Default Pre-exam Tradition

So I went out and drove my car (which I very rarely do now because of school) before my first Law school exam. I think this is going to be tradition for me because I was able to calm down and it is always a pleasure driving my car around, even though the roads in alachua county are caca at times.

Nobody passed out, started crying, nor got sick in the first exam. Yes, these things have happened in previous semesters. 3 more to go. In case michelleJD reads this, it was P.R. which is graded 1st semester at UF now. I guess they are concerned about ethics.

Anybody else got a tradition like this?

Glad I'm not the only one who does this! I believe my wife thinks I'm crazy. Whenever I need to get out of the house for a little bit, just to clear my mind or calm down from being ticked about something, I'll take my car out for a quick spin. Don't know why, but for me, it seems to work. I just make sure I'm not doing anything stupid or not thinking clearly when I drive.

When I drive when I am angry, I usually end up scaring myself and being an A hole. For me it’s far better to walk

Gator,
I'm about to take my first law exam of the semester (enviornmental) in literally 11 minutes. Hope it worked out well for you. I'm taking PR next semester. Good luck with the remainder of your exams!

Maciek,

We get 2.5 days in between each exam, 3.5 on weekends. Got criminal on thursday, which you can't study for really. Torts then contracts on May 5. We are having a big party with both section 1 and section 2, with an inflatable slip and slide and a bouncy house. It will be a lot of fun watching the kids that never went out the whole term drink their faces off.

Then, I finally get a chance to work on my car. Needs vacuum help, new bias valve for the brakes, bleed brakes for June DE.

Just don't go driving N of G'ville. Got popped my an unmarked Alachua Sherrif a week ago. Hehe he only got me for 81 in a 65. Bastrd. To9 think I made it sefely through Waldo and THEN get popped. Cripes. (Atleast he only got me for the 16 mph over, rather than the 30 he could have hit me for earlier. 183.00 ticket. Can you do the driving course in Duval, or must it be done in Alachua?) Anyway, good luck w exams. You too Maciek. No further info on Leda's. Saving for engine first.

Ehall, you can do driver school in france for florida, because you can now do it on the internet. Don't go to the live class. It is horribletown. Do it online.
