one down, three to go

Thank you very much for the waves. I think they helped. I didn't think of the nice weather outside once during the exam.

As usual I left the exam thinking it was very hard and not having any idea how I did. I couldn't have predicted any of my grades after last semester's exams, and I think the same will be true this time around. It was very, very tough.

The biggest challenge in this exam was the time pressure. My professor told us ahead of time that while the questions would be relatively straightforward, "You won't be able to finish the exam if you don't know your civil procedure cold." She was not lying. It was a test of the speed with which we could show the depth of our understanding. I personally disagree with her assertation that the questions were relatively straightforward, but I've learned by now that my definition of straightforward and a law professor's definition of straightforward are two entirely different things.

Last night I took the night off, and I'm back at the books this morning, though admittedly with a lack of enthusiasm.
