damn dude you already finished the essay? I'm just starting to read over the materials lol

Once you get through the materials it goes pretty fast. The end of my week looks pretty busy so I needed to get off to a fast start.

I hope you're right. Reading hundreds of pages in such a short period is a mind fuck.

Ours is only 50 pages of materials (hides).

< 500. "Only 150 more, only 150 more."

WE WILL SURVIVE.

Yeah if I actually had to read 500 pages I'd probably decide that Law Review just isn't for me.

I'm already 99.9% convinced it's not for me.

I haven't graduated but looking back at 1L and 2L years, I'd have to agree.

And I'm pretty sure both of these guys are/were clerkship gunners, so it must be really bad for us. Just gotta push through.

This. I'm trying to get the notion out of my head a ~100 work week may be for nothing.

But, this pain is temporary. Push on. The reward of SUMMER is on the other end. At least we're not alone, but in this together.

Hopefully you'll Beautiful Mind it and all of the assorted readings will eventually fit together in your brain.

[notedgarfigaro]

just started grading...it's funny, you can see the EXACT POINT where the person gave up on life.

[fadedsunrise]

How important is it to actually read all 400 pages and try to cite everything? First day, made it through about the first 80 and outlined a roadmap of where to go/what support to look for. Can't help but think they have to be trying to trick us into doing extra work, or are they really looking for broad coverage?

FUCK MY LIFE, I don't actually want this law review crap beyond how fancy employers think it is. -_-

Dude, we can't give you advice on what to do on your write-on while you're doing it.
