Emily's Adventures in Wonderland

MY FINAL IS OVER.

I feel like my life is over too. I am so scared for my grades. I thought I did ok while I was taking the exam ( always a bad sign) and it turns out I did one bad thing on each essay. (This is for Criminal Law)

On the first one I did not discuss the fact that the bartender got the guy drunk on purpose. (They got him drunk, stole his wallet and then he got into an accident and killed 2 people.) So I guess i was supposed to mention the fact that the bartender had the ability to get him drunk. I didn't really realize that when I wrote the paper and just slapped a little line in at the end that if the bartender could somehow be found responsible, he would be found guilty of all of the drunk guy's crimes.

And then on the second question there was an assault with a deadly weapon, and then the guy died. So I initially decided not to write on the ADW, and then when I finished the last essay went back in and added it, but didn't finish. Also, I wrote the paper in a funny order. It just made so much more sense to me to write MUrder, then Defenses, and then Voluntary manslaughter because the murder could be mitigated down to manslaughter but that wouldn't make sense unless you read my defense section first. I don't know if he will dock for that. I just did not like it the other way.

THen on the last essay I missed the boat completely and I am getting more and more upset. It was a question about negative acts- which is failure to act? So this guy goes to jail because his friend ratted him out. He swears to "kill him" the first chance he gets. So after he gets out of prison the rat calls him and says he's trapped under a car because the jack broke while he was changing the tire and he's trapped. Mr Criminal agrees to call 911. but he doesn't.

I wrote the negative acts part like it was a crime in itself, but apparently I was supposed to write an attempted murder discussion because he said he was going to "kill him" the first chance he got, and then failed ot act to save him so he tried to kill him essentially. I didn't get that when I was writing it. I didn't understand, and I didn't udnerstand why the intro about killing him was even there.

i am getting more upset. I wrote good papers, but I missed issues. RICE AND BEANS. :(

i am so sad and scared I realy need a B+ on this exam and I don't think there is any way I got it. So if Ididn't get it, then I am going to have to get B-'s in Torts and Contracts and I don't think that's realistic. And then I will flunk out again. I then I will crawl in a hole and cry.

I am worried.

On a funny note, I got home late, and my cats decided that this was unacceptable behavior on my part so they dumped a glass of water on my head while I was sleeping. Not kidding! It was on my headboard, and Amelia stuck her paw in the glass and dumped it on me.

I am going to make her call granny (the family therapist) and talk about this unacceptable behavior towards her Mommy!
