1 down, 3 to go

Civ. Pro. = done forever. It wasn't so bad. I think.

Except for the part where I finished the 90 minute question in less than 60 minutes. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Are You?

YOU ARE RULE 8(a)!You are Rule 8, the most laid back of all the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. While your forefather in the Federal Rules may have been a stickler for details and particularity, you have clearly rebelled by being pleasant and easy-going. Rule 8 only requires that a plaintiff provide a short and plain statement of a claim on which a court can grant relief. While there is much to be lauded in your approach, your good nature sometimes gets you in trouble, and you often have to rely on your good friend, Rule 56, to bail you out.

33 hours until my first law school exam...

It's hard to believe, but as of today, I am officially done with Civil Procedure and Torts classes (well, except for the exams). It seems impossible that a semester has gone by so fast. I was concerned about the length of semesters after spending four years on the quarter system, but I don't even feel burned out at this point. Of course, I might once exams are finished, but that remains to be seen.

At UVA (I don't know about other schools), the students clap for the professor at the end of the last day of class while he/she is leaving the room. I think that's kind of neat. There's just such a different atmosphere/feeling to law school than there was in undergrad. I like it.

So I also fully finished my CivPro outline this afternoon, which is exciting. I have that exam Monday, followed by Torts on Thursday, Criminal Law the following Monday, and Contracts the following Thursday. I think it will be nice to have exams so spread out. Hopefully, it will allow me to really focus on one at a time. I'm hoping to get the rest of my outlines done by Friday so that I can devote the rest of the weekend to CivPro.

Speaking of CivPro, at the PILA Auction, Steve, Laura, Taylor, and I bid together on dinner with Professor Collins at Zocalo and we won. We are going out to dinner with him this Saturday night, and I am so excited. The other day in class he mentioned some stories that would only discuss "over a beer" and Laura and I are determined to get those stories.

The Buckeyes are back in the National Championship game. Not sure how I feel about that. Of course, it's great to participate in three NCs in six years. I just really don't want a repeat of last year. I hope it's at least close. I don't think Tressel and the team would let it be a complete embarrassing blowout, though. Anyway, Stef wants me to go down to New Orleans with her for the game. Haven't decided for sure yet -- need to talk more details with her.

Okay, now that my coffee is kicking in, that's enough of a study break. Now to the torts outline...
