I feel physically sick right now. I just took my second midterm of the semester for my Property class. I wasn’t as nervous about this as I was with the first one, simply because it wasn’t the first one anymore.

My professor has the reputation of making very very very very tricky multistates and fact patterns and the test today completely lived up to his reputation. I just don’t know how I feel about what I’ve done.

One thing that was different for sure was, for the first midterm, my friends and I had made a pact not to talk about what we had each written about with each other or even with other people simply because it would give us peace of mind. We would spare ourselves the torture of comparing our answers to what other people wrote about all the while dreading when we’ll be receiving our midterms.

This time, a girl who was sitting mext to asked me what I had written on at the end of the test. I hesitated because I really didn’t want to share, but I ended up doing it anyway. That was a big mistake because all of a sudden two other people were joining in our conversation. The girl and I left the class feeling horrible because our answers were not like what they had gotten and they basically said that my answer was wrong.

I still tried to make myself feel better by thinking, there must be an ambiguity in the fact pattern, otherwise how could there be so many possible solutions? But toward the end of the day, fear and anxiety broke through and now I’m a complete basketcase. ::sigh::
