thanks man!..and WELL SAID! last semester i had torts, contracts and crim. law. our legal research and writing class was a year long...my final "memo" was handed in about a month ago. thanks god thats over. wow-you guys really finished early. we dont even start exams until next week. by the way my email is in my profile...if you ever want to chat or compare notes shoot me an email..since from what i understand all law schools teach the same courses the same way-with slight differences.

Last few hours before my hell week. Starting tomorrow, I will be doing homework at least 10 hours a day for at least 10 days. 5 hour energy here I come.

I am going through my hell week right now and it's not even the finals. It's called professors squeezing in one more midterm two weeks before finals. I've had 3 research papers and three tests within 7 days of each other. My finals should be over by the 13th, though I'm trying to take one early so I can be done with by the 8th. Good luck to those of you who are taking finals

Ditto. My finals don't start till the 6th. But I have my final capstone presentation on the 1st. We're presenting a construction project to a few large firms. Very stressfull. To all you Law majors, idk how you do it. I took law of contracts last semester and construction law this semester and it couldn't get any drier. :snore: |

Good luck to all the STUDs during finals. I am fortunately on the other side of the equation. I have built a Kick Butt Final for my Business class and even worked in the Cuban embargo into the bonus question. What get sick Look at how much aid to Cuba the US sends. This embargo should go. Study hard it pays off.
Time on this earth is all we are given. How to spend it... is up to you. The rest, you gotta earn.

Just saw this...I've got nothing that I prefer late-night...but I usually go for smaller cigars the later it gets, just because in the wee hours, time becomes more precious! What school are you at in St. Paul? I may look to transfer to the twin cities... jag |

So, I just got my schedule here down at UT, I will finish by May 12th, but between that time I will have 4 papers due and also the four final exams. This sucks! Oh, and I'm working fulltime when I get back home starting the 14th...

Thanks! and good luck to you, too. I will definitely treat myself to a nice cigar after all this is done, a Coronado by La Flor DC sounds really good, I am just completely obsessed with that cigar now.

Sure they do. Maybe not always, but far more often than other schools. |
