I just returned from my con law exam. I'm not unhappy with how I prepared for the exam. It wasn't as bad as I expected. At the same time, I have NO IDEA how I did. I had many on the fence multiple choice answers, and I left none blank. He takes points off when you're wrong, vs. blanks which are simply no-scores. That's so scary. I'm not unhappy though. If I get a C, I know why. If I get an A, I know why. I wouldn't change my approach, and I'm not unhappy with the efforts I put in.

A friend's offhand comment about knowing a dissenting AND MAJORITY opinion inspired me to quickly search for just that. I nailed that part of the exam, but had she not said something I would have been unprepared. Ages ago I gave her a tip I got from a classmate, that he asks "Name your favorite dissenting opinion and why."

I'm a little tired, and not seeing when I'll ever get a break. This week I am in training while I prepare for my property exam on the 15th. The 12th I start my detail as ethics officer, a program far behind as it was left in shambles. School starts the 10th, which means a week before hand I'll be on school schedule for preparing work ahead of time (about 20 hours or so before classes start). I really don't get a break until summer, and I'm burnt out now.

It sounds like you may be able to craft a semi-break the week of Dec 27 - 31, partially because the 31st wiill be a fed 1/2 day and because, realistically, next to no one shows the days after the great commercial holiday. GE twinkle lights or not.

Hope you did well on the exam but know exactly what you mean about covering the questions, but ti is up to the subjective interpretation of ye olde professor as to the acceptance.

What I hate are the "You get an A/A- because it was good, but to be professional you would need x.y.z."
