Lists
I’m in the process of creating three different lists that I’ll use over the next two weeks. The first has been created. It’s a listing of all my homework assignments and due dates for the next two weeks (at least the ones I know about!). I’ve done that so I can take care of some assignments/portions of assignments on nights when things are light. I normally just do a week at a time, but since I’m headed home next weekend and I have a BLR assignment due the week after I get back,(not to mention a paper due this Monday and a midterm on the 18th) I need to make sure I use my time wisely. I also want to attempt having only Criminal Law to do when I’m at home with my parents. I’m not sure how realistic that is at this point however. The new BLR assignment was released this week and it’s fairly library intensive. Initially it was due the Wednesday after I got back from my parents (the 20th), but it’s since been pushed back two days. I think that’s probably because we’re not getting any guidance on online statutory research until the 20th…not really helpful for many of us. My dad had suggested possibly working in the library Friday night and driving up Saturday morning. It looks like that won’t be necessary. The next question is whether I can get enough of my other work done to join my parents at my grandparents’ house on Friday night, as opposed to going straight to my parents’ and reading. I’m definitely going to have Criminal Law work to do over that weekend. I may or may not have Contracts homework. There’s also the possibility of legal writing reading to deal with. The question is how much of each of those I’ll have to do. At the very least, I don’t want to take home two casebooks. In any case, that’s the first list.
The second list is my list of things that have to be done before I leave for class next Friday and does not include any homework assignments. It’s things like laundry, packing, syncing my OneNote Notebooks on Thursday night or Friday morning so that I can take my Netbook to class on Friday and thus also take my netbook home with me for the weekend. I’ve started this list, but it’s not finished.
My last list is the list of what I have to pack for the weekend. There’s the general clothes for two days, plus something to wear to church on Sunday. There’s also something to wear to bed, plus my medication. I also need to remember my iPod and phone charger. Also need to remember the hair dryer for Sunday morning. There are things I’ve forgotten I’m sure, but I’ve got several days to make up the list. The current plan is to pack Friday morning, put my suitcase in my car prior to class, and then drive to class and pay the $5 to park in visitor parking. After Civil Procedure gets out, I’ll head to my car, then make sure I have gas, get a drink from a gas station and maybe a snack, and then drive up 🙂
