i honestly have never really edited. during highschool i wouldn't even re-read my writing to see if i had managed to string together coherent sentences. in undergrad i pathetically attempted editing. by this i mean i would re-read my papers to see if i had those green & red squiggle lines, and possibly i would check to see if my paragraphs were in the right order.
law schools is an entirely different ball game. i went to see a tutor, i printed, re printed, re printed - killed trees left and right in the process - my draft countless times. triple checked citations, and sentence structure. i did all of this to the point where i have entirely forgotten what i wrote about.
so i guess its not that much different from undergrad?
my brain is entirely mush right now - much like my vegan split pea soup, with added chili flakes & paprika. working upwards of 12 hours a day is very draining.
i think i am picking up the material, but then i attend a TA session and i have NO IDEA what is going on. everyone is in a flurry about finals, and our first one isn't until december 7th. our one professor - my favorite - for contracts is very particular about his exams. you have to cite specific case names, courts & citation numbers. all of this in a three hour span, while spewing out some sort of legible and persuasive argument.
my gosh.
gotta go watch some glee
