Enlightenment

Was informed I was getting my Contracts mid-term back today. Oh boy. Couldn't wait.

One theme: lots of red pen. Chickenscratch. Scanning, scanning, scanning. Found something legible.

"It is clear that you have misconceived the problem as presented and that you do not have a basic understanding of the principle of constructive conditions."

Uh oh. Final in a month.

Two problems with what the professor wrote. First, the problem had nothing to do with constructive conditions. I was unable to figure out what was going on so I attempted to write about a legal principle and make it fit the fact pattern. Oops. Wrong approach.

Second, I wasn't even able to correctly write about the legal principle that I thought I knew. Not a good sign.

A wise lawyer once told me "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t". I tried. I failed.

Not much time.
