Property grades can't be posted online apparently, so we will just get our exams back on Monday. I can live with that (considering most other professors take a month to get anything back to us).

I got caught up on my reading this morning, so now I need to concentrate on 3 things: getting ready for the March 30 Bus. Org. final, preparing for my Aprill 11 trial, and getting my outlines together for my 3 other classes. Gonna be busy!
