I've been trying hard NOT to complain about finals....but I've failed.
You know finals right?
Those tests with mixed emotions, that I take combined with little sleep, lots of coffee, and poor hygiene?

Well they are upon me once again. The crushing weight is almost unbearable
One minute I feel thrilled, this will all be over in a matter of days.
The next minute, I realize the entire semester has lead up to this....this test.
I never talked about it, but I actually froze up during a final last year. I got in, and had the heart pounding moment when I decided I'd forgotten everything. I freaked. I had to tell myself its not cool to cry in law school...and either way I was going to sit through this test, suffer through...and word vomit my best "BS" (pardon my language) I could come up with down on paper.
I wish I could say I could tell a difference between the grade I got in that class, and the grade I got in the class I felt most confident in. But no....if I recall correctly, they were the exact same grade.
The irony of law school
So here we are. Once again.
This semester, I will only have 4 finals.
Constitutional Law I
Evidence
Business Associations
Individual Income Tax
Either way, at around noon on Wednesday the 14th....I will be done.
I will have gotten through 1.5 years of law school (half way!!!)
And over half the credits I need to graduate.
The good thing- I'm too far in now to ever consider dropping out
The bad thing- I'm too far in to consider dropping out anymore
I'm stuck with it.
But winter break will be here soon. And If I remember correctly, it will be my longest break from classes since....well...my last winter break thanks to a summer of classes.
(this was a downer, pardon my bleak outlook on life at the moment)

That picture is EXACTLY how I feel too! Hang in there! If it makes you feel any better, last year I literally had to stand up during a final and finish standing up because I was so stressed out and anxious I physically could not sit in my chair anymore. I pretty sure my classmates thought I had lost my mind. Oh well!
Well you just described EXACTLY the emotions I've been going through, except that I've been studying so much I've lost the ability to put my emotions into words. Mike tried to be sweet last night and make up a fun date night and I ended up getting frustrated and crying because I couldn't think of what I was supposed to accomplish in this game (We were supposed to go through the alphabet and do different things for different letters...not hard. Really cute but I ruined it.) So take comfort in the fact that you are not alone :D
I COMPLETELY understand!!! Keep getting rest and try to find a good destressor. I'm counting down the days to the 19th - still so far away =/
Right there with you. Studying away my Crim Law right now. I only have three finals because one of my classes was Appellate Advocacy this semester, so I almost died over the past few weeks finishing that... Hang in there!

Hahaha! love the photo! You can do it! Sounds like you are going to make it!
p.s. I have the exact same t-shirt. :)
I may not be in law school but I am gearing up for finals just the same. Good luck to us both!
Hahahaaa I love that picture, Kitty!!
