It has been such a frantic week or so here. I'm writing this as I take a break from the copious amount of readings assigned in law school.
A quick summary of what I've learnt so far (in general chronological occurence during a typical day)
1. Setting 3 alarms to wake up is efficient and effective
2. Showering the night before and laying out clothes for next morning allows me to reach the train station in 12-14 minutes, 15 minutes is cutting it.
3. The 7:52 am train is also a good option if you miss the 7:34 train in New Hyde Park.
4. When Penn Station-bound, sit in the last 2 cars of the LIRR so I'm closer to the 8th avenue ACE trains to West 4th Station.
5. Food portions are extremely large, so anything within $6.99 is very very adequate expenditure for my individual consumption.
6. Haggling has saved me upwards of $40 when riding cabs who don't charge by meter (outside of Manhattan).
7. Sit in the middle back rows of the class so I won't be called on very often by professor.
8. Do all readings, including supplements. Prep for every class religiously and rigorously so I can sound smart but still don't understand a lot of it.
9. I have a highlighter legend, so my casebooks are all rainbow coloured now. Lesson is to get more highlighters I guess. I have a 99cent store near me so that should be okay.
10. IRAC in legal analysis is really handy and saves a lot of time
11. In contracts, consideration (performance or a return promise) must be bargained for (R2K §71.1) .
12. When L.I-bound, sit in first 3 cars of the LIRR so I'm closer to the crosswalk across the railway tracks and home.
13. Best chinese, pizza & indian food around here have been identified, order over phone and walk over for take-out is the best option, since no time/lazy to cook. Will look into cost-saving meal preparation come the Fall/Winter.
14. Fav study spot - Bobst, alternative Wash. Sq Starbucks on W4th, or any cafe in Village.
15. Cheaper living costs in suburbs offset by hefty LIRR ticket costs.
That's all for now, returning to CivPro. Will write more about my thoughts on law school in general soon.
