Embezzling Mike's oranges

Before the concert the other night we sat around in the parking lot for a while, studying. Mike was sitting on his backpack, so I offered to put his oranges in my backpack instead so they wouldn't get squashed. Then I forgot to give them back. But being the good little pedantic law student that I am, I called him up the next day to get his consent to consume his oranges. I didn't want to be liable for having impermissibly converted them, or, worse, imprisoned for having embezzled them. Did you know that if I'd eaten them that would have been the crime? No? Well, good thing you're not taking the bar then...

Anyway, the studying is inadvertently winding down. There's a lot of mental fatigue and I'm now progressing really slowly. Plus today is a frenzy because I leave for the bar tomorrow and need to pack and prepare generally for being away a week. So the agenda for today is to get through the rest of the NY questions I've been working on (which is a good, albeit annoying, way to review NY subjects), and then today and tomorrow do what I can with another round of MBE questions, some NY essays, and some light reviewing of the final study document.

But I think it's perhaps more important to de-stress than to try to cram. Even if I had to do the test today I might do ok, and I think there's the very real danger that while I might learn more if I cram between now and then, I also might forget more by seizing up in a panicked paralysis. Now is the time to start having faith in myself, I think, and just do the minimum of what I need to keep from getting rusty.
