Finals are finally over!

<<< Time for a marathon Updates to the website >>>

May 15, 2009:

In an effort to journal more in my blog, I thought I'd do an update.

Sorry, I have still not taken photos of my scooter, but I will soon.

The last few weeks have been pretty crazy because of finals.  As usual, I did not keep up with everything during the semester so I had to basically learn all the material in the 2 weeks leading up to the test. 

I spent a LOT of time studying for my Contracts exam.  Contracts was the subject that I didn't feel real great about, so I spent a lot more time studying it.  Come the day of the Contracts test, I found the test difficult, but I didn't feel like I did poorly.  My expectation is that I got a B or B+.

After my Contracts test, I spent a lot of time studying for Property.  In fact I took off two days of work and studied nearly non-stop through those four days through the weekend.  I did not feel I did well.  It was a 3 hour test and I finished in just over 2 hours because I ran out of things to say.  My answer to the second essay was very short, and I had to go back and change 5 of the 40-something multiple choice answers.  It's just one of those tests that is worded confusingly.  On top of that, I neglected to take my ADD meds that morning so my head was a little cloudy anyway.

In any case, I don't think these grades are going to push me up to the top 50% of the class I need to write-on to the International Law Journal.  I still haven't completely decided on whether to go with Journal or Advocates, but if I can't make the cut for the International Law Journal, that's definitely a stronger case for joining Advocates.
