Lulled into Complacency: Why I'm more behind than I think I am
Ambimb tells us that only three weeks into the semester he's already far behind, especially in his most hated class, Corporations, the class with the uber-Socratic professor in which he hasn't been called on yet.
I'm in a bit of a different situation in that I got called on in Crim Pro already, and was reduced to a smouldering pile of ashes by the end of the class. Knowing that Prof CrimPro only calls on one person in each 75 minute class, that there are 70+ students in the class and that there are only 19 class periods left in the semester, I won't get called on again. That's makes it almost impossible for me to force myself to do the reading well, if at all. I've been giving each day's reading a cursory skim since I got called on, and since there's only 28 classes and lots of material to cover, the reading assignments are usually pretty hefty. Add that to the fact that Prof CrimPro is content to let his victim give wrong answers for half the class, making taking decent notes somewhat difficult. I'm a tad lost in there.

I, too, am far behind. This sucks. No one told me 2L would be this much more intense.

Yeah, I feeeel your pain. I'd always been told everything after 1L was a cakewalk. Fuck all, ya'll, I say. I'm committed to 12 hours next semester including 3 hours in the philosophy department.
