Act with alacrity!
Adding insult to injury, our BarBri course finished up today with a 6-hour marathon with Professor Mike Spak on Sales (which we’d already covered during the 3-day contracts lecture weeks ago) and Commercial Paper. I wanted to poke out my eyes.
I’d never looked at the law of commercial paper before but I’m still stunned speechless at how the good professor could stretch the rules governing checks and promissory notes into three freaking hours of fill-in-the-blank fun. I wouldn’t care except that this topic will almost certainly show up on an essay, a fact which gives rise to a desire to tell the bar examiners to take some commercial paper and shove it up thei….
Or maybe my frustration would be better focused on the MT BarBri planners who decided it was a good idea to hold classes all the way up until three days before the actual exam. Meanwhile, we’ve had nearly every Friday off since classes began. Here’s a suggestion for next year: Have classes on Fridays so that students will be finished covering new material with more than three days left before they have to actually apply it on the exam. Oh, and use a Saturday to hold a simulated MBE. Sheesh.
Whatever. I’m sure I’m just frazzed b/c time is almost up. Three more days just does not seem like enough time!! But panic is pointless, right? The difficult thing right now is just trying to figure out what to do to make the most of the little time left. I heard similar complaints from people in class today. What will be most likely to get you just a few more points come Monday (and Tuesday, and Wednesday)? I’ve done only a few essays and that’s 50% of the test. Maybe I should do a few more?
Thanks to Blonde Justice and Woman of the Law for the kind wishes. A week from now it’ll all be over but the shouting (results)…
p.s.: Audacity understands perfectly…

Read whatever practice essays you didn’t get to and their answers, you never know what might sink in.

I think the MT head of BAR/BRI needs to re-think a lot about his/her program — 3 days between the end of classes and the actual exam is absolutely ridiculous!

After I sat through 9 hours of Spak (Sales, Commercial Paper and Secured Transactions) then took what I learned and tried to work the essays, it looks to me like Spak ripped off BarBri. I’ve been freaking out about ComPap and SecTrans so much I’ve forgotten to learn Family Law and relearn Corporations. Oh, well, my essay exam starts at 1:30 tomorrow. Once that’s over I’ll be happy even though the MBE awaits on Wednesday. Good luck, Todd.
