Note to self

You don't need earplugs for the exam, you need them for afterwords. I felt pretty good about my property exam, until some of the people in my section started doing a postmortem dissection of it. OY. Some comments are funny, IE R saying "I drew a diagram of a guy going 'meh' in my bluebook." Or C saying "I LOVE taking exams. They make me feel grrreeat!" Or, a random 1L not in my section who a few days ago came out of the building saying "I MAY NOT BE SMART, BUT AT LEAST I'M NOT STOOPID! WHOO!" Cheers to you buddy. If I could remember you, I would buy you a beer.

Other totally acceptable comments include variations of: "At least it's over." Or, "I felt better about it than I thought I would." Because, I want the best for MOST of my section mates.

But all of this "Did you get this issue? Oh, how funny was it that she gave us the opportunity to do XYZ. I thought that question was awesome, because I could show off my superior knowledge about..." Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

And, to feel even more inspired, here's a direct quote from Law School Confidential:

"Getting 4 Bs...during your first semester puts you into a bit of a hole. Those grades aren't going to attract 1L employers, and they're going to make it pretty hard for you..."

If I get straight Bs at this point, I might piss myself with joy. Amazing how my standards have dropped.
