2L. No motivation Forum

[dailygrind]

I think it's only fitting that this thread begin morphing into the SA no offer anxiety thread

Because no offers mean we would actually have to give a shit 3L year .

Yeah, I sort of need that offer if I want to take part in the "3L No Motivation" thread. God help me if I have to start a "3L's gunnin' it up" thread

That would be awful. So very, very awful.

Ugh. Just got destroyed by BA.

3 hours. 27 HARD multiple choice. Six page, single spaced fact pattern. Ultra-technical short answer. All with a 3k word limit.

That word limit hurt. It slowed me down so much.

Oh well.

At least 2Lol is almost over.

Animal law? I'll give you $20 if you spend at least 25% of the paper talking about the plot to Jumanji.

How much if I do this for my paper on international human rights?

$50, but only if the animals are all monkeys. You know why.

At least your guys' schools give out grades on time. My school has only given me one of my grades from last quarter (its been like 3 months). I wont even find out if I have a grade drop until the summer.

[as stars burn]

Evidence final in exactly 3 hours. I'm shaking in my boots, but the sweet taste of freedom upon me.

2L was awful...I can't wait until it is over.

[Pretzel_Logic]

Wait...so I'm not the only one who tanked fall semester? Oh thank God.

[D-hops]

Shit. I really hope my firm doesn't care that much about grade drops.

I'm still employed, so you're good.

Don't you have to look at your grades to know if they dropped?

[TTH]

Still, for some of us, it's gonna be a long summer till we know for sure.

[Antilles Haven]

One trial. In 7 hours. And I'm free. So close.

Just printed my last paper. Found a typo. Not going to reprint.

FREEEEEEDOM.

Done with 2L two hours ago, and I'm already highly intoxicated. FREEDOM!!!

0L, but this made me laugh.

[dailygrind]

I am done. It is hard to make the call between going out and going to sleep. Though I guess waiting for 5 more hours won't kill me.

Since you liked that, I figured I'd update you. I did not reprint the paper. Just got my grade for the class, based solely on that paper: A. 2Lol was good to me.

All grades are in. After four semesters, I'm still pretty sure my grades are produced by a completely random number generator.

I almost tried to screw one exam up. Didn't even read the last 4 chapters of the casebook, much less outline them. It was completely open-book take home. I just bought the Legalines in case any of the questions dealt with the last four chapters. The last question was a substantial one on the last 4 chapters. Just skimmed through the legalines and taught myself during the test -- and copied pretty much straight from the supplement.

Ended up being close to my best grade ever, and it was known as the hardest class in school. Most of the law review board was in there. I thought I was doomed. Oh well, I'll take it.

Of course, the classes I studied and outlined for I got near median.

The best thing is that I finally learned my lesson and put forth an absolutely pathetic effort this semester -- and was rewarded by raising my GPA. No use doing all that pointless work or reading when grades are a roll of the dice.

No use doing all that pointless work or reading when grades are a roll of the dice.

I'm almost jealous of people who find that to be the case. My grades are highly correlated with effort. To be sure, backloaded effort is worth like 10 times as much as frontloaded effort, but it's difficult for me to get good grades without putting in the time at some point or another. Which I no longer want to do.

I found his to be the case during 1L, but not during 2L. In fact I have gotten A's in all classes where I couldn't have tried any less than I have and got B's in the couple that I was worried about from the start and thus put in a ton of work and effort. Oh lawl skool.

Don't be jealous...because I put a ton of time into previous classes and it made no difference and screwed me for biglaw.

I really don't understand why it happens with me. The better I understand and study a subject, the worse I do on the exams. It's infuriating.

My grades this semester went along exactly with how well I understood the material. Considering it could've been an utter disaster, I'm pretty okay with how it ended up turning out.
