The After-Finals Blogpost!

Okay, I won't talk about finals, except to say that this semester, I just didn't do very well at all.  Honestly, most days, this semester, it was all I could do not to end up in a straightjacket in a rubber room.  Nothing to do with Law School, oddly. It was just the rest of the world crashing down around my feet.  Couldn't sleep, couldn't focus, didn't keep up in school.

I know after the Fall Semester that predictions are pointless.  However, I'm going to go out on a limb again.

Legal Research and Writing:  B-
Constitutional Law:  B-
Criminal Law:  C
Contracts:  C-
Property:  C-

Yes, I know that if my prediction comes true, I'd have to repeat Contracts and Property. 

All I can do at this point is pray that my prediction is wrong. 

My LRW appellate brief will be available to pick up tomorrow.  I was going to just wait for it to be posted, but I think I'll jog down to the school and get it just to find out.  May not have a letter grade on it, but will have a raw score that will let me know how close I am to the class mean.

The rest will probably get posted anywhere from a week to a month from now.

It sorta sucks that although Law School was the one part of my life that was under control, and that I really enjoyed (outside of my son), that the rest of the world just absolutely crushed me to the point that it impacted my law school performance. 

I really, really want to come back in the Fall as a 2L.  I've got so much working against me.  Now, thanks to some probably crappy final exam performances, I'll also be looking at academic probation or something. 

So, now, after a pretty good Fall, my law school life is just as much of a mess as the rest of my life.  Will keep everybody posted as grades come up.
