Thursday, 4:42 pm - 7:07 pm: Proceed to hyperventilate
Thursday, 7:08 pm: After checking the syllabus, all previous emails, and my class notes several times, respond to the email asking what we are supposed to be presenting on, and for how long
Thursday, 7:49 pm: Receive a follow up email, telling us our presentations should run for about 12 minutes, and to be prepared to field questions from professors
Thursday, 7:49pm - 11:00 pm: Proceed to hyperventilate
Friday, 6:30 am: Awake after having a nightmare about forgetting class and missing my presentation
Friday, 11:38 am - 3:25 pm: Spend the day at the law school, studying, attending classes, and having many conversations with fellow students about how unpleasant the presentations sound and complaining about how little notice we were given.
Friday, 6:28 pm: Get an email from another 3L on the journal, announcing that an issue has arisen that requires a mandatory meeting of everyone on the journal (including us 2Ls who have yet to ever see or work on an issue). The meeting is scheduled for Monday, half an hour after our presentations were supposed to begin.
Friday, 6:29 pm: Rejoice, because it looks like our oral presentations will have to be postponed
Friday, 6:30 pm: Fret, because the email never actually says our oral presentations will be postponed. Especially because a professor flew back from London this weekend just so he could attend (and grade) these presentations.
Friday, 6:31 pm: Irrationally decide that a 3L must have overheard me complaining about the journal, and that the meeting is being called to discuss the lack of enthusiasm by 2L members.
Friday, 6:32 pm - Saturday, 9:22 am: Hyperventilate
Plans for the day include more hyperventilating, and preparing my oral presentation because my stomach tells me we'll probably be getting an email soon telling us our presentations have been moved to tomorrow night.
