To explain my worry at relaxation...

A lot of people have commented on my pro/anti-preparation thoughts. I should probably explain that I quit my job in early March (I was tired of doing a weekly trip to Munich), and have been more or less unemployed since. I'm making ends meet and should enter law school without excessive non-school-related debt, but I'm also beginning to get out of the 'wake up early, start work early' habit.

Which is a good part of why I'm trying to make myself prepare. When I'm doing freelance translation, this isn't hard--I'm generally working fairly early and doing a full day's work. But since the work is erratic, there can be some stretches where I'm not doing much, and doing 'summer reading' can make me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something more useful than watching Simpson's reruns.

You know, I think it's a good idea. I did some pre-reading for Torts and Property, and it helped immensely in just having a basic grounding in the subject. So, when everyone else was still puzzling out what exactly the four elements were or what exactly a fee simple absolute meant, I knew the terms and was able to get into the finer points. If you go about it with the intent of getting a basic understanding, you'll be fine. Just don't go crazy with the pre-reading.
