divine angst

I got called on in Crim today. To be fair, I knew I’d be called on; I was on notice for this week. Of course, she didn’t get to me until the very end of class, so my time was shorter than for the other people on notice. Still, I think I did well, and I even managed to pull the four levels of mens rea out of my head in the last five minutes of class. It’s lucky, too, because we had gone over and the whole class was convinced that if I’d struggled, we’d have stayed till I got it right. Whew! Go me!

Basically, class-type things are going well. I haven’t spoken in CivPro since the first week, though, when I said something that made me feel incredibly dumb. I need to figure out what’s going on in there a little better. I mean, I get things when I do the reading, and I get things when he’s lecturing, but I rarely get them to the extent that if I did get called on I’d actually have something intelligent to say. It’s probably because it’s my afternoon class and my circadian rhythms really want me to take a nap.
