Exams were terrible

Environmental Law
Have you ever had one of those nightmares where you get to the test and realize you didn't study? Well this happened to me in real life. I did study, but it sure didn't feel like it.

Constitutional Law
I started to read this exam and my mind just blanked. This has never happened to me before. Part of the problem was that the hypothetical the prof gave us basically required us to make a song describing the entire constitution in our own words with out using any adverbs. Or something like that.

Evidence
I'm mildly in love with this professor, and I spend a lot of time making hearsay objections while I watch real trials on Court TV, so this exam didn't go as badly as the others. Then again, I have a terrible sense of performance. And the judge on Court TV always overrules my objections. Bastard.

European Union Law
This was the icing on the cake. I believed this exam was scheduled for Tuesday morning. But Sunday night I started having strange feelings. I decided to check the exam schedule just in case. Surprise! It was to take place on Monday morning at 8:30. I studied for about five hours total. On the exam, I'm fairly sure I recommended the IRA propose an amendment to the Lisbon Treaty.

I am bound for success. Big Law, call me.

I used to be C's Get Degrees, but I've rebranded under this name.

When I took Con Law, there was a midterm that was 20 percent of the final grade. I scored in the top 10 percent and I was shocked! But I feigned humility when I walked into the professor's office to ask for feedback on my exam. He said, "why worry, you finished in the top ten percent. This is excellent!"

So I rested on my laurels. When it came time for the final exam, I felt as though I knocked it out of the park, but final grade: C-. The curve finally caught up to me. Definitely not Biglaw material! Midlaw? Didn't know anyone who was hiring and it was tough to compete with the laid off Biglaw associates. Small Law? Experience was there if I wanted it, but I needed to eat and pay my student loans.
