Finals. F*%k I never actually learned this $h*t.
But I did, for the most part. I know what is going on. Yes I review and study, and spend hours memorizing flash cards, but I know a lot of what is going on. I actually have some sort of a clue. Most of the time. I've finished each exam early, which is either a sign I know what is going on, or a sign I'm clueless, I'll find out in January.
Its crazy. So much stuff to study, so many things to learn. Torts is all that I have left. I have about NO motivation left to study. And it is closed book, Multiple Choice, Short Answer, and Essay. Egh. But it should be okay. Test isn't until Wednesday, I know most of the flash cards, it is just remembering all the steps to the Negligence claims.
Basic Legal Research- difficult, but went ok. I think I nailed it.
Legal Writing- Time crunch, crazy hard, never dreamt a test could put so much info into one exam. It was a good precursor to the big four exams.
Property- went well. Essay and multiple choice and short answer. Got done early, and did not exceed the word limit... I wonder about it, I felt good when it was done though.
Contracts- made me feel like I got punched in the stomach. Got done early, figured I couldn't think of anything else. I hope I made all the needed arguments. The test was intense. 3 Essay Questions.
Civil Pro- made we want to cry. 100 multiple choice questions. About 1/4 of the way through I wanted to be done. It was so difficult. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and just cry.
Torts- yet to be taken. Closed book. Intentional, Negligence, Defenses, Evidence (overview) should be horrible, hopefully doable.
Getting ready to move on Thurs/Fri/Sat. Hopefully. Money fell through and I've been forced to come up with $1200 in a short amount of time. Hopefully one of my family members/ family friends is able to help me out.
Wish me luck to make it through this week. I'm going to need it.
On another note, Rest In Peace to the victims in Connecticut. You will not be forgotten. Senseless horror. The law student in me cannot help but wonder who will be sued and for what. The families deserve some money, but I don't know where it will come from. I feel morbid wondering about it, but that is where my brain is at right now. Lots of love to all the families.

Studying= Student + Dying
I've been studying. A lot. I gave up trying to study in my loud as hell apartment. So I went home. Mom and my sister have been great helping me study, reading flash cards and letting me take over the kitchen table. (Literally take over).
Its going good. I feel like I should be doing more, learning something else but I don't know what. I'm focusing on Property and Contracts right now. Once Contracts is done my focus will shift to Civil Pro and Torts, or maybe once Property is done I'll do Contracts and Civ Pro... that is probably more likely.
Dolly dog and I have had an eventful day. We walked to the auto shop to get moms car (she got a flat so she took my car to work). Then I went to lunch with a sorority sister. I have since been studying. Outlining, tabbing, flash cards, memorizing.
I feel like I know it. But I've had that feeling before and been SO VERY wrong. Sigh.
I have to go back to DeKalb tomorrow for a Property review. Then I have my property test on Thursday at 1pm. I'll finish the test probably around 4:30 and then drive up to mom's to continue studying. It's just easier here. Less distraction, no screaming girls, no fire alarms. Its nice.
Mom is going to be home in 2 hours. I'd like to spend the evening with her not doing Property studying. Perhaps I can swing it. If I get back to the books.
I hope I know more than I feel like I know. Its like in my head I know what is going on. But there is a problem getting that info out in a timely manner. And I need to make my brain connect the dots faster- but I'm not sure how to do that. I'll just have to figure it out.
Thanks to the amazing Kappa Delta ladies who have been so supportive, especially Mo. And thanks to Mom and Katie for helping me, understanding, and well putting up with my madness. Hopefully this side of 5 years I'll be well off with an amazing job. :)
