Contorts blathering
Aw man, I'm not going to do so well on my Contracts final on Friday! This stuff is dense. I don't think I can learn it all in one day. Because I didn't study at all today after I got out of today's exam. I just ate cereal, listened to Leonard Cohen, and wondered if I could obtain the sharpest guy in the class's Contracts outline. Somehow eight hours have gone by this way. On the other hand, last quarter, I studied for Contracts only the day before and did best on that exam out of all my midterms, so maybe I can pull that off again.
I was up until 3 this morning studying for Torts, so why not do it tonight too! I can spend all night with the Uniform Commercial Code, conditions precedent, and O&A. And deal formation. Oh god, deal formation.
The parol evidence rule, isn't.
The mailbox rule: Step 1. Cut a hole in a box. Step 2. Put your acceptance in that box. Step 3. Make the offeror open the box.
I think I did okay on Torts (today) and Civ Pro (Monday). Our Civ Pro question (the one that wasn't about discovery and notice pleading) was about The Devil Wears Prada, and brought up stuff the prof didn't get to in class, though apparently he thought he was going to, back when he wrote this question. I'm hoping this means a freebie point for everybody. Torts was a hypo involving about nine different possible intentional torts claims and a dead dude, and another hypo that was about informed consent and products liability. I did not outline products liability. Fortunately, it was the only topic all quarter for which I actually took really good notes on the computer (the prof gives awesome handouts each period that tend to substitute for note-taking), so I used those and was like "uhh... design defect... failure to warn... learned intermediary doctrine... Restatement Second section 492... and stuff."
Then I went to the second-floor computer lab to print the exam out at about 3:57 (exam ended at 4:00, we get 5 minutes to hand it in after that), and the printer was jammed, with some guy trying to fix it who told me "yeah, use the library printer." Sure. Go down three floors to the printer in the library, print out my document, and then come back up four floors to the office where we had to turn the exam in, within the next seven minutes. Right, dude. I nearly had a heart attack, and ended up having to turn in my thumb drive - an acceptable format, but suboptimal since apparently they don't give them back to you. It's only 128MB, but god damn it, why did I forget entirely about packing a blank CD in case this happened?! (Not that I know how to burn data CDs on the MacBook anyway.)
Now I'm having nightmares that the file is corrupted and they won't be able to open it, and wondering if I printed out all the pages of my Civ Pro exam, useless anxiety like that. When what I should be worrying about is the Statute of Frauds and implied warranties of merchantability.
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be transactional lawyers.
I've had a job for two days and already I'm all "hurr I gotta start reading Wonkette does Jennifer 8. Lee still live in D.C. wow Craigslist apartment listings OMG." D.C. Jesus.
