Final exams are upon me at the law school. I've taken one already--did okay, I think--but the three scariest ones are thundering toward me in the next few days/weeks. I've got one on Wednesday (the day after my birthday--come ON!), then one on the 15th and my final Final on the 19th. In two of my classes, the final exam grade is the ONLY grade in the class--there have been no assignments, projects, etc. Just ONE shot to sink or swim! Only 12 more days, and then FREEDOM!
I can't WAIT to be done! I can't wait for a break. I've learned more about "six days shalt thou labor" this semester than I've EVER experienced before.
That said, I've enjoyed it, too. I feel like I've learned a TON. I've learned what to expect and I've got a better strategy for doing well next term. And I've learned a critical thing about myself, something that I never, ever would have discovered in any other setting: I have extremely loud shoelaces. (Amazing how the silence of a law library opens up these new vistas, isn't it?)

p.s. Okay, so there's no telling whether I'll be able to post again until Finals are done. I don't seem to have much spare time these days. And the little time I do have is mostly filled with fearful sobbing.
Just kidding, Mom. I know how you worry.
Just kidding, Everyone Else. I know Mom hasn't read this.

Well, since I walk up and down the icy mountain to get to and from school, break a leg probably ISN'T the best way to offer encouragement!
ReplyDeleteI'm THIRTY-SIX now! And I'm SURE that means I'll do much better on my exams than if I were only thirty-FIVE.
(Thanks for the BD hello!)
