So handwrite he did. Afterwards, he said it wasn't that bad.
He was much more collected than I would have been. I smiled encouragingly at him, and he shrugged, smiled back, and moved his useless computer to one side. He was calm. I was very impressed.
I was not calm. I did more breathing and sent frantic "Do NOT fail! Do NOT fail!" thoughts towards my computer. At this point, all of the students sitting within two feet of me had experienced some sort of technical failure. It was not a highly reassuring situation.
The proctor counted down and we began.
Time flew by. I wrote quickly and I spotted a lot of issues. I didn't finish early, but I didn't run out of time, and I wasn't utterly stumped by any of them. My computer, thankfully, did not fail.
Afterwards, my friends and I deliberately avoided talking about the exam. We didn't want to go into the next one thinking that we'd missed an issue on Contracts. As my friend S. said with a shrug, "I don't think I flunked, and that's good enough for now."
However, I survived the pre-exam lightning, and that's got to count for something. I owe all of you a huge, huge thank you for your protective prayers, good thoughts, and good karma.
Onwards to Crim Law!

Our theory is talking specifics about the exam is useless. Even if you wait until after all the exams are done, or the grades come out, there's really no point to it. Either you spotted an issue or you didn't. Better to focus on the next exam, and the next, and then on the big party after exams are over. (My section has been planning said party since the second week of the semester. I love my section.)
CrimLaw! Whoo! Me, too.
I'm with you. Let's not talk about specifics. That subject is so OVER. Onward and Upward.
Holy cow, I got all tensed up just reading these entries, T! But you're doing well so far. Nothing stumped you and you finished with time to spare. That's a sure sign of being prepared and knowing your stuff.
Have confidence in yourself.
