Legal Problems
I just got my law midterm back today.
It sucked. It was totally lower than I expected. Sure, it's a "B" grade, but it's total crap when I am aiming for an "A". I cannot afford to have a "B" in any course, not if I want to gain the attention of recruiters. This program is my last chance to get the job I want, the kind of job where I can put my best skills to use. Now, I've effectively screwed up half the course. Maybe I should give up and stop caring. After all, I'm going to be an accountant, and even if I get 100% in law, I'd still need to consult a lawyer for legal matters anyway.
Participation's not a problem, as I've given the prof ample discussion about cases I've read before class. It has gotten to the point that now, even if I haven't read the case, I'll still put my hand up and the prof will give me credit but pick someone else to discuss, instead of calling my bluff. But then again, I do back it up by asking and answering a lot of questions in class.
If I ever want to express my indifference, when the prof talks about the final exam in class, maybe I'll ask if calculators are allowed.

Don't sweat it. The first pop quiz is always harder than midterms, and midterms are always harder than finals (which always have give-away questions lest you fail anyway). I think it's a ruse they use to scare you into studying hard from the beginning.
Thanks for the advice. I've managed to pull off an A- in the whole course. I was really aiming for an A, but this will have to do, I guess.
Yes, I'm REALLY behind on my blog entries!
