One more...only have to hang on until the end of the week. This one was more like a marathon than a test. While it's great that a professor will give the students 8 hours to take the 4 hour exam in order to be non-time pressured, when you subvert the spirit of test by attaching strange rules, like not allowing more than 16 oz. of water only and no food, it turns into something else entirely. Oh, and no more than one person can leave the room at once. With 80 people in the room, it makes for an interesting group dynamic. I worked 4 1/2 hours, including the time I took to review the exam, but honestly I don't feel like I did enough to prove I learned a year's worth of Contracts. And where were the third party beneficiaries? And the warranty of merchantability? I'll be living on pins and needles until the grades are posted. I really need to know if my life as a law student can go on, or whether I've crashed and burned spectacularly. My study group seems to think I really shouldn't fret about this, but I don't think they truly understand the position I'm in here.
