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.

CERCLA violation

We're going to have to call in EPA's haz mat team to clean up the toxic mess that was my Environmental Law Exam.

One down. Three to go.

Environmental law exam begins in twelve hours. Much to my surprise, I am still learning new things about statutes I thought I already understood. How exciting.


Sob.

Exams begin in less than 48 hours. I basically didn't study at all yesterday. Instead, to de-stress, I got drunk.

At my fiance's company Christmas party.

I suspect he'll be getting a promotion any day now, thanks to me.

I'm just trying to give the people what they want


Needless to say, I'll be ordering take out more often.

I was reading over my notes on Lawrence v. Texas in order to form my outline for Constitutional Law. I found the following funny typo:

A Texas statute made it a crime for two persons of the same sex to engage in certain intimate sexual cats.

Bahahaha.

PS: Did I say you wouldn't be hearing from me because of exams? What I meant is that I will be posting several times DAILY in order to procrastinate. You're welcome.

Dear Bloggess, I just paid about $20,000 for law school, which there is no way I can get back. Unfortunately, I also just discovered I hate law school. What should I do? Love, Meg

Spray paint a big C in the Law School’s sign so it looks like it says “Claw School” and then tell them that you thought you were paying to get a degree in fixing claws and ask when the claw lessons start. Then when they explain that this is law school and that claw school doesn’t even exist threaten to sue them for false advertising. Tell them you’ll settle for $20,000 and then if they say no, go to class and constantly interrupt the professor to ask questions about claws and when he doesn’t know the answers be all “WHAT KIND OF CLAW PROFESSOR ARE YOU?” Evenutally you’re going to get your money back. Or end up in jail. In which case your law training will come in handy so I hope you were occasionally listening in class and not just thinking up new claw questions.
