Law Class My ….. …… butt.

So I’m in two law classes right now.  One of which appears hard, the other appears easy.  It’s funny how the one that appears hard is the beginner class eh?  Well I was wrong… one isn’t hard…. they BOTH ARE!  Nay… not “hard”…. but “impossible to get an A”…. or B…..

I’m someone to whom school has always come easy.  I rarely study, soak up facts and information like a sponge, and ace my way through tough classes in my sleep.  (insert pride here)  But now that I’m in Legal Studies (LEGS) 301 and 423…. I’ve met my match.  I only pray I pull outta these with C’s in them both.

LEGS 301 – Taught by a lawyer who owns a second home in Vegas.  She and her husband both dress like Vegas performers (not kidding) and are so incredibly intelligent that it makes Steven Hawking look like Elmo.  I percieved this class as tough and I was right.  I’ve taken two quizzes and scored 57% and 93%.  The one test that I studied for 3 hours for and thought I aced?  Yeah…. 63%.  God help me.

LEGS 423 – Taught by a conservative mother of a 9 year old son.  She is also a lawyer, but down to earth.  She dresses normal, is extremely friendly, intelligent, and interesting.  I thought this class wouldn’t be that bad…. wrong.  We don’t have homework, or quizzes…. All we’ve been graded on is 2 reports and our tests.  Test 1 was an easy A in my mind… not in hers.  13.5 out of 20…. The entire class is only 100 points.  So I’ve already been knocked down to a 92.5% at best.  OUCH!  Now I have a MASSIVE take home exam to do…. This sucks.

Lesson of the day:  Despite the funny name, LEGS classes are harder to do well in than farting in a jacuzzi and getting caught.

Mood:  Screwed.
