With the semester begging to draw to a close and spring break all but over, I figured this would be a good time finally check my grades. Go back and see how I did last semester and what it might tell me about how to prepare this time around. I'm almost disappointed to report that there were no surprises on my transcript. I wound up in the middle of the distribution, with the variations I expected. I did better in the classes I liked more, scoring highest in Torts and lowest in Civil Procedure (and looking at the course evaluations, I can see I was far from alone in my opinion of the professor). Overall that's probably a good pattern for my mental health - do what you enjoy, because you'll be better at it.
So in all I'm happy (I'm much more comfortable with "contextual mediocrity" than Amber seems to be, especially since I'm in a fairly heady context), my suspicions have been confirmed and I won't have to wildly correct course next month. And I'm glad I waited this long to check my grades, because it forced some long-term perspective into the situation, and let me neatly dodge the horse-race neuroses at the beginning of the semester.
