Summer Class, Spring Grades, and a Summer Job

I'm loving the Evidence class that I'm taking this Summer. I think it's my favorite class thus far with the exception of Legal Writing.

My grades last semester turned out to be rather disappointing. I did fine in Legal Writing but my grades in all my other classes were worse this semester than last. I have no idea why. I was pretty sick during my finals, maybe that's why I didn't perform well. But I still felt like I did well. I had one less class and I studied even harder this semester than last, so I'm just not sure what happened. I won't get to see the tests for another few weeks at the earliest. It looks like I'm going to lose my scholarship by about a tenth of a grade point. So that's pretty frustrating, but we'll see what happens with that. There's nothing I can do about these grades now except use them as motivation to do even better on my future classes.

I got a research assistant position with one of my professors, so I'll be doing some research this summer in addition to taking my class. This is a great opportunity for me: I'll be doing interesting research, getting paid, and it will also give me something to throw on the resume. Best of all the hours are flexible and I can work from home.

I'm also doing a little research for a local practitioner.

I'm thinking this extra work will allow for an August road-trip. California here we come! Laura and I have a few weeks off in August between the summer & fall semesters... She starts law school on the 22nd! We're excited.
