Cemoralized

Summer grades are in. I have my first law school C, and I am super angry about it. I caved under pressure on the Criminal Procedure test and wrote a bad answer to a question that should have been easy. To some extent, I blame the summer schedule. I found it tougher to perform on a 6:00 PM test than on a 10:00 AM test (it was one of those situations where I woke up the next morning with the "right" essay in my head. I've been dreading this grade ever since). For the first time, I feel victimized by the one-test-one-grade system. This is going to haunt me for a long time, because it more or less permanently eliminates me from competition for the top of the class.
