1 Down

I had my first my first law school exam today (Torts)...not quite sure how I did.  It's hard to say with these tests and my grade could probably fall in anywhere from B to F.  It was a four hour exam- one hour to read and outline and three to write.  The actual hypo itself was pretty cool-it had to do with the Pacers-Pistons brawl but the questions themselves were quite brutal.  Unfortunately I misunderstood the first question and spent the roughly 30 minutes writing on an unrelated subject and then had to scratch out three pages of blue book writing.  When I discovered my mistake I just about had a panic attack, and as a result I had to rush through the rest of the exam and I honestly can't even remember what I wrote.  The most frustrating part is how much time I spend studying. I studied for eight days for this exam and had so much information tucked into every corner of my brain that when it came time to actually recall particular details for the test I couldn't do it.   Not to mention the fact that we covered and had to learn roughly 800 pages of material but were only tested on about 50 of those pages. Hopefully I didn't fail and I still have three tests with which to redeem myself.

After spending the entirety of the last few days huddle in the same study room in the library I figured that I could use a night out so a group of us headed over to Sunset Tavern, a "college" type bar close to my place. It was so relaxing having a few drinks and thinking about something other than Torts for a change; the last few days I had subconsciously started analyzing everything under Tort rules and no matter what I tried I couldn't stop myself from doing it.  Walking to the cafeteria I almost slipped after stepping in a puddle of spilled smoothie and Drew and I spend the next 15 minutes what Tort actions would have arisen if I had actually fallen.

Thankfully Torts is over, but now I have Elements to look forward to on Tuesday.  However, before that studying can begin there is the not-so- small matter of the ACC football championship game being played here tomorrow; well not really a "championship" game in the traditional sense but if UM beats VA Tech tomorrow we win the ACC and likely go to the Fiesta Bowl.  So Go Canes!!!  Hokies suck!
