Finals Venting
Taking a breather from exam prep. Let me just say, I have never felt so damn apathetic about an exam in my life!! I think I've gone in reverse. I was such a perfectionist and worrier grades K-10. Then ASMS taught me how to chill out... grades that weren't "A"s didn't bring about the end of life as I knew it. I guess that seed grew over time because I was still pretty laid back in college.... and REALLY "zen" about things now. I always figured that if ever I went into "crazy girl overly obsessed about grades" mode, it would be law school... well... NOPE! I want to do well, don't get me wrong, but I guess I's not freaking like everyone else because I'm focused on what matters in the end --- passing the bar..... and not overly-freaking out about every single course grade up until that point. I should send thank-you notes to all the lawyers who told me to look at class finals as "practice quizzes" for the bar exam.... because it's made my life SOOOOO much less stressful -- and not only do I feel the inner difference, but I can see it when I look around at the faces of my classmates.
Ugh... I must have a BAD case of delayed spring fever because I've never had such a hard time focusing on studying. What makes it so hard is that for the past 2 weeks or so, I've had the attention span of a gnat and it's only gotten worse.
My first exam is tomorrow morning - 8:30 am, to be exact, and Torts no less. I am just SO ready to get the damn thing done and over with. SOOOO many different topics and each with many different versions of a general rule. HATE IT ! I hate that I'm hating torts because I was really into it up until the past month. Goes to show... a boring professor who conducts a boring class can totally kill any good feelings you have about a topic.
I hate studying and at this point, I just can NOT wait to get these 2 exams over and done with (hopefully to a satisfactory degree) !!! I'm soooo ready for the weekend -- Thursday is packing day, Friday and Saturday are reserved for some goodbye-partying, then it's the long road home on Sunday. I can't wait !!!!
**ugh** I am TOTALLY not liking the fact that "negligence per se", products liability, comparative fault, contributory negligence, Res Ipsa Loquitur, and the many levels of "duty vs. no duty" rules even EXIST at the moment !!!
Well I can tell I've hit that end of the 1st year mark.....since I've been wondering daily what in the hell ever possessed me to think law school was a swell idea?!?
Anyways, my next batch of coffee is done, so I guess it's back to cram-time. My GOD how I am living for 12:30pm Thursday!!!
