Seeing as though I am only attending one law school, I do not know how others do exams.

Last year, 1L, we had a "reading week" before "exam week." It was really about 4 days, b/c our first exam was often on the Friday of reading week, and then our other exams were Monday and Weds. of the next week. It was a very useful week. It was when I started and completed all of my outlines.

Now that I'm all grown up as a 2L, i've shifted from semesters to quarters (my school is weird), and we lost reading week.

How do other schools do it? Do they continue to have a reading week? I really want mine back.

This was okay in the fall, b/c for me, exam week was just finishing papers and take home exams, with only one sit-down exam (Evidence). This quarter, however, I have Federal Courts and Employment Law, as well as take homes in Administrative Law and Corporations. Administrative Law is a GROUP take home, which of course kind of shrinks the time, b/c I can only work on it as others are available. And since the Corporations exam will much be like pulling out my own teeth, I don't anticipate it going quickly.

I am really missing reading week. And not having it, I'm freaking out. Exams are May 15th, though. It is HIGHLY unlike me, Zuska, to start stressing a full 2 weeks before an exam. I'm a procrastinator, and a cruncher. But I feel like I need to start NOW. And I am starting NOW.

Seriously - Fed Courts ends on Thursday. It will be a PACKED class, as they all are, and then the exam is the very next Monday!! That is INSANE!!!

I'm outlining Employment Law right now, and tomorrow Beloved and I have worked out a schedule wherein I can work on my Fed Courts outline all morning. Then I will go home and clean the girls' room for the sake of book group with Thing Two at our house this week. Such joy and rapture, I cannot even contain myself.

What a sexxxy weekend!!
