It's been a quiet Saturday. I completed my final exam yesterday. There are still two more papers due next week, but at least the exam is behind me. The only noise around the house today has been the voices inside my head. Even now, as I'm tapping out this message, I am watching my Tarheels with the sound muted.
After being in law school for three years, I totally understand what is expected of me during exam season; but, knowing that, only makes it worse. Even though I dread the thought of writing two more papers before I can put a "closed" sign on this semester, I would rather be tortured with a paper than with an exam.
The good news is that there's only one more semester of exams and then this journey is through. I will feel this way one more time--in May--oh, and probably again in July, after the bar exam. Once again I will be warring with the voices in my head that I did my best, I gave my all, and it's out of my hands now. I will also remember how totally spent I am when the exam is over--how completely drained I am of energy and thought.
A few more pages, a few more papers, a few more exams, and sixteen weeks later, this journey is done.
