Hello all! I know it has been a ridiculously long time since my last post, but such is the life of a 1L. The entire month of November was spent working on my long memo (the big writing assignment of the first semester), and December has been devoted to finishing up classes and taking finals.
This past week I took my first final. It was really nerve-wracking preparing for it. Knowing that the grade I get on that final will count for 100% of my grade for that class doesn't exactly make for a stress-free test. But I prepared the best I could, and went in feeling OK, and left feeling OK.
The one thing I really didn't need was my cat getting sick the day before the final. So instead of chilling out at my apartment the day before my final, trying to relax and get my head right, I was in the vet's office, worrying that she was going to die. But all's well that ends well, I suppose, and she turned out to be in better shape than previously thought, and the final went off (I hope) without a hitch.
So now property is officially done and over with. If only I could remove it from my brain so there would be more room for Crim, which is my next final, this Thursday. It feels like time has flown by; in just over a week, my first semester of law school is going to be over. But the work never seems to end. There is still the matter of applying to summer jobs, which is going on now, and working on my clinic client's case. No rest for the weary, I suppose. Anyway, I'll try and post again in the next week or so, and try and be better about making time to post here. Until then...
