one down

Civ Pro final wasn't painful. It was four hours of moderate fun.

The only problem is it was pretty easy. Which means the curve will be tight - and every little mistake will count BIG. Which, I know there were lots of mistakes. Son of DPI says, "We're fine, there are lots of stupid people in our class," but I think he's wrong. And mean. But he already known he's misanthropic, so we just laugh.

Mostly, it's over.

Then I went and met the woman whose house I might live in starting in March while she travels the world. She's a lawyer, and she says I'll actually use all those Rules I learned. Good. Because I think I made sense of them - just, please, no more stupid hypotheticals about raw milk cheese or nannies or gun manufacturers named Darma.

Thursday is Torts. I think my plan is to read the 500-page supplement I have, to review my notes, review Smart-Smart Man's notes, and look at exams from other profs (this prof has not ever taught the class before). And I told the prof I'd come see him, but maybe not.

Then next week, Monday is Contracts. That will be hard because I haven't done much to prepare. Then Thursday will be Crim Law, and there's lots to memorize for that. At least both of those have some practice exams I can play with. No answers, but at least I can peruse the exams. Then, Friday I leave for Senegal. Wow. 11 days. I'm SO NOT PREPARED.

But it's freakin freezing here (literally, below freezing) so I think I'll make some hot chocolate and crawl into bed with a sexy Torts book. I'm kind of liking this serial monogamy thing of finals studying. Usually I spend a couple hours with each of the subjects, but this time, I get to really focus on one - until I toss him aside and move on to the next.

Oh, so I think if she'll have me I'll do the house thing. It'd be less money, even with gas money figured in, there's a washer and dryer, and it's a cute, clean house that I like. It has a good energy flow, like my house that I used to have. It's in a nice neighborhood - real family (with holiday decorating wars), and conveniently located. It'll be about a 10 minute drive to the shuttle to school, or to where I live now and where I can walk from. So, she said to let her know when I know 100%. It is just hard to leave a couple things here - my landlady and neighbor (who invited me in for wine tonight) are both so nice, and not having to drive. But, I don't feel settled here, and I want a window. There, I'd have numerous windows. It wouldn't be "mine" but it would work for the 6-12 months she plans to travel. With my penchant for moving, that would be good timing.

Yawn. Long day.
