C is for Confidence

Well, we’re officially in the middle of all the insanity. We’re learning that there are certain people this time of year that you can’t talk to for more than five minutes without starting to go a little crazy yourself. Luckily for us, a friend invited us to study in a classroom she had reserved along with a few others (thanks L). That turned out to be the best thing we could’ve done. We were able to hide away from the craziness, kick ideas around, and ask questions about the statute of frauds without getting into a heated three hour debate.

We finished up studying last and got to bed by 10:00. I woke up this morning feeling confident of two things: I had a good grasp on Contracts, and that knowledge would earn me a C. My professor pretty much told us in the review session that everyone was going to get a C. The problem is that he doesn’t really like to give Ds or Fs. Well, because of the curve, every grade above a C has to be balanced by a grade lower than a C. Last year, I believe there were three As in a class of around 60-70 students. Well, at least I shouldn’t have to worry about failing.

My final was entirely essay and consisted of two questions that were a little over a page each and one question that was about a paragraph long. I felt like I did a pretty good job on the final, which probably just means that I missed a lot of issues raised in those questions. In other words, I left confident of two things: I had a good grasp of contracts and that knowledge is going to earn me a C. Isn’t law school fun?

So, we have one final down, four to go. Next up is Property on Friday but for right now, it’s time to kick back and watch The People’s Court before focusing on Property.
