BoSox, a very dear friend, called me the other day to say, essentially, the same thing that she said in a comment to this post: "I am proud of you, Denise. This has been a rough term". That was so sweet of her.
You know, it has been a rough term. Ever since "spring" break when I had to travel back to Florida and file divorce papers I have not been able to get my head back into law school. And, then of course, I had to go back again at the end of that month to actually finalize the divorce.
Then, there have been other "issues", only a few of which I've blogged about (no one wants to read a blog that does nothing but complain do they? -- I certainly don't). And, of course, there were my activities of choice.
I rationalized all kinds of ways. But, in essence, I always figured there was time to do what needed to be done to get caught up. But, that time is now gone as far as my Property class is concerned. I am not caught up. I know what a fee simple is and even the defeasible estates. I even have a clue about fee tails. But future interests? Ha! Reversion and possibility of reverters and remainders, oh my!
I guess the two comforts I have is that I fully expect to pass EO and CRT with no problems, plus I know that barring a complete and utter meltdown I won't fail (hell, even with a complete and utter meltdown I probably won't fail) either Property or Transnational Law (which exam is next Tuesday, followed by the EO exam on Wednesday).
[UPDATE] Is there a rational reason for my still being awake at 2 frickin' o'clock in the morning when I have to get up for my first exam in 4 1/2 hours? Uh, that would be no. I just cannot sleep.
[UPDATE 2]
OK, first exam down. Two-parter: 1st part - 12 multiple choice questions; 45 minutes. I knew none of them (NONE!) for sure. I was able to narrow it down to 2 in 3 or 4 questions and the rest were damn near random guessing. Second part: 2 essay questions; 2 hours. I kicked ass on those, I think. I felt really good about my analysis on both questions (well, the second one was painfully simple, it was nearly exactly the fact pattern of one of the cases we had read!).
Problem: Rumor Central has it that he only looks at the essays if he needs to adjust to the curve, otherwise the multiple choice determines our grade. There's a rule against perpetuities? What is a perpetuity?
