So for all of you who just finished that first year of LS, what (besides TLS) is a huge waist of study time?

huh?

I spent an awful long time learning the law. Then there was this CRAZY part where I practiced applying it. After that we had some exams and some liquor.

I think OP might have been looking for those things which law students do instead of studying. I may be wrong, though.

Facebook was the biggest waste of time.

Reading cases isn't unequivocally a bad idea, if you're going to outline the substantive law, and synthesize substantive principles all night then maybe reading cases is a bad idea. If you're merely trying to learn doctrine slowly, and follow the teacher in class then reading cases makes plenty of sense.

lolz, thanks, but your recovery B-up is miserable, not to mention fox and falcon can just deflect your projectiles and sheik can run laps around you.

B-up is only used when you foolishly try an elongated attack on me, I easily block it, and your % is over 100. If not, I will grab you with my chain (for which there is not defense), throw you up into the air, and drive my sword into your a-hole. Then, I will unleash about 10 sword swipes in rapid fashion all the while jumping back and forth around you with R-over.

Ha! no defense for a chain grab? I can roll past your chain, make a cup of tea while you recover, and still have time for my smash double kick off the edge . . . for which your B-up will be insufficient to get you back on, and you won't be able to grab the edge because i'll time hanging on it and watch you fall to your death.
