Welp, I'm afraid I botched my contracts test. I'll have to try to really do well on my others to compensate, but these things are notoriously tough to predict anyway, so maybe I did fine after all...

I have Torts tomorrow. I'm burned out. I have to finish going through my cases still -- maybe 20-30 to go out of over 100. I have a lot of good ideas, but I have to get them down. We're only allowed 3 sheets of paper. I have to get them done sometime tonight.

I can't wait until this is over. Just a couple more weeks.

I've disabled comments again because of the human scum spammers. I'll turn 'em back on after movabletype 3.0 comes out.

Well, it's time.

I have my final persuasive memo due tomorrow night, and my first exam on Friday. My last classes are tomorrow, and just a few review sessions between then and Friday's exam, which happens to be Contracts.

I have about 4 days to study for each, except for the last one, Criminal Law, for which I only have 2 days. Criminal Law is almost all "black letter" with this professor, and there's just not that much difficult material in general as compared to Contracts or Torts, etc., so I should be ok.

Wow. I'm going to be in shock for quite a while, simply because I can't believe a whole year of school has come and gone. I just have to prevent myself from thinking about anything other than law for the next few weeks, and make sure I keep up the intensity.

As an aside, I've been elected as the president of our IP Law Society here at George Mason. I have grand designs for our group, so it should be fun. :) I hear Larry Lessig is going to stop by our school next year, so we'll have to get together and argue... hehe.

Slept 3 hours, got up at 7:15, came to school and read at Starbucks for 1.5hrs. I have to get at least 6hrs sleep from now on, cause that last 3hrs I'm really not getting enough done. I am ready for class today though...

I have 2 weeks of school left before exams. Tonight my friend and I did a mini-practice test provided by our contracts professor, taking 2 hours rather than 1 because we're not yet up on everything. Writing his exams requires profuse citations to the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, the UCC, and cases.

I identified most of the issues, invented a few good ones out of almost thin air, and generally figured out that I have the right basis, but need to study a lot more, which is what I had thought anyway. It reminded me of the exam last semester, which is good... But unfortunately, I didn't have enough to say about a few of the questions. I have to figure that out....

I have birthdays and Easter and student group meetings coming up these 2 weeks too. Crazy. I'm going to sleep less and less. Maybe if I'm hard core, I can get all my studying and preparation done this week, and actually be well-prepared when the time comes...

I had to skip class yesterday to rewrite my memo for my moot court application. We have hundreds of pages of reading this week, and I'm behind now, but I have to just skim because I need to get my stuff together for exams.

Only two more weeks of class, then exams, and there's no reading period this time around. Tonight I have to do a set of interrogatories for 10am tomorrow. This weekend and next weekend are my last chances to get a ton of studying done before exams.

I have close to 100 cases I need to know for contracts, and probably more for Torts. I have about 80 Restatement and UCC sections I need to know for contracts, and probably the same number of rules and statutes for civil procedure. Criminal is all black letter, but I need to know the Model Penal Code, and there are only probably about 20 cases or so I need to know for civil procedure.

I have to outline everything, list all the cases and rules, and start covering them daily to get them into my head. I have to do this quickly so I have a couple of weeks to digest and think about things. I probably won't be able to do what I envision, but I'll try... Most of the exams are open book and we can bring our own notes, but that doesn't help much when you're pressed for time. I will probably do 3 out of 4 exams on my laptop this time, so I hope it goes ok. Never tried it on computer before. Hopefully it'll be easier, since I type like a fiend.
