Yay I got a 100% on my first final-- business law.

One down, four to go.....
(which explains why I'm procrastinating online )

Congrats, lindz! S. is taking that course next semester. Any advice for him since you apparently aced it? Have you ever taken 17 credits per semester in the Smith School? S. is registered to do that in the fall.

My advice is take it with Judge Lewis (she's great, and lets students use a 1-page "cheat sheet" on exams which is super helpful)... if that's not possible, general advice for the class is to keep up with the readings! This means reading upwards of 50 pages a week, including cases and textbook. It's a lot of material but all the concepts build on each other so understanding what you read before is very helpful.

I haven't taken 17 credits in a few years, but plenty of people do take more than 15 (typically 18-- is your son in a couple of 1-credit classes?) and they seem to do just fine. Group work can get to be a hassle when taking multiple business classes, especially towards the end of the semester.

Just finished my last final of my undergraduate career (since I have no immediate plans to go to grad school, I've been calling it my "last final EVER"!!)

What a relief. I nearly started laughing out loud as I finished my last essay. I'm pleased with myself for staying focused though and studying for this exam just as much as all my others.

Graduation is Thursday the 21st and Friday the 22nd. I think I'll stick around this board for at least another "admissions season" -- it's pretty addictive!
