Test Day 2: property

Half way through this two week battle that we have been preparing for since January, but there is still a substantial number of struggles left. As a friend told me today after our property final, this is like a marathon: you are half way over at mile 20. I was loosing some steam the last couple of days, but I feel energized for civil procedure on monday. I never could get excited about property. Easements and covenants just did not get me excited to want to learn the material, but I have enjoyed the topics in civil procedure this semester. Jurisdiction and choice of law and appeals touched on that philosophical part of my brain that the policies around "touch and concern" just could not, well, touch and concern. Whatever it is I'll take it. I think that is a sign I am going to like constitutional law and evidence (things to look forward to.) Tonight I have some simple plans: vacuum, dishes, clean the misc. papers off the desk , and some t.v.. And what does a law student with a philosophical bent in the middle of finals watch: American Inventor. This show could make any steely eyed cynic cry. It is a blatent television manipulation. I do think these inventors are passionate, but the way the television edits out all of their hours of boring and mudane hard work and only shows their break downs and moments of inspiration makes it for emotional tv. I guess most things are not like tv. Lots of long mundane work for a few minutes of excitement. Sounds like finals, if you can call them excitement.
