Eat the Turkey, and Make Sure That the Turkey Doesn't Eat You!

 Sorry, just love this cartoon and had to send 

it your way again during the Thanksgiving Break

As this is a “shortened” week, I simply wanted to write a shortened blog note and wish all readers a very Happy Thanksgiving.

I’ve spoken to many law students who are not even returning home for the holiday but are “hunkering down” to start preparing for finals. . These are the students who are taking “the bird by the hand” and sense that the holiday would be a distraction from their chief goal – making sure they are ready for upcoming exams.

Going home. . staying to study . . either way. There is no one approach that  is better than the other. Law students need to just know that you are in the “homestretch” and it’s time to start the sprint!

In the “picture is worth a thousand words” category, I once again give you my favorite cartoon on preparation and proofreading, see above.

If you are a law student, take a break (a short one!) enjoy, and get back to the grind. 

Remember that law school is a challenge, but at the same time, remember all those who are not as fortunate as you. . Life may be tough at the moment, but always keep it in perspective.
