back in the saddle

One more left, Civil Procedure on Thursday.

This is the exam I am least prepared for, though on the other hand it was one of my favorite classes.

I had to make some strategic choices when preparing in November. I had been steadily outlining all courses, but at a certain point I had to choose between finishing outlining and concentrating on the exams at the beginning of the exam period.

I decided to put my energies into Crim Law and Property, because those exams were 100% of my grade. Contracts and Civ Pro are only 25% of the final grade because they're technically midterms. (Those courses are year-long courses.) After those two, I focused on Contracts, because it was my first exam and I thought that performing well on the first would be psychologically beneficial. Of course, now I know that it's impossible to know how you did, but at least I didn't come out of Contracts utterly convinced I failed. I think that would have negatively affected all of my other exams.

Back to work for me now.
