Lol thanks. What do you mean by save a bit?

I had something due right for LRW right when I got back, and I also used Spring Break for job interviews. You could probably make it a full-week relaxation, but there may be a shitstorm waiting for you when you get back to work (or you may legitimately have nothing to do)lawbeahs wrote:wert3813 wrote:Yeah you're good.

Follow-up on this question- is the Spring Break actually a full week break that can be used to relax/recuperate, or are there assignments/classes/necessary studying/ etc that you have to use the break to accomplish?
It can be stress free. I spent 1L spring break in Cabos and didnt bring a textbook. Just did crazy work before and after to make that happen. Had the job search finished in mid-Feb.acrossthelake wrote:Definitely don't do that.PotenC wrote:Thanks, much appreciated.

Winter Break is a true break, although, it is also a good time to job search.
Spring Break isn't a true break 1L year, but can be for 2L & 3L year. Those who actually carved it out as true relaxation time were pretty stressed after getting back 1L year.

2 years ago (2012):GRADE Release
Class of 2013 grade release will be Friday, May 24th.
Starting this spring, will be begin to release Upper level course grades as we receive them for all continuing students starting on Friday, May 24th. This includes the 1L spring elective.
All Required 1L courses grades will be released on Wednesday, June 12th.
Note: The Wednesday June 13th maintenance was actually when grades were released, not the announced date of June 15th.1. Spring grades will be released on Friday, June 15 at noon.
2. We will be performing scheduled maintenance on HELIOS beginning at 6:00AM on Wednesday, June 13 which will require the system to be offline. During this time, you will not have access to HELIOS. An email announcement will be sent once HELIOS is back online which is expected to be by the end of the day on Wednesday.

The Clerkship Blog noted that they heard, informally, that upper-level grades would be released on or around May 27.tomwatts wrote:AHA!

In relation to the grade calendar: my bet (mentioned before) is May 23 for upper-level grades (with the possibility of some trickling in later) and June 11 for 1L grades. That's based on the last two years and some other reasons.
They did say that. I think they are wrong by a few days.ph14 wrote:The Clerkship Blog noted that they heard, informally, that upper-level grades would be released on or around May 27.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Just a guess or did you hear otherwise? I personally would be surprised if grades came out that early (2 weeks from the end of the exam period). But I guess that is roughly when they came out last year so we will see!tomwatts wrote:They did say that.

Fair enough. It was Ames work after spring break, so needed the Ames partner to wrap stuff up anyway... wasn't stressed any of second semester 1L.acrossthelake wrote:This is more my point. In 2L & 3L, you can generally have a stress-free Spring Break and not have to really "make up" for it the rest of the semester (either before or after) if you choose the right classes & balance extracurriculars well.BlakcMajikc wrote:

In contrast, I worked through spring break my 1L year, but then was also a fair bit less stressed after Spring Break.
I would think, and I'm just speculating, that your undergrad can't really hurt you, unless you actually need the substance of your degree to do your job (e.g. IP work needs science background). I didn't go to a great undergrad by any means, and I don't think anyone looks at me weird:)guppy55 wrote:A couple last miscellaneous questions (Note: I am very grateful to everyone who is answering all of these!)
1. I went to a notoriously bad public undergrad -- a consistent top 20 "party school." When I've traveled abroad or gone to conferences at other schools, people tend to assume I'm a joke (or, that I'm the one to take out to the bars for a good time). Is the name of my undergrad going to follow/haunt me down the road, or will the shiny Harvard Law name listed above it on my resume make this irrelevant?
2. My notoriously bad undergrad was in a lovely warm sunny city. Does anyone have any tips for adjusting to the cold? Are the winters just really, profoundly horrible? I've been advised by a Boston-dwelling friend to buy a sun lamp...
that much) on a new north face jacket (or the like), or try to go to TJ Maxx/Marshalls in Boston before it gets really cold to look for a jacket that could work. Also boots that are waterproof because there is always some large, deep puddle of melted snow where you need to cross the street. Thick gloves, and a beanie cap to cover your ears/ear tips. I would say dorms will help your social life and quality of life if the other option is being a long walk away. Also, there will be a loooot of people that live in the dorms in your section, and so there will be people wanting to do stuff in the common areas.ttime97 wrote:Also housing is confusing me the most at this moment. Is it worth it to spend the first year in the dorms at all? does it make a difference to your social or quality of life? Have people found that it makes a difference or should you just go look at Boston housing if you have time over the summer?
Totally happy with being pointed to a past post that speaks to this topic.
It's a mix of things. Grades came out the Friday before graduation last year. Grades coming out the Friday before graduation rather than the day before graduation generally makes sense; they need to know that people actually passed their classes (unlikely to be a problem, but you never know with 500+ 3Ls) and they need to sort out Latin honors, etc. Grades were due from profs last Friday, so they will have been sitting on the grades for a week and have no reason not to release them. And, finally, the Registrar has a habit of telling people that grades will be up several days after they're actually going to be posted and then posting them early (for example, the June 15, 2012 release date that turned into June 13). So I bet the Registrar told the clerkship people May 27, but that was basically just the last possible day that grades could conceivably be released if something goes wrong and they don't get them out on Friday. (And it is the last possible day: they need grades before graduation, for the above reasons.)ph14 wrote:Just a guess or did you hear otherwise?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
