Prepping for law school

It's summer! The summer before the big year; the calm before the storm. I've been doing some extensive, albeit informal, research on how I can most effectively use this summer to be in top shape before law school starts. Here are some sound, along with some crazy, advice that I've received thus far:

- "Go on vacation. You'll be asking why you didn't during those long nights"
- "Practice sleeping early"
- "Buy used 1L books and preview by reading EVERYTHING before school starts."
- "Start working out"
- "There's no way you can prep for law school, so just relax and enjoy"
- "Get some legal exposure; work as a para-legal or law clerk"
- "Date as many people as you can"
- "Don't get into a relationship!"
- "Learn to cook"
- "Take a Great Books course; you'll never have time to read real books again"
- "Go on a road-trip"
- "Don't waste time learning how to cook; you won't have time anyways"
- "Put on some pounds....studying makes you lose weight"
- "Make money"

This'll be an interesting summer. Of all the above, I want to go on a road trip (from sea to shining sea) and maybe even go backpacking in Africa or Southeast Asia. But it's very likely that I'll be stuck making money. Maybe I'll go on a brief excursion to Jamaica! My friends there have been begging me to come for some time now.
