agh, crap

Well, I wrote my Property exam. And it was not good. I think I did OK in the essay questions and the multiple choice, but the short answer section really killed me. I could not for the life of me figure out exactly what present or future interests people had, what flaws there were in the grants and wills, and whether the Rule Against Perpetuities applied to any of it.

Maybe if I'd had Paul Kopell staying up till 3am last night explaining the RAP to me like he did for Jack McCoy, I might have done a little better. Too bad he's in prison. And not a real person.

Anyway, I've made an appointment to see the A. Dean about the make-up exam period. Ugh. I almost hope he'll say no, so that I don't have to keep studing Property.

Oh well. On to Legislation!

Very good. I see law school is doing wonders for your intellect. Nice to see things don't get better after college, since that is definitely a statement I would make.

My brain is mush. Latin-filled, precedent-setting, formalistic mush.

:) Well, I'm not sure about the "things don't get better". This year has been torture, but last year I had the feeling that, as boring as it got sometimes, at least I was doing this for a purpose more concrete than "I want to get a piece of paper written in Latin to hang on my way" or "I want to get good marks... so I can go to another school and keep reading crap."

Hopefully next year when I'm taking courses I want again that feeling will come back. If not... oh dear.
