It's Official Now - I Really Graduated

The final grades of law school are in, and I'm very happy with the results. The most important part is that I officially now have 88 credit hours to my name with grades, and that is enough to officially warrant a diploma to be picked up after the bar exam. When I stepped into the fine halls of Moritz College of Law, I had the same goals/expectations as I had when making similar transitions from Frontier district grade schools to Marietta High School, and again when starting at OSU for undergrad. That was, to do my best and hopefully stay within reach of the top of the class. In law school, that meant I wanted to avoid any C's. I feel like sometimes I could have given more effort, but that extra effort would not have provided much more than diminishing returns I think. I sort of struggled with the system first year and split about evenly between A's and B's (high point being Property and low point being Contracts), but after that I managed through a lot of work and a good bit of luck to run through second and third year with nothing lower than a 91 A-. I finished up with a 91 in Professional Responsibility, a 98 in Civil Procedure II, and a 99 in Wills, Trusts, and Estates. This puts me (apparently) at 3.75 GPA and a 94.7 average. Definitely in the Top 10%, might crack the very bottom of Top 5% if someone above me got 3L senioritis. That determination will come later, but it's finally over. No more grades, one more standardized test...and it's finally done!

Now back to that little standardized test prep...
