Well, I think things have calmed down a little. I took the MPRE on Friday, as did many of us about-to-be-3Ls around the country. I didn't study all that much, not as much as I probably should. It didn't seem as if many people studied much, though, so I hope when they do the calculations I don't score too far less than the crowd.
It will take about five weeks to get scores. This seems pretty low. The test is on a bubble sheet, then they compute scores based on some sort of arcane formula. I don't know how many tests they have to score, but it doesn't seem like it should take more than, say, two weeks to get everything to us. I wonder when the people in charge of this (and the LSAT, for that matter) will get with the times and start giving this test on computers. I took the GRE on a computer, and it was great. I got my score right away, no waiting.
In other news, my case note is published. It showed up on Westlaw recently, and one presumes it is or soon will be on Lexis, as well. I sort of have mixed feelings. I'm learning so much at writing, both as part of law school and my summer job, that I think it could be better. Actually, I found some tweaks within a couple weeks of turning in the publication draft I wish I had made. Ah, well. I suppose it is a snapshot of what I could accomplish at that particular point in time.
Speaking of my summer job, this is my last week in the office. I'll still have some hours to do, but this will be the last I will spend in my office. It's sort of mixed: I love the work, but I hate the hour-each-way commute. This summer has gone by extremely fast. I'll have to do a little retrospective post pretty soon.
Congrats on being published! My name is out there, but only as a footnote.
