So here we are, kids. I am a little less than 24 hours away from taking my first law school final. It’s been a heck of a ride, and I know that it will only get harder from here. I also know, however, that it will get a bit more tolerable once I know what is expected of me during these exams. Still, that is little comfort when tomorrow’s Torts exam determines 95 percent of my grade for the semester. And the professors are required to curve the grades, which means you are graded against your fellow class members. Gulp.
But seeing where I’ve been also makes me feel a smidgen of accomplishment. If you’re a fellow 1L, you should be proud of yourself too!

For serious, kids. There are starving babies in Africa. And something called medical school, which is super hard if you believe Grey’s Anatomy. It’s called perspective.

KICK BUTT TOMORROW!
[...] 1L Invisible Man wished that he could skip any more practice tests and just take his exams. Miami ‘12 Goateed 1L was one of the last in the library and, like Invisible Man, was ready for the exams to be over with. NYU ‘12 IDWSJ suggested that fellow students find motivation in all they will be able to do once exams are over, and then shared a comic that slightly counteracted the relevance of this advice. 1L Law Law only had great things to say about her CivPro professor, though the exam still terrified her. NCSU ‘12 TDot felt ‘mauled’ after one of his exams. On the eve of her Torts exam, Chapman ‘12 Julie was at least able to quantify the amount of progress she made. [...]
Hope that exam went well!
