Our first exam is less than 36 hours away. Yikes. You may be asking me why I’m posting instead of studying. Well, I’m just tired of studying. There’s only so many ways one can study an outline. Next I’m going to try reading it on one leg and barking like a dog, no a really big dog. That might help.
Our last day of class was today. I had two classes and his had 1. My two classes were property and contracts. Let me tell you how useful those two hours of my life were.
Our property professor spent 15 minutes out of our only 50 minutes of review telling us how to eat a proper breakfast and get plenty of sleep. Got that, thanks, move on. Well he did. He tried so hard to pump us up but he fell a little short. In general it’s a good thing to tell people that they could do really well on your test and a bad thing to tell them that you’ve had a reputation at all your schools of being a very demanding grader. Don’t further patronize us by telling us that the test could even be “enjoyable”. I’m sure that’s what they told surgical patients right before they took a shot of whiskey and bit down.
And on to Contracts. Today was performance art day. Our professor gave extra credit out to people who reenacted a case. The reenactments were great and you could tell they had put a lot of time into it. These worried me greatly. How do these people have free time to plan out a skit or write a poem. What do they know that I don’t know. Should I be writing my contract outline in poetry. This is just a little of the self-destructive logic that goes through a law students mind right before finals.
Because everything is graded on a curve you get a little paranoid about who might know more than you and how much everybody else is studying and how they’re studying. You can see the tension and the stress on everyone’s face when you pass them in the halls. Students line up in an eager anticipation, that is only duplicated by black Friday, in hopes of landing one of the few study rooms in the library. Otherwise you’re stuck out in the open looking at the despair and stress on everybody else’s face.
This post isn’t to worry any of you that His and I are about to crack. We do our work, get to bed at a reasonable hour and eat a good breakfast. I should be half way to acing my property final. Rather this post is just a thinly veiled attempt to get all of you to wish us good luck in our Comments.

GOOD LUCK :o)

Good Luck My little Law Students!! I am chearing for you in the middle of the country can you hear me?!!
Good luck! Just remember, if you lose your mind you can always sue the school. Of course, they could counter and say that you willingly subjected yourself to the stress and are partially, if not 100% liable for losing your mind, but we won't go there until you pass your finals and graduate. :o)
You can do it! You can do it! You can do it! :)
It goes without saying that we hope that both of you do your very best on the tests - even your second best is better than most everyone else's best.
Oh and also, don't forget to eat a good breakfast and get plenty of rest. You would expect me to say that. I am so predictable
