class is done
I had my last classes of the semester on wednesday. Now I'll be studying for the next three weeks and taking an exam every week or so. the first one is a week from friday. if any of you want to call with words of encouragement, leave a message, because i don't get cell service in the library.

The most accurate blurb I've ever seen on law school grades:

"My experience with Boalt grades is that they tend to be stable from semester to semester in terms of the number of each grade, but the distribution by class doesn't seem to be correlated to either interest in the subject matter or level of studying. My theory is that law school test-taking success depends more on inherent skill at such tests than it does on complete and thorough knowledge of the material. That being said, if you don't know anything, you probably won't do well. But my theory (based only on my own experience and rationalization for not studying too much) is that once you meet a certain threshold of understanding, your grade won't really be improved by more studying. So, based on that theory, the best approach is to study for all classes in hopes of reaching the "knowledge threshold" for each class, thereby increasing your chances of getting more good grades."
