Taking breaks is also being productive

Studying constantly only leads to burnout. Go take a walk. Feed some ducks. Admire a pretty building. Try to cook something new.

You might feel guilty at first, but nothing in excess is ever good, not even studying.

I have the next 2 weeks off and I have tons of studying to do. It's difficult to manage a full time job and studying together, so I have to make use of this vacation.

I will be starting with CPC and will try to post here everyday to keep a track and be accountable to myself.

Also need to start preparing for the next semester. I will be teaching Law of Torts and Consumer Protection, and Legal English to the first year students. Excited for the upcoming semester but stressed about an upcoming exam for which I am not prepared at all.

After law school…AA4. None of the other games come even close.

Klavier is 100% the best prosecutor in the series, solely because he comes the closest to how real life prosecutors are (I promise you, they’re not evil villains trying to improve their conviction record). Ema Skye is the best detective because of how jaded she is, which feels appropriate because that’s how most people feel once they start working in criminal law (source: me, who has actually worked on criminal cases).

Also, I feel a lot closer to Apollo Justice than I did to Phoenix Wright. No offense to Phoenix, but I like how AA4 really honed in on how frustrated Apollo feels with the justice system. Like when Phoenix revealed he used falsified evidence, that felt…I don’t want to say true to life, but I like the ethical dilemma there. I mean, in law school, there’s a whole SUBJECT dedicated to ethics, so I appreciate AA4’s willingness to discuss this topic.

Also also, a JURY SYSTEM. Holy shit, an actual jury system! And Phoenix got disbarred for using falsified evidence! Actual consequences from the state bar! And the main case was concerning a will/inheritances!

I SWEAR MY BRAIN JUST EXPLODED AND THEN REASSEMBLED ITSELF INTO PURE CHAOS WITH PERFECTLY COLOR-CODED LINES CONNECTING EVERYTHING. I AM NOW A LEGAL, BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL STUDY GOD.

I’M GONNA STUDY 27 HOURS A DAY. 8 DAYS A WEEK. SLEEP IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T SEEN THESE MIND MAPS. I’M MAKING FLASHCARDS FOR MY FLASHCARDS.

EVERY NOTE IS A SHOT OF ADRENALINE STRAIGHT INTO MY EYEBALLS. EVERY LINK IS A REVELATION. I CAN SEE THE UNIVERSE IN BULLET POINTS.

Went to the prettiest Apple Store to pick up my new computer!! + outdoor study hoping the sunshine will restore my will to live
