Calm Before The Storm
Well Friday just went by, and finals start next week. I should have studied today but I think it was better to take the day off from any studying since I was going to be hitting the books extra hard for the next six days. As you all know, I need to get good grades so I can even have chance to getting into a 1st tier law school, not just that I don’t want my admission decision to be riding on just my LSAT score.
Another thing, I'm kind of disappointed about my presentation on Thursday, well everything went great. The PowerPoint slides were great, the outline was perfect, but as soon as I went in front of the classes I got a little nervous. I went up there, introduce myself and my group, I started the intro but as it went on I started to say humm and aahm and ummm a so on. Like if I didn’t know what I was talking about, I did the research and I knew my stuff. It didn't turn out like I planned. What I'm more disappointed about is that I'm an inspiring lawyer, and this is unacceptable. Maybe If I would have just written it all down on my PDA and then just read it off or maybe if I would have just memorized it. I don't know. Well I know what I have to work on now, my public speaking skills...well I better hit the sack.

Don't worry about oral argument.
Unless you want to go into litigation, most likely you don't go to courtrooom often.
Another thing - they'll make you do appellate brief (oral argument) in the Spring Semester of 1L, so you'll get good practice. Or, you can join Moot Court (competitions)...
