Contracts Tomorrow

Well this is my last post before my first law school exam! :)

I'm trying to either see this as an exciting opportunity to excel and win even more praise for my ridiculous intelligence, or alternatively to see it as something relatively small that doesn't mean much and doesn't warrant any positive or negative emotion. I figure both of these trains of thought would be better than the "oh my god I'm so nervous and this is such a huge deal" approach that most of the other 1Ls are sharing.

It's an 8 hour exam and will have two or three questions that ask me to take on different roles and spot substantive issues of contracts law as applied to the fact pattern presented (the professors try to be cute, but the questions are usually pretty boring and tedious). The professor says that it should only take 4 hours to write, but that we should spend 2 hours just reading it and thinking about our response, another hour editing (there are strict length maximas) leaving an hour to eat and "travel" lol. I thought it was funny that he said "travel."

Anyway, I'm only blogging so that if you read this you can send me good vibes (between 10AM and 6PM Friday) and also to say that I just got a really good omen for the exam:

I had 5 practice exams and model answers left to print and had just put some fresh paper into my printer. Wouldn't you know that the last page of the last answer was my last piece of paper?

I think it's so neat when stuff like that happens.

Well my printer is now re-loaded and ready for tomorrow's exam, and I'm looking forward to either tearing it up and giving the model answer, or doing very averagely and trying not to care.
