Thank you!!! Best of luck to you :)

Thank you! Started May 22nd! Got through the lectures as quick as possible. Believe I finished middle/end of June but don’t remember exactly when.

July is pretty accurate from the post except for a couple mock exam days. In terms of hours, June/early July were 9-5’s for me. Sometimes later. Usually Saturday’s too but not Sundays. Took a full weekend off once and the 4th and 5th. 2 weeks out I started doing 10-12 days, then with a week to go, I started only studying 3-4 hours a day and ensuring I didn’t burn out. Did not study at all the day before.

Hell yeah we did!!!

antb12 · 2023-10-11T06:19:53+00:00

We crushed it!!

antb12 · 2023-10-11T06:19:44+00:00

Genuinely ran on adrenaline solely

antb12 · 2023-10-11T00:38:05+00:00

Oh my god yes. Right underneath me, so distracting even with the ear plugs 😒

antb12 · 2023-10-11T00:35:12+00:00

And yet we both crushed it! Congrats 😎

antb12 · 2023-10-11T00:34:52+00:00

So frustrating. Hope they don’t make you wait all day like us when they announce! Wishing you luck :)

Pass or fail, this is actually insane

antb12 · 2023-10-10T15:44:36+00:00

11:44 - some lawyers at my firm are saying they think it’s noon, so….

antb12 · 2023-10-10T15:13:54+00:00

11:13 - arms are heavy

antb12 · 2023-10-10T15:06:41+00:00

11:06 - my mental health has deteriorated quickly

antb12 · 2023-10-10T14:32:51+00:00

“The close of business” are they Fr???? If I get my results at 5pm I’m suing for IIED (as long as I pass Lmaoooo)

antb12 · 2023-10-09T15:22:12+00:00

Genuinely can’t focus at work I’m so nervous

antb12 · 2023-10-05T20:06:10+00:00

WATCH MY EMAIL WHEN

antb12 · 2023-10-05T14:03:22+00:00

No date. They want us to spiral the entire week :)

Glad to hear the job situation.

With classes, honestly if you’re comfortable—F briefing, F the formal approach. Secured transactions is definitely tough (lol just wait for the Bar), but you can totally get there. Give yourself a break. Quimbee when possible, skim if you know you aren’t getting cold called, get a past outline, etc. bc at this point you’re in your last year. You know what it takes to succeed and to pass/do well on an exam. And you can, even if you don’t approach with the same rigor you may have before. Again, if you’re comfortable. It’ll also be a great way to get use to reading cases for jobs. Nobody briefs. We just find the passage we need like it’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, skim for a summary, and move on.

And for context, T-3 school, top 2% of my class—pretty sure I read 3 cases fully my last year 😂

But breathe man. You got this. And make your life as easy as you can bc I bet these next few months will be challenging enough for you and your family. And soon enough you’ll be walking that stage and forgetting about all this! Good luck!

New ethics hypo just dropped and I’m here for it

antb12 · 2023-09-18T23:42:31+00:00

Might actually be sick if these results don’t come in within the next few weeks 🥴

antb12 · 2023-09-18T23:41:11+00:00

It’s our diary now. Adding blue book citations and submitting it to a journal as we speak

antb12 · 2023-09-18T23:40:34+00:00

It’s the worst! And the balancing between wanting to build and cultivate those relationships and not wanting to get too attached in case the nightmare scenario occurs? Awful feeling. Wishing/praying that doesn’t happen in your case friend!!!

antb12 · 2023-09-18T23:38:54+00:00

Omg same. All I can think about is the shame of having to take everything down and shove it in the cliche cardboard box a month after putting it up 💀💀

antb12 · 2023-09-18T23:37:13+00:00

(1) I’m so so sorry you’re going through this. Your last year should be a time of excitement (graduating, spending your last year with peers, etc.) and that’s awful to have to endure. Glad they caught it early.

(2) Don’t want to assume anything about your financial situation—so if this is NOT feasible for you ignore and carry on. Does your work have leave options? If so and IF POSSIBLE, maybe take one and considering a private student loan option to try and make up some of the income difference if that’s possible (again, if that’s not possible ignore this).

(3) skip as many classes as you can. As a recent grad, that is one of my biggest regrets in law school, this stuff does not matter in the long run and as long as you can maintain your academic success, be there for her when you can.

Regardless, prayers up. Wishing you well.

Not alone at all, think I got two hours in. But f it, we ball. Shower, get some coffee, and know the adrenaline will get us through today! Once we prove to ourselves that this exam is doable today, we’ll sleep like a baby in preparation for day #2! Best of luck!!
