As of about 8:45 this morning, I am officially done writing legal briefs this semester. After a late night last night making sure everything was order, I printed one final case this morning and turned the whole thing. I never thought law school would be so physically demanding, but I've discovered that writing a legal brief can be back breaking work. And my reward for a job . . . well, a job done anyway? A two-hour Con Law class in perhaps the most miserable classroom at Albany Law: the Dean Alexander Moot Court Room, or DAMC (where, incidentally, I'll be spending at least eight hours every week next semester).
My usual post-brief afterglow is tempered by my exhaustion, but it should be at least a couple of days before I start wondering just how bad of a brief I turned in. By that time, I should be starting to study for finals, so I won't have a lot of time to dwell on the brief.
With the brief behind me, I have just two more Intro to Lawyering classes left before presenting an oral argument a week from Friday. Lawyering, although in theory the most practical first year course, is the bane of every 1Ls existence and I can't wait to have it behind me. From there it's just four finals and then I'm off to the other side of the world!
Unfortunately, Hers is still working diligently on her brief, which isn't due until the 18th. Friday we get to register for classes next year and soon as we're done with out, we're off to the airport to catch our flight to Texas. If we can just survive the next five weeks without completely failing out of law school, I'll be thankful.

I'm exhausted just reading your blog! I don't know how you two do it. I feel like such a slacker, working my 4 hours, 5 days a week at Barnes & Noble (which, I love, btw).
Have fun in Texas!
