1 Gaudete!

2 You know, you could've slammed a beer in the time it took you to write that post.

3 Even though I gradeeated thirteen years ago, I remember well both the stress of exams and the exhuberance of finishing 'em. Congrats! And if you can read this comment, you're not drunk enough yet.

4 Annie: Well, you made it. Reminder: Next year, work to death; third year, bore to death. We fully expect a listing of grades, by subject, so that we can make meaningless judgments about what you should do after law school. Cal should crunch Tech. Twelve points is not enough; lay the points. Same with USC over Oklahoma, except that Lendell White has a sprained ankle, but is recovering.

5 Amen, and congratulations, Annika. Today is my first real, un-encumbered day off in nearly a year. My wife's at work, and I have a gloriously empty day ahead of me. So, what am I doing? Sitting in one of Austin's best dive coffee bars, having big mugs of hot joe with numerous sides of Irish Whiskey. Merry Christmas, Annika.

6 Congrats on completing your exams! I hated finals in law school. Yes, hated. The grading curve was a sham, some profs were compelled to protect the G.P.A.s of the law review brigade, and it all seemed like more work than it was worth. I should have went to art school.
