I have no idea if this will work for anyone, but how about meeting up saturday afternoon for a cozy christmassy hot chocolate?
Meanwhile, life goes on. I've just about reached that point where I can't study anymore, but I'm coaxing myself through with long breaks. (I started watching Big Love, the HBO series about a polygamous family. It's actually pretty good. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get past my feelings on polygamy, but the writing's so good you can love the characters while hating their lifestyle)
I only have one more exam, property, on monday. I feel like I know it pretty well, but the proff is notoriously crazy about his exams. I left the midterm thinking I'd aced it, but I'd failed. See, the biggest problem here is that it's not about what you know so much as how you present it. You have to write things "like a lawyer". After 2 arts degrees I was very surprised when Professor Townsend said to me "You're obviously a smart girl, you just need to learn to write."! Nabil taught me a formula for legal writing, which is annoying as hell, but I've been using it. The only problem is because of various reasons the three assignments I've used this formula on haven't been returned to us, so I don't really know for sure if it's working. I guess we'll find out soon!
This whole semester is only worth 20% of our final grade, thank God.
