The Next Day

I was complaining yesterday about how I had finally received my first grade. It was a good grade; not my best, but not far from it. Today, though, I got my second grade - from the class I felt least comfortable in - so imagine my surprise that it turned out to be my first A in law school. I'm rather happy about this. I just need 2 Bs and a B+ now and I will have achieved my first goal for the semester. If I can manage 2 A minuses and a B, then I will have accomplished my secondary goal. It's a little late for me to alter what I've done, but here's hoping I did enough. Cross your fingers for me!

congrats Steve! That's awesome.

Grades are such a crapshoot. Would you believe it if I told you that I actually got a D+ in one of my classes this semeser? Total surprise, kinda knocks the wind out of ya.

I was fortunate enough to get my D+ out of the way first semester of second year. Given the choice, I would have avoided the D+ altogether. The A feels much better.

Sorry about the grade - it sucks that it came in the last semester.

Hope bar studying is going well. I'm doing all right with the multistate questions, and while I know "the answer" with the essays, I don't quite know how to answer them.

CTA grades are up. Exactly what I was expecting, exactly what he gives just about everyone. In fact, I got my last 2 grades today, so that's it for me & law school. I finished average, not strong, but I was expecting that in a semester when I did not give a damn. Congrats on finishing strong yourself, Mr. H!

I can't believe that jerk gave me a B. I worked my ass off in that class.

Focus on the A. Forget that stupid CTA class. It was evil from the get-go, but uh, you got some skillz from it?

I'm not disappointed that I took the class, RHM. I got a lot out of it. I just didn't care for the grade I received in light of the effort I not only put in to preparing for class, but that I know I performed more and better than others in the class and I got the same grade as they did (or possibly lower).

I mean, I never skipped class because I wasn't prepared, as 3 of our classmates did.

And I still haven't attempted to buy a skyscraper for the homeless masses to sell T-shirts in.
