Well, I have now survived my first law school exam. Or if not survived, I'm at least tenously hanging off a cliff by my fingernails, waiting to see how my score comes out (insert gratuitous Shawshank reference here).
I feel ok. I'm at least certain that I passed the test, and I suspect I did better than that. For the curious, the test was on contract formation (offer, acceptance, consideration, promissory estoppel, promissory restitution and restitution). I came out of the gate pretty strong, reading the fact pattern carefully before I started writing, and once I did, the time just flew by, as fast as my fingers. For those not familiar, there's little that's more exciting than having to attempt to use (not even just recite back) everything you've learned in two months in an extremely dense subject in a total of 50 minutes. Crazyness.
Ever see that movie, Panic Room? There was a live performance in the UW College of Law room 142 at 2:50 pm local time.
We'll see how it goes, but right now I'm looking forward to doing my Torts reading and nursing a couple pints with some Bach in the background for the remainder of the evening.
Incidentally, Correction: I've recently uncovered my ding-a-ling-ness. As it turns out, there were 9 A- grades in my torts paper, plus 3 A grades. I still did ok, but I didn't do as ok as I thought. I suppose you could call me a flip-flopper because I won't delusionally cling to my preconceptions. Hmmm...
Addendum: I also turned in my final draft of my closed memo today. That's the one that is really gonna kick me in the ass because my writing teacher, as seen here. I did a lot of revisions, though, so I think I did ok. Hopefully at least high B level. If I can score that in the class, I'll have an A total because it's 2/3 while my research section (easy) is 1/3.
