Memory Lane: November 29, 2005. Pre-Exam Thoughts

my first set of law school exams are only two weeks away. but as i get ready for exams, by preparing for exams, outlining for exams, preparing for outlines, making outlines to outline our outlines to prepare for exams. i thought i'd take a timeout and in the spirit of terrel owens, think of how i might celebrate the completion of each exam

at the completion of exam #1:

this being the first of four, there is no need to overdo it at right now. so i'm thinking that just as i'm about to hand in my exam paper, i will spike it on the ground. follow that up with a heisman pose in the doorway. if i'm really confident about the way i answered all the questions, i will take the sharpie out that i put in my sock, sign my name at the top of the paper and give it the professor.

at the completion of exam #2:

this is our halftime so i think it is only right that i conduct a halftime like interview with professor charles, where i constantly refer to myself in the third person and use several cliches after another. it would go something like this.

professor charles: "so how did you feel about that exam"

mr.k: "first off all, mr.k would like to thank mom, dad, brother back in toronto, and all mr.k's friends back home. mr.k would also like to thank all the fellow students, professors, faculty, ssg instructors that made it possible to understand all the concepts of the law. mr.k gave the exam 110% but also just took one exam at a time. mr.k approached the exam with the understanding that infact half the exam preparation was 90% mental. we just have to come out in the second half with the same intensity and leave it all on the field, i mean paper. by the way, there is no i in team, and defense wins championships and lawsuits."

at the completion of exam #3:

this is a opportunity to get creative. now only 1 exam to go in the term. hopefully i've built some confidence in my exam taking. i really like chad johnson's marriage proposal to the cheerleader a few weeks ago, and if will help me get an a, as i hand in my exam you might see me ask for prof. sigman's hand in marriage. if that doesn't go as planned, i'm thinking of shooting a video montage like kevin garnett did, which shows him training on the beach barefoot, doing drills wearing a muhammed ali robe and constantly putting up his index finger saying he is number 1 after each drill. i'll do something equivalent to that showing me studying in the library, answering hypotheticals, and doing practise tests all while wu-tang's triump plays in the background. on a side note i recommend that anyone in minneapolis check out a t-wolves game just to see that video, its great.

at the completion of exam #4:

this will mark the end of the term. and i could go all out, but i have decided to go with an o.b.g. (oldie but goodie). at the completing of my final exam, i have decided to celebrate in a classic, tried and true style. when i hand in my final exam, i will celebrate by pouring gatorade over my own head like bill parcells, michael jordan, etc. i will then throw out a couple of whooos, who knows, i might even say i'm going to disney world (or the minneapolis equiavlent, which would be what the amusement park at the mall of america?)

all the best to all my fellow students.
