  • FORCEFUL PROCLAMATION!

    I used that line on a comment that I recently left on a FB status. However, it seems equally fitting for this entry...Side note: I've been a fan of all-caps lately...what does that say about me? I'll save that inquiry for another time.

    Listen up, finals:

    This my third time playing this game. I've just about got you figured out. While I've not been entirely satisfied with my performance in the past, I'm confident (uncharacteristically so) that things will be different this time. I've studied, I've outlined, I've hypoed...I've torted and constitutionaled. I've done practice questions. Heck, I wrote a practice question that really achieved nothing more than to show me my ignorance!

    But that's okay. That's what it was supposed to do.

    This quarter has drug on slowly and suffered breaks that interrupted its flow. I ain't gonna let it get me down. Who cares that we started Step III back in November and that we've just now gotten done with Step I? I'm not a slave to chronology. My mind works like a steel trap...once it's in there, it stays (even if I want to kick it out).

    Who cares that I've currently got random bodies of law confused in my head right now? (Is that an action in habeus corpus per se for which a court will need to employ canons of statutory construction? Maybe there's a mistake defense because neither parties understood the assumption-of-risk defense as it pertains to the APA and actual malice?) I'll get it sorted. I'm well into my study blitz...and only moments from beginning to madly create and organize flash cards.

    BUT! There's still a little time. Everything comes down to the exam, the first of which is tomorrow.

    Be on edge finals...I'm ready for your wily tricks and impossible-to-thoroughly-address-in-the-time-given fact patterns.
