1 down, 3 to go!

First law school final is over! This morning was my first final - Contracts (the one I felt the least comfortable about going in). Now I'm 25% done with my first 1/6th of law school! Wow. Time is flying : ) Do I say that a lot?

It's funny, too, I wasn't nervous at all going in - even when I started the exam. I think that some time before this weekend I had a stress overload (because I was definitely ultra-stressed up until this weekend). Then, after the system overload, I apparently re-booted and restarted in normal pre-finals mode (apparently I am a computer). I figured I'd at least get stressed out when drove to school, or when I was sitting down in the classroom with my computer open, or when the proctor said "You may begin." ... but it never happened. 

I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing - I missed having that surge of adrenaline. Usually I feel like the adrenaline rush helps me - hopefully I did alright today without it. I felt like I did a solid job - I know I missed a few of the multiple choice questions, but all told those went well. There's no way to tell about the essay, because the grading is subjective and because other people may have found issues or made arguments that I missed (and vice versa). Just need to wait.

Our prof told us that the majority of us would make "some kind of a B." That is what I'm expecting on this exam (B's in law school are good). That way if I do better, I'll be pleasantly surprised, and if I get a B, then I'll be right (both good options). Friday is Civil Procedure, then next week are Criminal and Property (both of which I feel much better about). Now that the first final is over, the next two weeks will be downhill. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to study my butt off, but at least I feel better about the remaining finals. 

I'll post again on Friday after Civ Pro - between now and then I'll be studying, of course.
