Hello and welcome to Fridays From The Frontline, Clear Admit’s awesome amble through the sometimes pleasing, often perplexing experiences of law school applicants and current students. This week in the ‘blawgosphere’ there was a collective sigh of relief as most exams were finally completed and a few days of recuperation were granted. Applicant bloggers have begun to hear back about their applications, which has been good for the most part.
0L Sue provided her second installation of Mandarin Mondays. 0L Ricky Nelson reviewed a book how to get the most out of law school, but wasn’t overly effusive with his praise. Miami ’12 Goateed 1L enjoyed his vacation and caught up with non-law reading, though he was eyeing his constitutional law hornbook. After the first substantial snow of the season, NYU ’12 IDWSJ was committed to purchasing a pair of winter boots, no matter the fashion challenges they would create. 1l Cee only had one exam left before her holidays could begin. Austin ’12 Mariel completed all her exams and loved seeing her peers smiling and, gasp, laughing, again. NCSU ’12 TDOT wanted to know the results of his exams so he could drink alone or with company. NYU ’12 Soleil was officially half way through her first year of law school.
Harvard ’11 Ivy Lea loved her dad, babies, and Texas skies. 2L Huma liked putting pop culture references into her law exams, or at least thinking about doing so. Northwestern ’11 Jeremy managed his energy, not his time. 2L Kel linked to an article and wanted to know what her readers’ law school motivations were. Austin ’11 New Law Mom shared a few second year law truths, like how wine tastes good and time changes everything. 2L Exhibit L survived finals and looked forward to her next semester, which will only have two exams for her to confront and conquer. 2L Googiebaba found that her tastes had changed since the years when she read John Cage poems.
Finally, in third year news, 3L (In)Sanity Gal compared relaxing during Christmas vacation during law school to the temptation to walk after six hours running a marathon: a really enticing idea that might just make everything feel like it’s that much harder. 3L I’m Nobody wrote 37 pages, and took two exams in 48 hours and feared that she would never be that productive again in her life.
And that wraps up this Fridays From The Frontline. We hope that those of you have a happy holiday season today and on through New Year’s!
