As I mentioned in my previous blog, my reading days started a day earlier than the official ones, thankfully. There are a lot of 1Ls who I’ve come to realize are a bit pampered compared to the MELP program. Their first exam isn’t until the end of this coming week, and have a few days [...]

IT’S SNOWING!!!!
December 5, 2009 – 6:45 pm
My first snowfall in Vermont, as I look out the window and fail in attempting to focus on studying when all I really want to do is catch snowflakes on my tongue.
First Semester Down!
December 4, 2009 – 2:58 pm
Well I’m done with 1/3 of my degree, minus a few papers and one final. It’s exciting to think that I have only two more semesters to go. The advantage of this degree is definitely efficiency. I enjoyed my classes, and more importantly discovered that I am not interested in going on for the J.D. [...]
Last Day of Classes
December 4, 2009 – 1:52 pm
As the previous blogger mentioned, today is the last day of classes for this first semester. It’s hard to believe how quickly the semester has gone. August seems like ages ago, and yet it seems impossible that we’re already to reading period.
In two of my classes yesterday, the professors gave inspiring and motivational closing talks [...]
Done! Well, kind of.
December 4, 2009 – 2:48 am
Today denotes the final day of my first semester as a MELP. The final day of classes at least. I have been fortunate to have Fridays off all semester and am thrilled at the moment especially. Official reading days don’t start until Saturday but, without class tomorrow, I am able to have one more reading [...]
Thanksgiving in Vermont
December 1, 2009 – 6:08 pm
It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving break is over, and that we’ve only this week left for classes before finals arrive. Instead of talking about the end of the term, and all of the studying that will involve, I think I’ll talk about Thanksgiving in Vermont.
I was fortunate enough to stay in Vermont for the holiday [...]
The Final Bend
November 30, 2009 – 4:18 am
Its Sunday evening and I’m sitting at my desk with my Natural Resources text in front of me, clicking between course webpages on TWEN (Westlaw) and Blackboard (Lexis). In between my readings and outlining I figure its a good point to add a quick note to the MELP blog.
For my Thanksgiving break, I was able [...]
Frosty Morning!
November 19, 2009 – 1:52 pm
Today I went outside to leave for my 8:30am class and everything was covered in a thick layer of frost! The world was sparkly and white – so exciting! What was less exciting was seeing my car was also covered in ice, meaning I needed to scrape off my windshield. I’m beginning to see the [...]
So close and yet so far
November 18, 2009 – 3:30 am
Its Tuesday night but feels like it should be later in the week than it is. Maybe that is a result of me doing homework every night since Saturday. I know that sounds truely thrilling. Trust me. I’d rather be doing other things than study on a Saturday night however, tis the season to make [...]
Just another Friday Night…
November 16, 2009 – 12:52 am
This past Friday night was Specific Performance. It was AWESOME!!!!!! There is another one next semester also, I am already planning on attending. If you are like me and do not know what it is, well basically it is a Talent Show. Yes, I know what you are thinking, “A Talent Show at a Law [...]
