i was 100% sure I was egtting an A on my t&e exam...then the last 20 minutes of the exm hit and it all went down hill--now I am certain I got a C.

i couldnt figure out where the assets that passes through intestacy goes into the analysis [is it a nonprobate transfer?! its def not probate! wth?!]

i spent so much time trying to figure it out, i never got all the way thru the elective share analysis....as a result, I ran out of time to talk about lost wills, which was th elas issue on the exam. It was so blatant--nobody will miss that one :( I just keep calculating how many points i probably missed and how i will never get an A or A-...hopefully i didnt mess up bad enough to get below median :-/

I feel sad for you guys. Law school exams are a piece of cake. Once you've taken one of them, the rest are just the same. I'm actually working on my law review note in between exams. 2L has been a snooze fest.

Same here.

On another note, MY LAST EXAM IS TOMORROW....it is the one exam I am confident I can get an A on this semester.

Just took my Commercial Law exam (secured transactions, commercial paper with a review of contracts), and I have no idea how I feel about the exam. The multiple choice was killer, as expected, but I managed to almost finish (had to blindly guess on about 5 of them), and I don't think I did that bad, although I don't feel great about it either. :? The essay portion was more of a "bonus," but there's no way I'm getting a bonus because I couldn't even finish and my analysis was awful to say the least. 90 minutes is not enough time to read 15 pages and write on three very large issues. Apprarently, I'm the only one who struggled with time on that portion though. Oh well, it's done. Here's hoping for median in that class.....I'm positive the curve will save me.

Oh fuck me and fuck law school. I was sitting in my shower minding my own business when into my head pops the realization. There was a statute I correctly applied to the 2nd half of a question. I just forgot that the result of that statute being met turns cap. gains income into a constructive dividend, which then triggers an analysis that we spent 3 classes on that I didn't even touch on the exam.

I just spent 30 minutes standing in my shower working this entire 2nd half of the problem in my head, and I've now come to the conclusion that I earned exactly 0 points on the last 1/8th-1/6th of my exam. Fuck.

You come across as a very unlikeable person.

Who cares, can't do anything about it now.

Also, I'm done. Thought the exam was easy, which means I missed shit. But doesn't matter, done.

I'm eagerly anticipating Diablo 3 in just a few months. Not sure how I will balance summer job or 3L year with the time commitments I will be putting into that game.

Go sprites man: Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI, you can download an emulator, the game ROM, and start playing in like 3 minutes. Or, if we're talking about PC games, Age of Empires: Age of Kings is the best RTS ever, whereas Rome: total war is the best TBS game ever.
