Let's try this again (final exam edition).

It's been a really long time since I've blogged.  Judging by my last post, my life has changed quite a bit in the mean time.  I have wanted to pick this back up for some time now, but for some reason I just haven't.  I hope to write somewhat regularly now.  When life is hectic my posts will be short.  When I find more time, I'll write something more substantial.  Right now I'm in the midst of my second-to-last set of final exams, so this post is going to be short and sweet.

Finals are torture.  I have already taken my criminal procedure final, which completely destroyed me.  I was more prepared for it than I have ever been for an exam.  Unfortunately, I felt like all my hard work flew out the window the minute the proctor said, "begin."  I was tasked with writing five essays in three hours, and I didn't feel like I was able to really apply my knowledge to the exam.  I didn't feel like it was an adequate showcase of my high level of preparedness.  The word counts, time crunch, and blandness of the essay questions resulted in what I am anticipating to be a poor showing.  Now it's time to keep buckling down and prepare for commercial law and labor law.  Commercial law is going to be a beast, and labor law, two days later, is going to be a breeze.

Like I tell myself every semester, in 11 days it will all be over whether I like it or not.  The exams will come, I will do the best I can, and then it will be done.  And this year I will have an uninterrupted, work-free break that lasts nearly a month.  I plan to relax, run, and read (for enjoyment).  It's going to be incredible.

I leave you with a picture of my snowy Sunday morning, the rim of my cup of coffee, and Wendall looking intently out the window...
