Crunch time

It's 30 minutes until the start of my Jurisdiction exam. No pressure. Ok, let's go down the check list.

1. Gum, check
2. food, check. m & m's
3. exam number, check
4. examsoft log in so I can type my piece of shit 10 page answer instead of write it and have joint problems for the rest of my life, check on examsoft, no check on arthritis
5. pencil for scantron, check. I hate scantron
6. pen to sign in, check. Like they don't know I'm here
7. chapstick for dry lips, check
8. bottled water, check.
9. laptop, check. pretty important detail
10. knowledge of Subject matter jurisdiction, check.
11. knowledge of any other kind of jurisdiction, venue, choice of law issue. no check.

I'm in trouble. I have more food/drink/oral fixation items than actual knowledge of the law. I really hope my obnoxious chomping on my gum helps me remember something about in personam, in rem, quasi in rem 1, and quasi in rem 2 personal jurisdiction. I'm having a heart attack just thinking about vertical choice of law questions. What is Erie again?

My real question is, after all this stress, how did I become the DD tonight? Oh, sweet Vodka!
