Getting into the Groove

Per tradition, I am doing as much as possible, which usually means that it will be almost more than I can handle. 

I decided I wanted to graduate a semester early, which means taking 16 credits (minimum) each semester and getting internship credit during the summer. I'm currently taking 7 classes this semester, including being on the International Law and Management Review (law journal).  

On top of that, I landed a fabulous job as a research assistant at the BYU Law Careers Services Office. This is a shout out for their blog, which is a great but little-known resource: http://byulawcso.blogspot.com/. They have tips for interviews, resumes, work relations, networking, etc.

I am also the president of the "Writer's League," which is a Law School Club dedicated to helping law students pursue their interest in non legal writing (fiction, non fiction, poetry, etc). I also started a blog for that: http://writing-rights.blogspot.com/. I mostly blog about visiting author events and other writing workshops provided locally. I had no idea that Utah Valley offered so much!

Finally, I also signed on to be a Kaplan Bar Review representative. For those of you who don't know, the Bar is a huge test you have to take to become a lawyer. It covers many different topics, and a basic law review course will take 6 weeks to 2 months to complete, and guarantees you passing if you follow the study program. I chose Kaplan because it has a flexible and individualized program.

The ultimate goal is to graduate December 2014 and take the Bar in February 2015. Until then, this is my busy life!

Rhetorically,
