I have one exam left on Tuesday, and I can't focus. Anyone else run into this wall?

Our finals last a week and a half. Info from 2,3Ls is that most people that make As do it on first 2-3 exams. Motivating lesson: If you sustain, and others do not, you have a better chance of an A in this class. HTH.

I think everyone does, friend. Power through it!

It's a mental game as much as a physical, stay strong my friend.

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I love it. Thanks! I need to listen to the Any Given Sunday speech.

yup.

Yeah, I had this problem towards the end. It also didn't help that we had exams on a Tues-Thurs, Mon-Wed. set up, and having only that one day in between was horrible.

Something I found to be helpful was taking naps once every 2-3 hours. Getting in anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes helped me stay fresh for the long haul. I also found that I'd wake up with information having been processed into memory after the longer naps.

ya, Im dead, but my property exam on Tuesday is the most random multiple choice possible so im not cramming/reviewing to hard.

I'm also haunted by my exams. I dream about the issues I missed and wake up cursing myself.

My last one is also the only open book exam, motivation to study completely gone.

If you actually look at the books, you fail... hth.

I spent all this time tediously preparing and indexing my outlines, and did not use them one time on 3 open book finals. That was pretty depressing. I guess they helped me study, but we'll find out how much in a month.



Anyway, I'm hoping everyone is going to blow off our last exam, since it's a boring subject, and it comes on the heels of the hardest law school test ever written. I could really use an A to somewhat offset my 3 sub-median performances so far. Would leave me with some hope of breaking top 1/3rd wiht a good semester in the spring, and also make me believe that i'm not a total fuck up.

Longfellow was a gunner...

Tony D'Amato: I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time. Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I've pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?

One of my favorite lines from any movie, heh.

I had open everything, but didn't bring my book to half of them.

Is anyone else bothered by the use of "experience" as a verb?

Someone has to make A's on the later exams.

No. Why would you be?

Oh god yes. I have a B-school final on Tuesday (class I'm taking as a law elective), and our law school finals are done (meaning everyone already went home) and I just can't study for this thing for the life of me. This class is mandatory pass/fail and I think I may actually be one of the few retards that actually fails a class at this school .

The really ridiculous part of this is that the prof gave us the case that is our final ahead of time (but not the questions) and I still can't force myself to just go through this shit.
