So all you’re going to get is my classic unordered list of things. This time it’s things I’ve been doing since I completed my first year of law school on May 13:

  • Worked on redesigning Iowa’s College of Law website. So sad I just missed the glory of Tales from Redesignland, but I can say at least I haven’t experienced this yet.
  • Started assembling a new website to compile Social Media Best Practices for Law Schools
  • Checked my grades. Again and again and again. Nothing posted yet…
  • Prepared for my remote summer internship at Montana Legal Services, starting June 1. Yay!
  • Checked my grades. First one posted was Crim Law. Meh. Disappointment and self-doubt sets in.
  • Shot video for Social Media Best Practices. I don’t need to see myself in HD, thanksverymuch.
  • Watched Seasons 1-3 of Battlestar Galactica.
  • Checked my grades. Con Law was up (which I didn’t expect until Halloween). Did much better than expected, thanks no doubt to analogies of dolphins and tunas. *Happy dance*
  • Worked more and more on the law school website. I think they will like this color scheme stolen from whopooped.org…
  • Checked my grades. Wait— WHAT?! I refreshed the page over and over but that 4.2 didn’t go away. Best. Grade. Ever.
  • Checked the existing law school website for class rank information. Over and over and over. No luck yet.

    • I’ve also spent a fair amount of time the last few weeks chuckling at myself because I decided to not try so hard this semester and focus on being a good mom before being a good law student. Apparently that strategy had a positive impact on my grades. Yippee!
