Let The Fun Begin

It seems as if we're officially entering the finals period. My first indication was in Torts, where Professor Stevenson reminded us that we only have four weeks left before finals (actually, it's five, but she thought four would sound better to us; it did not). That was only the beginning. Today, Professor Taranto gave us a peptalk about plowing through this difficult time. Then I saw Dean Mayer, who I have Civil Procedure, in the hallway and she remarked how this time of year she can see the 1Ls' eyes glaze over with information overload. She's right too. I'm not sure how I'm going to hold everything I've learned this semester in my head and apply it to a test.

It doesn't help that I'm a bit behind in my outlines (which is to day I have Property and Civ Pro started, but not Contracts or Torts). I've attempted starting a Torts outlines several times, but I'm just having a hard time structuring it. Contracts I fear. Of all my classes, Contracts seems the most ambiguous. We read a case that lays out one set of facts and concludes there was no consideration and thus no contract, then we read another case with a very similar fact pattern and the court finds there was consideration and thus a contract. Ugh!

So the craziness has begun. We took last weekend completely off and didn't even look at a case book. I felt a little guilty Sunday night, but I woke up so refreshed Monday that it was completely worth it. Unfortunately, that feeling didn't last two long.

I have no idea what we're going to do after finals. It'll seem so weird to have a week with absolutely nothing to do.
