Well, as of 10:15 PM last night, my first semester of law school was done for better or worse. Now the wait for grades begins. Will he be allowed to take a second semester, or will he have his law school career tragically cut short by abysmal performances on the all or nothing finals? Stay tuned. Same Bat Channel. Same Bat Tim...er...whenever.
I have two words to say: KNOB CREEK.
Nine year old small batch bourbon in your backpack makes one very popular after an exam. Just sayin'
I never thought four hours would seem like too SHORT of a time for a final exam, but I and several others discovered that time is of no importance until it involves a law school final. I actually ran out of time on the Torts final and finished the criminal law final with only 15 minutes to spare. It felt more like 40 minutes instead of four hours it went by so fast.
Of the three classes they allowed us part timers to take, I feel the best about last night's final even though it was criminal law in which I have zero personal experience. As I told some of my class mates, I won't loose any points for not trying. I answered all the questions and made what I thought were solid efforts on both essay questions (one of which involved a jury instruction exercise for which I was out of town when it was covered in class).
The Torts final...well...who knew an open book, open outline test could be SO FRICKIN' hard? I answered all of the multiple choice questions and feel like I did fairly well there. I answered all but one of the nine short answer questions (the one I didn't answer should have been a full blown essay question). Unfortunately, I ran out of time during the dreaded essay question. It had a ton of issues to address, and I had spent way too much time in the short answer and MPC sections to cover it all. I had roughed in an outline, but I know I'm not getting full credit on that section.
c'est la vie
I really don't want to talk about my legal analysis, research and writing class.
In other news, the thing which I'm not discussing in detail yet should come to a final resolution sometime middle to late next week. I think. Gory details to follow when they become available.
waiting patiently for the gorey details...until then, don't be so hard on yourself! we all know that you worked hard, studied hard and did well on your exams. don't sweat it buddy!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,

kymber, thanks for the encouragement. I'm not being hard on myself...just realistic. I did put in a lot of hours, but I made some boneheaded mistakes too. At the end of the day, the results will speak for themselves.
ReplyDeleteCrossed fingers. I remember exams and how stressful the whole process can be. Knob Creek can make lots of things better.
ReplyDelete45er, thanks. I can't think of anything that Knob Creek makes worse.
