Halfway Done

Two finals are officially over. I imagined my Contracts exam to be this hellish ordeal with complex and hidden issues, but for the most part, it was pretty straightforward. That said I’m not going to get over confident. I do feel much better after this test, though, than I do about Con Law. The time pressure was not as bad as I expected either, but again some of my answers were only one paragraph while others were about a page (all were graded equally). I think the grading process will be much harder on Contracts than on Con Law, but who knows.

I am concerned about this snow business that is threatening Portland. The date of snow keeps changing, but currently it is suppose to start Sunday and stay below freezing until Wednesday. This is not good. It cannot snow. The last thing stressed out law students need is to deal with not being able to get to school, rescheduling their exams, and having their carefully constructed view and preparation of exams be totally destroyed by an Arctic front. Worse, yet, is this law student lives on a mountain (actually a dormant volcano, but why split hairs) and does not have the adequate snow tires or chains, nor the money to buy them, to get back up the mountain should he decide to brave the icy downhill trek to school. The best part is buses are non-functional during snow and ice because the hills are so steep. Thanks a lot Portland public transportation.

This is mid-exam period stress talking so don’t mind me.

Law Down the Law!

P.S. I must also thank previous supervisor at big name law firm in D.C. for sending an amazing assortment of candies, coloring books, and silly putty for finals period. Thanks!!
