now I understand why they say what they say about law school exams

OK. Everything I said about my Civ Pro midterm not being all that bad except that I didn’t time-manage? I take it all back for my Contracts midterm.

First, I have no idea what he wanted. The fact pattern seemed sort of straightforward, and I coulnd’t imagine why it would take 45 minutes to write it up. So I wrote down some notes and started typing and probably did more analysis than I needed to because I figured I probably needed to be writing SOMETHING. And in the last few minutes, I saw a final issue, but it only took a single paragraph to analyze.

So I don’t know. Either I totally rocked it, despite my grasp of contracts being VERY formulaic and not very substantive, or I totally blew it.

We’ll see Monday.
