Cloverfield Review

Well, I saw the movie Cloverfield on Saturday. It was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. It was pretty violent, and more of a run and jump movie than a monster movie. You barely ever really get to see the monster. It's mostly just a repition of, "Oh no! There's the monster, run!" I did enjoy the organic feel of the camcorder thing. That made it more realistic, ' but the story and everything else really weren't the greatest. I won't be adding this movie to my collection, that is for sure.

Passageways to the Law Conference at the University of Utah

Well, yesterday, was a great day. I had the opportunity to go to the University of Utah to take a tour of their law school and I really liked it. The building is very quaint and the class sizes are small. The first year class only has 25 people in it, so it allows the group to get to know each other well and create an extended family feel to law school.

We had a mock law school class with professor Bill Richards. We had a great time debating a mock case that he had created.

The panel discussion was particularly helpful. It showed me how Law School is a stretching Experience in that you have a complete paradigm shift. The biggest suggestion that was put forth by the panel was to prepare for law school by becoming a better reader. That is to say in speed, comprehension, analysis, and internalization of concepts.

I felt so strongly that this is the right thing for me to do. I need to put forward my best effort right now--particularly in my LSAT prep, so that I can attend a good school such as BYU or the U. That desire is deep in me and now I must foster it.

Intro.

Well, I am new to blogging, but want to get started, since I feel that it is part of my duty to inform others on the web what I know and believe to be true, my flaws and failings, and also my successes. Hopefully, we can enter a great dialogue online and learn mutually from others out there tuning into my blog.

Sincerely,
