ep75: Halfway Through my 1L First Semester

I discuss the changes I made from the first to the second semester of my 1L year. I did better academically in the second semester whew. I also take some liberty with slight digressions in this episode.

I have finally emerged from the darkness of my 1L year to record a podcast episode! It's been a long time. In this episode, I recap the remainder of the first semester of my 1L year and share my experience living in New York. I'll recap the second semester of my 1L year in the next episode. Stay tuned!

I'm at the halfway point of my first semester of my 1L year! I take a quick break from my studies to share my experience with student orgs, my first midterm, the mental game that is law school, and other live rambling thoughts about law school.  

I recap my first two weeks of law school, discussing happy hours, benefits of being older, and my first concluded law school class. 

I share my hectic month in preparing for my move to New York and my orientation at law school. I talk about spending thousands of dollars on moving, rats in New York, and to inspirations from law school orientation!

Roe v Wade was overturned and Twitter blew up with mutually exclusive pro-choice and pro-life reactions. My reaction didn't neatly fall into either camp. I'm also taking a Python machine learning course on Udemy and have completed the Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, and K Nearest Neighbors modules. I'm amazed at how accessible it is for us to gain this ability to become modern day prophets. My life has also included more in-person meetings and apartment hunting in New York. ------------------------------------------------ Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world. A third culture kid is someone who grew up in a country that's different from the one his parents were raised in. I grew up in Brazil, was raised in a Korean household, and was educated in an American school - all at once.

Overtime gets a bad rap - I worked overtime this past week but I was both tired and invigorated by it. But I do worry that too much of it would get me to neglect other parts of my identity. I also share the basic logic I use in my automated trading program that has made me a measly $15 realized gains so far and recap the NBA Finals that concluded this past Wednesday.  ------------------------------------------------ Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.

I ramble about my preparation to attend law school like looking for off-campus housing, about Game 4 of the NBA Finals where Curry erupted for 43 points, and Netflix shows I've been watching like Change days where 4 Korean couples get to date the other couple's counterparts. ------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.

In this episode, I share about three things I learned over the past week. I researched the gun control bill H.R. 8 and share why it would not have been effective in the four shootings I read about in the media. I talk about exposure therapy, a cognitive behavioral therapy strategy to manage phobias I read about from this online free book. And, lastly, I share my thoughts on Python libraries I experimented with, including seaborn for data visualization and the Robinhood API to automate your trading. ----------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.

Politeness to others can be a disservice to yourself. Virtue isn't priced in the market. People are overreacting to Elon Musk buying Twitter. How I try to deal with negative self-talk. These are the themes I ramble on about in this podcast episode. ----------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.
