As you could probably guess, I’ve been too busy to post about how school is going. I suppose that’s the usual dilemma with law school blogs. You start a blog about law school, but law school is too busy and too much work to leave any time for blogging. Oh, well.
Week 2 was only slightly less crazy than week 1. We are all still adjusting to the new schedule, and figuring out the professors. Each has his/her unique style, which makes life interesting (in a good way). I’m quite surprised that contracts and legal writing are shaping up to be my favorite classes. Who would have known!
Although I appreciate the importance of Civ Pro, so far I’m not hugely excited about it. And so far it seems more complicated than it probably should be –maybe because of the lengthy Supreme Court opinions we’ve been reading. The class is always at the end of the day, when my brain is already saturated, and refuses to work at full capacity. It helps a little that the professor’s voice reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld (he’s funny, too)… if you close your eyes, you’d think it’s Seinfeld teaching civil procedure!
As a side note, I got my USPTO registration number last week! As a matter of fact, I’d been a registered patent agent for almost three weeks already without knowing about it, but the letter went to three different addresses in two different states, so that took a while. Which serves as a reminder that I need to inform the patent office of my new address! (Fortunately they give you 30 days to do that.)
I realize I’m way late to the game – but holy crap! Congrats on passing the Patent Bar!!! I bought the PLI materials (I have an engineering background) but have yet to crack them. Sigh. And I’m a 3L. So…you were wise to get it over with when you did. I’m still not sold on the idea of devoting my xmas vacation to it, either…but we’ll see.
Thanks!
I think I would at least get started on the materials over the break… next summer you’ll be busy worrying about the bar exam!
