Half way there.

My civil procedure and contracts finals are done.

Civil procedure-

I walked into the exam and when it started I got sick. I couldn't think so I got up, went to the restroom and ran my wrists under some cool water. I came back, sat down and did as well as I could. I think I messed up the first few multiple choice questions and I'm not sure how well I did on the essay. Its probably not an A but I also didn't fail. So glass half-full I suppose.

Contract-

What the fucking fuck was that? 90 minutes to type as fast as you could in issue spotting memorized racehorse word vomit. I type between 90-100 wpm. I typed the entire time and I still missed two issues by virtue of the fact that there was not enough time. At the end of 90 minutes we had to stop typing and move onto the multiple choice. The multiple choice had easy questions and medium questions, but nothing terribly difficult.

I hit a ton of issues and had some decent policy points to make. I know I hit a few things that only people that memorized every slide, the cases and their outline would have gotten. However, I missed a statute of frauds issue and I didn't address specific performance (even though it wasn't valid for either party in the fact pattern it still needed to be addressed, I ran out of time).

Anyway, I knew the whole syllabus and all the material forwards and backwards and I likely still didn't get an A.


Two more attempts left. I'm still swinging for the fences, but these exams are hard.
