test time

tomorrow is my first exam (crim pro - criminal trial stuff...specifically 4th, 5th, and 6th amenment issues). a few days ago i went to the beach with my roommate and we got burned. she had a base tan from weeks of sunbathing and i had fresh white skin. at first we thought she was more fried than me, but as the days have unfolded my skin has turned progressively redder. although, i think thats also attributable to the mass amounts of lotion that i've slathered on my hot skin (and later i was told this is NOT a good idea because the oil locks in the heat). so, the past few days (three to be exact) have been miserable. hopefully by tomorrow i wont be in much pain and the test will go smoothly.

i feel good about tomorrow's test mainly because i've been exclusively studying for it the past four days. as for my other tests (next one is contracts on thursday) i'm not feeling so great. i havent put in any time on them (apart from making poster boards) so i'm starting to get a lot of anxiety. main question - how am i supposed to learn all this material in such a short time??? but, then i think that in 10 1/2 days i will be done with my first year of law school...i can hardly believe this. a whole year of law school?!? unbelievable. it will be nice to be done for a summer and have so much time to spend with joel. i miss him a lot...which brings up another issue - london. should be interesting being away for 4 months.

well, i'll update as the tests come and go. should be an exciting couple of weeks. i have a great study group - amy, john, ben, aaron, and me. we have a lot of fun together and study well together. today we went to lunch at john's garden and then later today we are going to take a full practice test for crim pro (without the multiple choice questions its a two-hour essay exam) and then we are going to talk about what we wrote. should be good and informative.

ciao for now.
