This is amazing.

I had my Civ Pro final yesterday and I already forgot just about everything I learned in that class.

Now my head is filled with words like consideration, promissory estoppel, parol evidence, etc.

Fuck Property. Words cannot describe how badly I hate this course.

There needs to be a mandatory 4 day minimum time between finals. 2 days just isn't enough. God help whoever has exams on back-to-back days.

Understandable, I feel like I'm having cp withdrawls right now and my life is a torts fail. Sigh...back to (failing at) memorizing my checklist.

Good luck everyone!!

It's kinda like suicide drills from back in middle school gym class: Burst of effort, 1/10000 of a second sense of accomplishment, then agony over switching directions and having to repeat the process.

I still feel odd that my first exam isn't until Tuesday.

Tuesday when you're taking your first exam, I will still be hungover from celebrating the completion of my last exam.

I find Property to be extremely easy to the point that it's boring. I don't know why, but everybody else seems to hate it. Estates are tricky, but that's about it.

Out of everything I learned this year, the only thing that really scares me is negligence. Not outlining it, but applying it to facts. It's just so vague and there's so many flexible standards. Torts is my last exam, though, and I haven't really studied for it or taken PTs at all yet, so maybe I will feel better in time.

Ugh. With that said, I can't wait to get Property done with. I like Contracts the best, and want to start focusing on that.

Lucky.

Today my Crim professor told us - "I wish I could tell you all that you're going to do great on the exam and life will be wonderful after this, but that would be a lie. That's the payoff of coming to an elite institution, the competition is great and you aren't guaranteed an A."

Womp-Womp . . .

I suck at classifications of things. And I really hate that we have to pull all of that out of our ass. It's not as if we have to practice law by memory - double-checking is highly encouraged.

I hate law students...

Worse than hipsters.

What if both?

I'd rather face a zombee outbreak than walk through Wicker Park.

What about zombie hipster law students?

Dude, you don't have to convince me.

No one knows what they're doing in Crim. None of us has any idea how to answer his questions. This will be an interesting final.

well, just totally crapped the bed on that Erie exam question, luckily it was one of ten questions, however it was prob like 20% of the grade

might be making a trip to the liqour store soon

Torts exam in exactly 36 hours,
learning things for the first time tonight,
i'm doing it wrong.

Also, professors who like to think about these things in a very theoretically sense ("is proximate cause really necessary for negligence?" "does Posner's view on reasonable care effectually eliminate the need for strict liability for dangerous activities?" "with IIED, is there still a need for false imprisonment?") make this class a lot harder than it should be.

Did anyone's torts prof ask them to study Cardozo's lextures on the judicial process? I think our prof might ask us to apply cases/decisions to Cardozo's book and I'm not sure how to study for that.
