Early-Stage Progress in Law School

Law school: first week hit with two assignments, each 15%. To be fair, we knew it was coming, but somehow still felt like we got ambushed. Welcome to law school, I guess hahaha.

I didn’t do sufficient prep for the first lesson, and my participation (or the lack thereof) was showing. Big difference—when we don’t do the pre-readings, the whole discussion will fly past us. I was essentially caught for not knowing definitions of legal terms I should have known if the pre-readings were done adequately. That’s when I knew I needed to start preparing much earlier if I want to survive.

Fast forward to the weekend before Lunar New Year, I got back my first assignment grade - there is always room for improvement. What was immediately clear - commit time to do pre readings on the regular, and put more effort in understanding the content instead of last-minute scrambling.

On a brighter note, I have finally finally played badminton after a whole month. Lucky to escape without injuries and somehow shook off the rust quite quickly. Also played some table tennis in between with colleagues, this one might be more sporadic.

Baby steps. Cheers.
