Plan for this Semester

By Neil

I know many of you are getting tired of seeing new blog posts but no new content.

I understand. It’s killing me that I haven’t had the opportunity to add much to the site in some time.

Unfortunately, I see now that my 18 credit hour schedule is not going to be as friendly as I had initially thought. The internships are taking up a significant amount of time, and the reading for three of my classes is much longer (and in one case, much more technical), than I’ve previously had. I’m not complaining by any measure, but more time is being taken up than I expected.

And let’s not forget that I’m still married, and I need to be spending some time with my wife. (I made a sacred vow to her, not to this site :).)

What does all of this mean for LoaLS?

It means that updates this semester are going to be sporadic at best. My substantive classes have to get first priority (which paid off with 3 A+’s, 2 A’s and a Moot Court championship last semester). I also need to ensure that I’m spending time with my wife.

So is LoaLS dead?

Not at all. I’ll put up what I can this semester and over the summer. Next year I will only have to take 12 credit hours each semester (although 1 hour of that may be Moot Court board). That will help me clear out the backlog and potentially start bringing in new content from other sources. Additionally, I hope that my grades and resume will enable me to get a job nailed down by early in the fall, so I don’t have to spend a significant number of hours job-hunting.

So sorry if things go / remain silent. The silence won’t last forever :).
