Well, the Contracts midterm is behind me and, truth be told, I feel pretty ok about it. It was a fair exam and we were provided with a myriad of practice tests that prepared us. I'm pretty sure I hit a majority of the issues and explained them with sufficient detail. I feel pretty good about it, really. Of course, I felt good coming out of the LSAT last year too and look how that turned out. Well, best push such thoughts aside and plow on. The next exam (Torts) is this Saturday, after all.
We were told that 'The Fear' associated with law school exams would diminish significantly after the first one and I can now confirm that that is the case. I think it's partly the fact that the exams are no longer an unknown quantity and partly the fact that, provided you felt like you did ok, you actually trust yourself to retain all the pertinent information that they've drilled into you. A few days of prep work prior to the exam and, indeed, the Atari game cartridge that is Contracts is comfortably seated in the console that is your pre-frontal lobe.
Anyway, it's good to know that I can do it. There were a few harsh moments where I thought I might not actually be up to it. Contemplating failure along with a $35k tab at the end of the year isn't exactly heart-warming. I'm feeling much better now. I just hope it's not a false sense of semi-security.

Glad that all seemed to go well for you. We went to Scott's graduation in Salem today which was really nice. Jackson I think would have gotten up on the stage to help his dad with the presentation if not held back but he was really good considering he is only three. Friday we will be going up for the surprise party Heather is having for him at a Mexican Resturant. Sandy and Rick are supposedly picking them up for dinner to celebrate it should be fun. Imagine you have a bit of snow back there from the last storm how is Brooke handling the cold? Well that is about it for now.
Love,
Mom
