We seem to be playing musical chairs this year. Many formed alliances early first year but some (more than half) have since left, and some partnerships have worn thin, at least at times.
So I studied for the Wills & Trusts exam in December with Daryl and Matt, studied for the Con Law midterm with Ashley and Andrew. But Matt is not at school now, and Daryl prefers to study either alone or with particular people. Ashley and Andrew are barely speaking, and so it goes. Some other groups seem to ebb and flow as the semester passes, always coming back together for exam study, no one willing to forego what has worked so far, almost like a talisman.
In the end, it doesn't matter much who I study with, as long as we talk. The study session becomes a sort of verbal tasting, where we roll a question about in our mouths, partake of its scent, and then observe the aftertaste. In so doing we come to know it on a personal level, and it is ours.
