Just a month to the first midterm exam. The stakes are high, although not as high as they will be at finals time. Some professors use the midterm results only if they help our grade, and some use them regardless. Either way, it will be a good gauge as to how our test taking skills stack up, and what black letter law we do and don't know. So we can decide from those results how hard to work, and what to change, during 2nd semester. Our grade is entirely based on the midterm and final exams, nothing else.
Which means...all the hours of briefing cases for class is largely so as not to be humiliated in front of everyone. I've stopped typing briefs, and am now book-briefing, in an effort to leave more time for studying the black letter law, and theoretically for practice tests. I'm making some progress on the black letter law, but clearly need to redouble my efforts in this month.
Meanwhile, things at work are at fever pitch, and I don't know at this point who will be left standing when the smoke clears. I worry sometimes.
