Wings on my Heels?

I wrote my three hour Corporate Law exam today. It was brutal. Bru-tal. I have no idea how I did: it could be a real good mark (doubtful) or a really bad mark. After writing it, a bunch of us went to the grad pub for a drink and then I tried to get to work on my paper. This is a paper I have been working on for three months and I am no closer to a good, solid product then it was when I started. I looked at it for a few hours and then put it away.

Now, I have three full days to finish this paper and hand it in. I am quite sure my very well-meaning and hard marking professior is going to be disappointed with me. There is just something about the research involved in law that I don't get as a law student. I have trouble spotting the implied law, the unseen issues, issues that practicing lawyers have experience with and I don't. I am not a great legal mind but I am not a quitter. I have tenancity and drive and I am going to get through this, I am going to finish law school and start my career.

In the meantime, this was the music running through my head as I sat for my exam this morning.

I ended up getting an A plus on that paper, the highest grade in the class. Huh.
