Today marks one more week until finals start. The stress is mounting. My stress is not so much about worrying I'll pass, but, more so about whether I can maintain my scholarship.
Today we took a practice exam for Civil Procedure. The tutor ran the exam like a real exam at the time the exam will be given next week. The exam actually boosted my ego. I felt confident in my answers and did not waiver while typing.
Two straight hours of typing can be taxing. Ok, it wasn't two straight hours. I did spend around 20 minutes reading and gathering my thoughts before I started pounding my keyboard. The time did fly while I was taking the exam.
When I compared my answer with the model answer, I feel confident I would've gotten a high grade; not the top grade, mind you, just a high grade. Some of my arguments weren't as crisp as they could be and I missed two points which should've been raised. Other than those slight minor details, my answer showed I understood the question, the issues, and the topic. And this is the key to law school exams.
I have more studying to do. I am on track for Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Property. I feel I'm behind in Contracts. Of course, the Legal Skills project is still weighing me down but after tomorrow, I'll be unhitched from that impediment.
Well it's back to studying. Only one week left...
