Big Dreams begin with Small Steps

I haven't written in a while because I've been extremely busy with quite a few big tasks in my law school career.
For one, I competed in the Herzog Moot Court competition two weeks ago and I was fortunate enough to advance quite a few times. There were 182 participants in the competition and I came in 6th place in the entire competition. I was extremely honored and proud to have the honor of competing and even more overwhelmed and humbled by the fact that I advanced to the Octofinals round. I now have the opportunity to be a TA for the Moot Court Competition and Legal Writing course and I am seriously considering taking up a position as a TA next semester.
Also, I started a new job working for a firm here in Chicago. I started two weeks ago and I've been really busy helping them move their law office to a new building. I was extremely honored and humbled to be chosen for the position and I really like the work I have been doing thus far. I think working at this law firm will be a great opportunity to hone my practical skills in a real world legal environment.
I'm still writing for Social Media Law Student and I just posted a new blog article yesterday on Digital Content after Death. The article was inspired by the recent passing of a dear friend. Esther lost her battle with cancer this July, she was 22 years old and one of the most beautiful and kind people I've ever known. She will be greatly missed. You can read my article on digital content post mortem here.
Finally, I'm in full fledged finals mode getting ready for the last month of classes. I only have four weeks of classes left until reading period so my time has been structured around finals and avoiding Swine Flu.
I wanted to post quickly a sample of a flow chart I made for my Evidence class to show my readers what I meant when I said I was a "visual learner". Here is a sample of a chart I would use to study. (This chart was adapted from a flow chart my Evidence professor handed out in class. Here is a link to his blog.) Click on the image for full resolution.

I used OmniGraffle to make this chart. As you can see, this is just one chapter of my Evidence class, but I plan to make a large chart like this for all my classes integrating all the chapters. (Think of it as a visual outline.) I've already completed the outline for Evidence and half of the chart for my Trademark and Copyright class. As you can see, they are color coded for easy understanding and fit together like a puzzle. I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you have any questions please let me know.
