Last semester, while I was far from confident, I felt as though I had at least a little bit of a handle on things. Sure, I hated Civ Pro. and was confused about exactly where Crim. Law was going to end up, but I had some outlines, and I could at least explain what was going on.
This semester? Not so much. I feel that like my professor, I could blather for hours about the finer points of Constitutional Law – so I certainly hope that’s what we’re going to have for the exam. Contracts last semester was all about consideration: spotting it and knocking it down (even if the test turned out to be all about remedies). This semester we’ve got all kinds of interpretation, parol evidence rule, miscommunication, unilateral, and other exciting things. It doesn’t really seem to have gelled as well. Property? This is the one that currently makes a lot of sense to me, but I’ve heard that the professor writes tests guarenteed to leave you breathlessly wondering who let that LSD-crazed moose into the room and where your pants went in the meantime.
Anyway. The books call. And I’ve still got no summer job, so I’m not sure how the rent will get paid.
