Let the Bar/Bri fun begin!

What's everyone's impression of their Bar Review courses so far? At Boalt, we've got three classes offered: two California Bar/Bri classes (one in the morning and one in the evening) and one NY Bar/Bri class (in the evening). The morning CA Bar/Bri class is in the freezing cold and overcrowded Booth Auditorium. Granted it's only day two (our first day of substantive material), but it seems to be moving at a fairly slow and manageable pace.

I'd like to open this thread up to a discussion. What are everyone's general impressions? Do any alums have tips for bar studying? How should we be studying in our free time? Is it advisable to summarize notes from the day's lectures? Saving an entire half-row of seats for friends who don't arrive until a minute before class starts: acceptable?
