Priorities

The Property II midterm wrapped up this afternoon, so we’re 1 down and 4 to go

Not entirely sure how mine will turn out — it’s one of those situations where I either did exceptionally well or exceptionally not-so-well, depending on if I got a few foundational issues straight in my head or if I applied the wrong rule(s) throughout the multiples+essay.  We’ll see.

Left for home after classes to escape the aura of stressed-out-ness that emanates from the law library this time of the semester, swinging by Bojangle’s to grab whatever meal comes in between lunch and dinner.1  Now spending the next 3ish hours studying CivPro before switching to Torts before bed.

It was in the middle of eating that I realized how badly my priorities get screwed up around exam time

I couldn’t tell you the last time I got up early enough to cook breakfast. Haven’t gone running in a week, despite the bundle of motivation that is reading idwsj. And when I invited Co-Counsel over to be my CivPro study partner, the invitation was promptly followed by me freaking out when I realized the level of disaster that was/is my apartment.2

Thankfully she declined the invitation so that particular crisis was averted

Just 2 more days to go with CivPro+Torts tomorrow, then Ks+CrimLaw on Friday. I promised my apartment I’d clean it at some point soon thereafter.

Good luck to all my fellow 1Ls going through midterms alongside me! Remember: this time next week you’ll be able to enjoy the ever-so-slightly-less-frenetic pace that follows an exam

1. Ever notice there’s no “brunch” equivalent for the afternoon? [↩]
2. On a scale of 1 to Haiti, high enough that my bedroom is the only sanctuary from various law-related materials strewn about and I avoid the kitchen entirely [↩]
