It's not something that only airlines do. Between intramurals, clubs, schoolwork, social life, and other obligations, I feel wayyyyy overbooked. There's a lot of things I want to do so I'm going to be bummed if I'm going to have to eliminate some of them. Here's how my week looks...
Today- free after 7pm
Tuesday- in law school from 9 am until 5pm, softball in the evening until 8ish
Wednesday- in law school from 9 am until 5pm, meeting at 5:15pm, another intramural in the evening from 9pm until 11 or so.
Thursday- in school from 12 until 5. Meeting at 4:30 that I'm going to be late to (a training session) and then an intramural event until 8ish again. Bar review at 10pm. Thank god Torts is canceled in the morning.
Friday- In school from 12 until 5. Training session from 5 until 9pm.
Saturday- training session from 9 am until 1pm. tournament from 1pm until 4pm.
Also, there's homework and whatnot to worry about.
Still, I think overbooking is good. My advice to any future 1L's is to sign up for every single thing that interests you and maybe even some things you're not sure about. If you have the slightest interest in it, give it a try. There's no obligation (I sound like a TV ad) and you might find that something you thought you'd be really into really isn't as good as you thought and something you thought wouldn't be that great is in fact, fantastic. Get of your comfort zone and try as many things as possible. You can always politely remove yourself later.
Clubs that are mainly about inviting guest speakers are particularly good because your lunch hour is usually free (unless you have meetings) and there's free lunch. No work for you + free food = awesome.
Enjoying your tweets. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteYou'll probably find that you want balance sometime soon but good job keeping your social life!
ReplyDeleteI expect to pare down the clubs I'm in as the year goes on and as I find out which clubs are fun/interesting/worthwhile and which ones are not. There's no way I'll have a social life after classes REALLY pick up and clubs start having more than general info/training sessions.
