They Actually Let Me Graduate
Graduation was rough. First of all, I was sick. Soar throat, runny nose, that sort of thing. Second of all, under my heavy robe, my hood, my cap, my wool suit, my dress shirt and tie, my undershirt, I was sweating like a pedophile. Third, I still had a paper due. In the middle of the semester, my prof said that I could turn it in whenever I wanted.
“You mean, I can turn it in after graduation?”
“Sure you can. I know you’re good for it.”
At the time it seemed like a blessing. During graduation, not so much. I know I would have easily got it done if he had set a due date. Can’t blame him, though. Only myself.

Time Flies
My last-ever law school exam goes down in 17 hours. Law school exams are typically three hours long…and I swear, they’re the fastest three hours of your life. Before every exam, I go through the same mental ritual: I think, Three hours is so long… like watching 6 back-to-back sitcoms; I’m going to be so bored. And then the exam starts, and then I answer a few questions, and then the proctor calls “Time” after what feels like eight minutes. How are exams for you? Does the time fly by…or do you feel every minute of it?

Prior to law school I always
Prior to law school I always finished every exam well before "time".
Now? I've never had a test feel "completed". There's always one more point you could make, or a multiple choice to review one more time. It's nuts.
There are two scenarios for
There are two scenarios for me with regard to exam time limits.
One, if I know what I'm talking about then the time pases quickly. This means I either feel like the three hours passed in seconds or I wish I had MORE time.
Two, if I don't know what I'm talking about or if I am stumped by a question the time drags by at a ridiculously slow pace. This is very frustrating.
Unrelated, we were able to take exams on our computers for the first time this past semester via "Electronic BlueBook" software. This speeds things along and allows for better reorganization. With less emphasis on space management or attempting to write legibly, time was less of an issue. Win-win for everyone.
For sure. For sure. And
For sure. For sure.
And if you think the feeling is bad on law school tests, try writing a book!
Oh, computer tests are FOR
Oh, computer tests are FOR SURE better. The one thing is...they kinda turn law school testing into typing competitions....whoever can type more gets the best grade.....
And I have a feeling you're not stumped too often, Counselor Chris...
You are clearly well
You are clearly well prepared.
Not true. I'm an awesome
Not true. I'm an awesome typist, and in fact I did win a typing competition back in high school. 90 wpm, sorry haters! Yet my law school grades suck.
