I’m feeling rather devastated after my exam. Honestly, I just don’t know how I did. I tried to cover as many points as possible but I feel like I saw only the forest and not the trees (or he just asked really straightforward questions). I asked several people about one fairly easy (I thought) question (that was my first mistake — even asking!) and they all gave the same answer as me until another group came over and were like, “Didn’t you mention Omission? What about Complicity?”
But what really got me down is that apparently our teacher spent a whole class discussing our state law on one topic versus the MPC & Common Law approaches. My study partner and I failed to include any state law on our outline and I completely missed the part of the question where it said “LOOK AT PAGE ___.” I did put down the correct statute and discuss the legal differences as I saw them (although what the heck do I know since, as I mentioned before, I have no recollection of this topic), but I failed to read the page she referenced, which had key data as to how they apply it.
I feel like such a moron!
What is stressing me out most is that I attended almost every class and paid attention. When I compared my notes to a classmate’s, I had most of what she had (by pure chance — I was typing, but wasn’t absorbing). But do I remember anything my teacher said? Nope! Don’t even get me started on work. I want to be a successful attorney. How on earth am I going to do that if I bomb tests and can’t remember what I did this morning much less what I have planned for tomorrow? I guess it’s too early to tell what the long-term effects of the Neurontin will be, but so far mental defect is definitely a big one.
Okay, I’ve whined enough (assuming anyone’s actually far enough through my bitch session to care). Off to start studying for my next exam!
