i just wanna hear about another gourdy sighting thats all

🥜 liberdeez Follow

op. i'm so sorry op. gourdy isn't real you have to let her go. they had a whole trial about it.

🔐 wrightorwrong Follow

hi!! so this isn't actually the case as while gourdy was briefly mentioned in a trial, said trial had nothing to do with whether or not gourdy was "real" per se as much as. well. murder, actually. while gourdy WAS found out to be an inflatable steel samurai this was not brought up in the case at all as the veracity of gourdy wasn't really as relevant as the fact that the witness was looking for gourdy rather than at the murder she claimed to have seen. plus this was also a relatively small part of a MUCH larger trial which for those interested not only solved the dl-6 case but ALSO marked the end of prosecutor von karma's ~40 year long record and the court records are really a fascinating read through!!

Lucky number: i don’t like numbers nor do I trust them 

Dream Job: ideally, I wouldn’t work, I would just grow sunflowers and destroy oil pipelines. Realistically - a lawyer who helps develop solar arrays would be neat?

Wearing: my super 80′s beige courdouray (sp???????) pants and a red crop sweater. And another cardigan because my room is really cold

Favorite songs: I’ve been listening to a lot of sad indie lately, but my favourite songs would be: Ribs by Lorde, LEMONS by Cavetown and Brye, 21 by Gracie Adams, Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Swede (this song is perfectly in my range), and I Know the End by Phoebe Bridgers.

Favorite instrument: I took about 3 lessons on the violin when I was a kid. But I liked the idea more than the reality

Aesthetic: The other day I was walking past a Starbucks and girl working there catcalled me to say “I really like your aesthetic!!”. And so I shouted back, “THANKS what is it?”, and she took a good hard look at me and said, “dark schoolgirl” and I said “THANK YOU” and that’s how I met my wife. I wish. I should have gotten her number. 

Favorite author: right now, I’m reading Flights by Olga Tokarczuk because my Polish best friend/flatmate gave it to me and I’m really enjoying it

Favorite animal noise: my kitty at home, Louise, makes the cutest little ‘mrrrppp’ noise whenever she sees me and it’s perfect - the best noise ever made

Random: I thought I had COVID last night (I’m on quarantine after coming back from home for uni) because my heart was racing and I felt really hot and cold and sort of almost had a fever but it turns out I think I just had an anxiety attack and got my period at the same time

[lawyerd]

Hi! With first semester grades coming in, as a 1L, was there anything that you did differently after getting your grades back? Changing how you studied, prepared for class, etc.?

Hmm, well, to be quite honest, it took so long for my 1L professors to get our grades back to us that I don’t think those particularly impacted my study habits aha. My school has a weird calendar and a weirder grading system, so we have an extremely short winter break and are in classes about a month and a half before we finally got our 1L fall grades. 

But in general, yes, I did change a lot about my study habits from 1L fall to 1L spring. For one, I stopped writing case briefs. I know that’s like, a law school cardinal sin or whatever, but I basically only did them during 1L fall because everyone told me I should and wouldn’t you know, I did not at all use them to study for finals and in the end, they were just a giant waste of time for me. So I ditched them during the spring. I just highlight and annotate my books now. I’m sure that horrifies some people but look, my transcript ain’t complaining so you shouldn’t either. 

I made better friends during spring, so I started studying with them. That made a huge difference for me. For one, it’s motivating. Forces me to get into a room and go over the material. Group studying helps me figure out what I don’t know, fill those gaps, and correct me when I’m wrong and I don’t even know it. When my friends and I get together to group study, we mostly go over old practice exams and talk through the problems together.

I stopped doing unnecessary work. This came from some advice that I saw floating around Tumblr – a lawblr made the point that burning yourself out is equal to failing, so it’s better to be smart with your resources. Do what you feel you need to to get the grade you want. Don’t go above and beyond if you don’t have to. My criminal law professors announced that he didn’t cold call and instead had assigned “on” weeks. So I started skimming his readings during my “off” weeks and instead allocated more time to my exceptionally difficult and exceptionally Socratic method Con Law class.  Sometimes going above and beyond is good – it helped me in that Con Law class! But sometimes it’s just unnecessary – I received a High Honors in that Crim class anyway. I don’t think I really understood that during 1L Fall and just trying to do everything possible because that’s what I was taught to believe was the “proper” way to study. But sometimes, that’s just truly not necessary and learning when to recognize when it’s okay to slack is a huge law school skill. 

Lastly, the second semester, I typed my notes. First semester, each of my professors had outlawed laptops, so I handwrote everything. The second semester, my professors didn’t care, so I started bringing my laptop. This has had serious pros and cons for me - on one hand, I am very easily distracted and the internet is a very big distraction. I do think that on average, I pay less attention when I have my laptop with me. But on the other hand, when your notes are typed, it is so easy to turn them into an outline at the end of the term. It took me like a solid three weeks to outline during fall because I had to type and organize something like 60 pages of handwritten notes for each class. But with my typed notes, I just had to plug some gaps and copy and paste a few things for the sake of organization, so the outline process took around three days instead.
