First exam today. It was one of those tests where you know the major issues you're SUPPOSED to be addressing, but you really really really honestly can't find them in the facts presented to you. Whee. The only good thing is that while I don't discuss exams once they're done (take a hint, gaggle of 3L women who instantly started post-morteming the thing while still in the testing room - could you at least wait till you get outside?), my sense is that many of my classmates shared my bewilderment. I'm thinking, though, that this is one of the times I should be grateful for the curve (not because it's going to put me ahead of any of my classmates, but because I'm thinking my raw score would be about 60%, if I'm lucky).
So I stopped on the way home and bought bread, cheese, and chocolate. And I came home and ate it. And then I painted my nails with apple green tips and an iridescent top coat (I protest finals with non-lawyerly colors of nail polish). And I've accomplished nothing else today since. Rock on.
I want apple green nail polish! What color did you use? Was it opi?
Best of luck surviving the end of the semester, NK. :D

yum, bread and chocolate. Am I crazy to put nutella on french bread and think it's the best?

I absolutely agree that dissecting your answers to an exam you've just taken in incredibly unhelpful! Still, it does't seem to stop students from doing it every single time!!
Best of luck for your remaining exams! :-)

ugh, I hate the people who start discussing the exam right away. I run away from them. I had a couple of lovely people in my section last semester who were always magically done before me. They'd be outside smoking already when I left, and they would hand me a cigarette on the condition that there be no discussion of the exam. I've got to say, I think the cigarette was a lot better for my health than an exam post-mortem would have been.

Belated thanks for the comments, everyone!
Signofthewolf, the apple green is an Orly called Green Apple. A little streaky, but a pretty color!
dance, nutella on French bread IS the best. I try not to buy nutella very often, because I'll eat half the jar at a sitting, but yeah, delicious!
