Some much-needed validation

[beautifulduckweed]

Holy shit, you guys, my partner and I just won best appellate brief! I guess the two of us made the best arguments for, y'know, allowing the government to waterboard terrorists in a ticking bomb scenario. Hahahahaha.

But yay! My brief advocating an utterly repellent legal stance that I don't remotely believe in was the prettiest of all the pretty ponies. I win!

(By the way, thanks for loaning me your copy of Torture and Democracy and staying up late that one night talking to me about torture issues, lusid2029. <3!)

Also: I'm done with finals. AHHHHHHHHHH DONE WITH FINALS AHHHHHHHHHHHH. I did horribly--and I mean HORRIBLY--in civil procedure. As for the other exams: I don't know. I really don't. I'm pretty sure I'm getting some sort of B variant for most of them, and some kind of C for Civ Pro. The Criminal Procedure final today, in particular, made me think "Wow, I don't see how it was possible to outshine the others in any way." This is an improvement on the conviction I had last semester that I was going to flunk out. Wooo.

And now: working like a motherfucker on the book. Holy shit! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Congratulations on best brief. That is actually huge.

You did fine on the finals. It's impossible to get any perspective just after finishing them. Go and inebriate thyself, and SUPER-DUPER-GNARLY congratulations on that. Dude.

Congrats! I'm still grading--a combination of really good procrastination techniques and the fact that my school email has been out of commission for 10 days!
