Well, it's Week 11 'round these parts which means that final exams are slowly but surely creeping up on me.
So, you know what that means --- I will be blahging more and more!
I have to say, I think I have officially reached that point in my law school career that I never saw reaching. And no, I'm not talking about graduation.
When you first start law school, you are feverishly working to get every case brief done - Facts, Issue, Analysis, Rule, blah, blah, blah. Any third year law student will tell you that that work ethic comes to a screeching halt at about your second year. Surprisingly, I held off until the end of my third year, but yes, I am definitely experiencing major senioritis.
At this point in the term, I have usually begun to create my stack of flash cards for each class and have put the finishing touches on each of my outlines. Typically by now, I've contacted our babysitter about all of the extra days that we will potentially need her so that Tom and I can sneak off to the library. My attention span in my classes is usually greater at this point in the term, as most of my professors have started to drop the, "Pay close attention to this case for the final exam," hints.
But now?
Oh no. No, no, no, no, no.
I'm doing fairly well in my Business Organizations class. I prepare each week, and actually have kept up with my outlining.
But Equity and Remedies? I zoned out in Week 1.
I don't even think I know where my textbook is.
When I come to class each week, I sit there and work on my other classes, or I get stuff done for my photography business.
Or I Facebook. Ssssshhhhhh.
I have not even attempted to outline for E & R, and I just found out -- literally a few minutes ago -- that there is no Emanuel study guide for this particular topic.
In other words, I'm screwed.
How did I get to this point? With one month left, I don't even know what Equity is.
And Remedies? Are we talking about the homeopathic kind? Because my mom teetered on being very into that kind of stuff, so I know a thing or two about how to cure a cough, or how to prevent the onslaught of a cold.
But if you're talking about remedies related to the law, then I don't know.
No.
Freakin'.
Clue.
Doing well on this exam is going to be a true testament to my level of intelligence. If I pull this one off, then I'll know for sure that I am a genius. ;)
