Are We There Yet?!?!

Less than a week from today, I'll be faced with the firing squad known as law school exams. Contracts, Torts, Civ Pro, Property, and Crim Law. I'm honestly happy that Contracts is first, it was last for me last semester. I ran out of steam for it and I'm lucky to have ended up with the mediocre grade I did. Torts and Property are my main concerns going into this exam period. One subject I love, while the other I hate. I hate Torts. I hate everything about it, including the mind numbing scholarship on it. I hate how a duty can be imposed to use ordinary care for a trespasser on your property but in most situations there is no duty to rescue someone that is well within someone's power of rescuing. Property I love. It is absolutely practical. Property is what many men, women, and children have died protecting throughout history. Where some would like to bludgeon themselves while talking about easements and restrictive covenants, I find it fascinating. Saying all this of course is moot in light of the fact that I plan on practicing criminal law. At the beginning of May, I will be a 2L(assuming I don't fail these exams). It's amazing that my lifelong dream of going to law school is here and that the first year has passed so quickly. I've met some amazing people here at school. I could not have made it through this first year without them. KMcC, AF, JC, JA, JF. Thank ya'll for keeping me sane, and keeping me going through this adventure/challenge. I look forward to seeing ya'll this summer on the other side of things. TV, Movies, Reading for Pleasure, Showing Horses, Lots and Lots of Sleep, and a possible internship with the Department of Public Advocacy awaits me this summer.
