Contracts - Outlining !

Contracts is kicking my bum -
definitions, exceptions to the definitions, exceptions to the exceptions, unilateral, bilateral, unilateral morphing [my word] to a bilateral, offer, intent, subjective, objective, acceptance, intent of offer, intent of acceptance.....and the agreement to not enter into a binding contract is a legally binding agreement....does anyone have any asprin??

And our 1L adviser sent us a reminder to keep practicing our outlining because that is the ONLY way we are going to really get to the heart of the concepts and remember them. This is especially true for me because after going out to the commercial outline sites and wandering through the material, I have definitely decided that Dr. H was right and my brain is "wired weird," because none of them made any real sense to me, but then I went back and looked at what I outlined and it was just fine.

**sigh**

So there will be no shortcuts for this 1L because in the end it will just end up being harder and more complicated to do the shortcut rather than knuckle down and do the outlining and briefing to start with.

The good news is that I have passed all my quizzes, and my outlining and briefing looks like it is on target. I am waiting for my 1L facilitator to get back to me on the sample essay I sent to him. I asked him to "critique liberally" but so far have not received a response. I don't know if this is a good sign or a bad sign. I have an essay quiz coming up at the end of the week, so I am really hoping for an answer before then so that I can write a few more practice drafts before the real thing happens.

Happy Monday everyone.
