Sad but true

Headline: "[Battery] Charges dropped against man accused of passing gas"

I survived!

Contracts.

The class was still settling down when my professor started class by saying "Mrs D, can you please tell me the facts about Patterson v. Pattberg? I thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest. I stood up, grabbed my brief and nervously started going over the case. He stopped me mid sentence. "Let's come back to the case, why don't we do a few hypotheticals?" Great. It is way easier to regurgitate facts than to apply the rules of the case (which you have to infer, they are not given to you)to different situations. Needless to say, I did fairly well. My professor let me off the hook half way through the case saying that I did a good job and he wouldn't want to rob someone else of the opportunity. Some of my classmates even congratulated me after class, but I don't want to get cocky, we try to congratulate everyone after class that does reasonable well. Overall a very positive experience with my first real shot at the Socratic method.

House Arrest?

In orientation a few weeks back we were told that we needed to devote 60 hours a week to studying law. Being the good student that I am (just kidding they told us we had to) I decided to make a schedule. Can you believe this? I couldn't even fit in the 60. I think I am in the high forties.

Oh and by the way, the part you are not supposed to believe is the studying- not the fact that I factored in gym and church time. Cut me some slack I couldn't turn in a schedule that said " The Hills and Gossip Girl Monday nights"
