How to Successfully Lose Half Your Readers (and Gain 10 Pounds)
Good evening folks! 
With the first summer session here at NCCU Law getting underway tomorrow, today got spent tying up loose ends before the back-to-school grind resumes. And in the process I re-discovered some of the effects of final exam season: over the last 3 weeks of my 2L Spring semester, we lost about half of our regular readers as law:/dev/null has gone un-updated… and I managed to pack on another 10lbs around my waistline.1 
So while all the cool kids make New Year’s Resolutions about getting in shape and other worthwhile endeavors, in honor of my procrastinating tendencies I’m making those resolutions 5 months late instead: effective today I’m improving my diet, exercising more, and finally posting an update to the blog 
My predecessor Preston Mitchum and I transitioned over the NCCU Law SBA this month
Here’s a quick rundown of where I’ve been the past few weeks:
- I finally became a 3L…
- …then un-became a 3L, as my Scientific Evidence professor unexpectedly gave the entire class 3 days to turn in an extra assignment — and I proceeded to sequester myself in my apartment like a hermit until it was finished
- Re-became a 3L again, for real this time
- Took over as President of our Student Bar Association
- Amped up my work schedule at I-Cubed to 40hrs a week… right before realizing I probably can’t continue at that pace when summer school starts ::headdesk::
- Watched the Class of 2011 graduate
- Watched the law school end up in a minor scandal after graduation
- Tallied up the private $$$ the SBA raised last year — an all-time record in law school history — and how much the 2011-12 SBA has raised in the past few weeks2
- Penned my 2nd guest column for the Beyond Hearsay blog (publication date TBD)
- Spent $350 on books for summer school
- Spent hours reading ~150 pages for tomorrow’s first day of class
- Finally got around to updating law:/dev/null, including tweaking our About page to reflect my now-3L status
That’s the rundown. Nothing particularly exciting… which makes me wonder how exactly time has flown by so fast 
I’d be lying to you if I said I expected to resume regular blog updates, simply because my summer school schedule leans toward the crazy side this year (10 credit hours total) when it’s coupled with my internship. But my hope is I’ll work my way into a routine and can get back to posting somewhat regular content.
That’s it from me for tonight, I’m off to bed so I can get up for work + class tomorrow. Have a great night everybody!

- A +32% year-over-year increase, positioning us to beat last year’s record [↩]
