It was a non-eventful Thanksgiving
I was fortunate enough to have a few “Friendsgiving” offers, but I spent the break tied to my computer so I could finish prepping for finals.
They warned us during orientation that the LL.M. program goes really quick — and they were right. My externship and classes have already ended and finals start Tuesday.
Where the heck did the semester go? The past few months in Washington D.C. have been eventful and quite the change from Dallas.

A less stressful finals season
Unlike my J.D. program, I don’t feel stressed about my LL.M. finals after my Thanksgiving studyfest.
I think my attitude has something to do with taking the bar — if I could pass the Texas bar while working full time, then LL.M. finals can’t be that bad, right?
Maybe I don’t know what I’m getting into.
The work also doesn’t stop after finals — I have several tax articles to finish this month and got talked into taking a week-long class in the beginning of January. After that, my next (and last) semester starts.
Let’s hope I survive finals and that next semester is as much fun as this one has been. 📚
