| What do you put in your outlines? Do you include charts or other material you didn’t create? During my first semester, I did it all myself and then came in to watch classmates open huge, detailed outlines with charts and stuff that obviously came from an outside source. I sort of thought that wasn’t allowed, but maybe I’m wrong. What do you all do? Where do you find the info that goes into your outline, besides just your own notes, case briefs and recollections? When it’s every classmate for his/herself, how do you compete against someone who chooses to use the best sources he/she can find?? How do you know that what is in your personally created outline is fully accurate and complete?

Now that I’ve made my “Nice Girl” list, I need to add one more. Ugh. Yesterday I had to spend a few hours with some people from work. I totally talked. And talked. And TALKED. Why do I feel this need to fill in awkward silence? Why do I have to share so much? I am definitely have a post-social-event hangover today (regret, not liquor). This is why I’d rather stay home with my books. I do okay when I’m in a group of my peers, but I get all weird when I’m around the “popular crowd.”
Anyone else do this? I raise it because I bet if you do, it will be a stumbling block as an attorney. I don’t know about you, but I do fine when I’m at a group event speaking about what I do or what I know. It’s when I have to talk about social stuff that I fall flat on my face. How do you combat this? How do you mentally kick the little girk (girl/dork) inside who feels the need to babble when she feels uncomfortable?
