Legally Brunette

For the non-geeks out there, FTW is shorthand for “for the win” – which is geek-speak for “freakin’ awesome”.

Our Torts professor – bless her heart – has assigned us a bunch of CALI exercises  as extra credit for our midterm.  The midterm is worth 15 points, and if we get a 60% or better on 14 specific CALI exercises (mostly dealing with intentional torts), she’ll give us 5 bonus points on our midterm grade.  That’s a HUGE percentage, and a huge relief for us sad little 1L’s who are going ballistic over midterms coming up in three weeks.

Plus, you know, I actually learn stuff when I do the exercises.  Awesome.

I’ve gone through about half of the assigned ones – I need to actually go through them again and use them to make notecards/flashcards for the midterm.  They’re insanely helpful, so try ‘em out.  Seriously.

Of course, the drawback is that I’ve been totally addicted to the immediate feedback that the CALI exercises have, and I’ve done exercises all day instead of actual reading.  So now it’s 8pm and I still need to read.  And I’m tired.  *yawn*  CivPro does not interest me at all – I really should have done that earlier in the day when I was more awake.

Now I’m just procrastinating.  *sigh*  Back to work.
