It was Civil Procedure, but I'm just really enjoying school in general right now.

Got my grades back... Very surprised in a good way. Got an A- in Legal Profession (ethics). That may have been the highest grade in that class. The others I did mostly above average in. May be enough for Dean's List. We'll see.

I wish you could get Dean's List that easily here - I think the cutoff for 2Ls is around a 3.7.

Well, the GPAs here are weighted down. At one time, I was #5 in my class with my average being somewhere between a B and a B+. After my grades this semester, I'll have a B- or so and probably be somewhere in the top 25%. To give you some idea, out of a class of 50, usually, not more than 7 people will make a B or higher. They do this at a lot of private schools to discourage transfers because when the top guy in our class (who has a B+ average) transfers to a school like yours, his GPA from here will kill his rank over there.

Weird...my school is private too but our 1L GPA is roughly a B- and our 2L and 3L is generally a B. I got B+s or better in all but one class last semester and I'm towards the middle of the class.

That's great. I got one grade back, and it was exactly what I thought it would be; we don't get the rest of our grades until February.
