During my first visit to UH, there was a Q&A session with a couple of professors.  Students would of course ask, “What can we do over the summer to prepare for law school?”  One of the professors said to just start reading, not anything serious, but enjoyable stuff, just to get you back in the mode of reading.  The other professor said to go on vacation.  He suggested a summer in Europe.  I couldn’t do the whole summer but I’m leaving for London (with an overnight visit to Paris) today.  My trip will only be 10 days, but I’m following it up with a road trip to Dallas for Quakecon and then moving to Houston.  I’m done working.  Law school is the only thing in my future.

The professor just said Europe to encourage people to relax before going to school.  He said vacation helped people get ready to sit and get down to business.  They insisted they were teachers and even with all the nightmare stories, they would actually teach us what we needed to know, so preparing in the summer wasn’t needed.
