Golf Lessons for Law Students

News: Golf is fun!

Mom sponsored my participation in Golf Lessons for Law Students, a KU tradition. Our first of five group lessons was yesterday. Despite spitting rain, mountains of work waiting for me at home, and general lack of hand eye coordination, I had a lot of fun.

I learned the ten-fingered, overlapping, and interlocked grips. I underwent slight improvement in depth perception over the course of the putting session. And it was fun to focus on something physical and outdoors after a long day of lectures and text books.

Little other news except that final exams continue to loom!

Bad Blogger

I can't blog with any consistency. It's not because I'm busy at every waking moment. I should probably be busy at every waking moment, but sometimes I instead roll Joey around on the floor, bake, or doodle while listening to NPR.

It's also not because I only have the internet at school and at school I am always busy. I probably should be always busy at school, but often I get distracted talking to my friends, drawing stars in my notebook margins, and taking long lunches.

It is certainly not because when I do have my computer out at school I am furiously taking notes or doing important research. Most certainly I should always be doing those things with my computer, but instead I frequently visit facebook, check my email, and play flash animation games like this one: http://gamescene.com/Something_Fishy.html

All that said, I do accomplish things from time to time. Because at the moment looking back stresses me out far less than looking forward, I will list the recent ones.

1. Thoroughly campaigned for Joey's Cutest Pet Contest victory with success.
2. Thoroughly campaigned for my traffic court victory without success.
3. Wrote a lawyering paper without drowning myself in Westlaw printouts.
4. Wrote a Law Review contest paper.
5. Taught Diddy to sidepass.
6. Acquired new students and continued my twice weekly voyages to Kansas City for lessons.
7. Started all my outlines.
8. Accepted to fall clinics.

Now that I feel a little more relaxed...Challenges to come:

1. Lawyering paper part two.
2. Lawyering oral arguments.
3. Complete all my outlines.
4. Hold an April Horse Show Camp with Abby. (WHAT was I thinking?!)
5. Take my final exams without doing too much damage to my GPA.
