As I mentioned, my Civil Procedure exam tomorrow is the one for which I'm the least prepared.
I've managed not to freak out too much this exam season. I've been very tired at times, but not generally panicked. However, I've seen students break down in tears, heard about screaming matches with their loved ones, or watched them go out on all-night drinking binges. It's a response to the stress. I suspect this is a function of age; I probably would have been an unmanageable, shivering bundle of nerves eight years ago as well. Life experience is an excellent stress-management teacher.
But for Civil Procedure, I've lost my zen. I'm not watching the stressbunnies; I am a stressbunny. Thankfully it's a closed book exam, so the amount of material we're expected to know is at least limited, but it's still a hell of a lot of material. I have to force myself to calm down, force myself to not panic if I miss something on a practice exam.
Back to the books now. Send me zen wishes. I need them.

As always, I'm pulling for you. This is doable!
Just remember: he gives you points not for spitting law at him, but for argument. Think of the most creative thing each side could argue at each stage in your flow and you will be his darling. (Having gone to his ofc hrs all semester, you already think the way he wants, more than you may know.)
Ruh-roh! I hope my zen vibes and wishes aren't too late. But here they come in force . . . better sit down so they don't knock you off your feet!
