Another last day of classes

“Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running up bills, stretching the truth, bending over backward, lying down on the job, sidestepping responsibility and pushing their luck.” - Author Unknown

It is final exam time. My mind is very fuzzy right now and this isn’t good since I have a lot more of the day to go. Today I am attending my final day of classes and then I am off to a studying marathon. Usually I would try to get the most out of each last class so that get ideas of what the final exam is going to cover. I don’t think today will be that kind of day. I had a paper due for my immigration class today (in addition to my final I need to study for). So of course I was up all night trying to put together something that resembled a paper so that I could have something to turn in. Now I am dead tired and a zombie, but need to survive an entire day of class. The only thing keeping me going is that I know it is my last day of classes for the semester.

So here is my how things look from my end. I have 3 final exams, Business Associations, Evidence and Immigration along with 3 papers, Immigration, Negotiation, and American Legal History. I turn in my Immigration paper today, but I still have 5 outstanding classes. So many people have like one exam and one paper, I wish that was me. Christmas isn't too far off, but right now it seems very far away.

Both papers are due on the 21st of Dec, but I am hoping to get them both done by Friday so that I can get them out of the way and focus only in exams. My first exam is Dec 7th, then 11th, then 19th. It hurts just thinking about it. I have a lot of learning to do.

I still need to buy plane tickets for Christmas. I should do that soon.

I’m impressed how long some people can stay mad at you for. I guess anger can stay dormant, but when it is brought up, it comes out just as strong. I think I have trouble staying angry at people, maybe I just forget why I’m mad. I will note that I might not be angry anymore, but I do know how to hold a grudge. No anger, just principle. This is not a good thing, but it’s an honest thing. I hope I don't have anyone that is mad at me.

After each class today, the students clap for the professor. I saw this for the first time in the movie the Paper Chase and then in my classes as a 1L. When I came to Mason I found out that they do that at every law school. I think it is nice.

when the pain is so high you have no choice but to choose action
