It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Via pinterest; but might as well have been taken in the WFG lawbrary, forrealz.

Finals week(s) begin Monday!

Just a few facts for those of you new to the law school final biz:

Finals are your only grade in most law school classes.

They are typically three to four hours in duration (a piece).

While taking one, they feel like thirteen to fourteen minutes in duration (cumulatively).

I have two exams during finals time this year (since my writing grade comes in brief form, as does my seminar; and military law and juvenile courts finals were taken in weeks prior. woop.)

Not having five finals during the next two weeks can be filed under the "Thank the good lawdy I'm not a 1L anymore" folder, along with approximately 123497135160 cites.

However, I must stay the course and not join the "I'm a 2L which means I'm almost a 3L which means I can lean towards the apathetic side of my studies here in law school" temptors.

So I have been studying lots this week in preparation for the weeks ahead. :)

So what all does this include?

Oh you know, the regulars:

Highlighters
Ear plugs
Flashcards
Resisting the urge to Christmas shop
Outlines
Pandora radio
Random dance breaks
Missing watching the Tigers play in the ACC championship 30 minutes from my house tonight because I have a huge final in two days DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT :)
Early morning workouts
Resisting the urge to Christmas shop
Legal pads
Practice problems
Study groups
Resisting the urge to Christmas shop
Allowing myself a second cup of coffee
Book tabbing
Resisting the urge....taking a random trip to Target to keep my sanity
And maybe do some Christmas shopping?

Good luck to all my 2L gals in the midst of their finals weeks!
I know exactly where you are and am praying for you lots.
For everyone else, I'm praying for you too- whether it be your jobs, families, and the like. :)

As always, thanks for reading!
I sure do love ya-
