As many of you read this, I’ll be in a classroom taking the first of four law school finals. Law school finals aren’t much fun. They’re three to four hour ordeals where you pretty much type or write non-stop for the entire time. You leave thinking you did alright, then in the middle of the night you’ll wake up panicked because you think you forgot to discuss an issue. My last final is December 15th. The upside of all this is after this set of finals, I’ll only have one semester of law school left.
Let’s look at some links:

Seven Good Lessons from the Great Depression (@ dumb little man) The economic downturn has everyone worried. Here are some lessons from our grandparents on how to handle an economic crisis.
Wondermark This site is awesome. They take 19th Century engraving images and turn them into greeting cards or comic strips. Of interest to Art of Manliness readers will be their Beards of Our Forefathers book and their manly holiday pins.
Circa History Very cool history site. It has fantastic articles and the site itself is awesome looking. The goal of the site is to “remind citizens that history is instructive.” Check it out and get your learning on. (It’s a bit on the conservative side and they do discuss faith, so if that’s not your thing then don’t check it out)

Brett, I wish you a lot of luck with your finals!
All the best for the finals. Hope all goes well
Brett, I’m my jaw dropped when I realized you’ve been keeping up with this blog AND studying in law school. Good luck!
I wish I had taken more time earlier in the semester to work on Individual Taxation….but I’ll pull through. I’m 1/2 way through school after this round of finals. All downhill from here I hope.
Good luck on your finals Brett.
Law school finals here too. good luck w/ the rest
Kick some ass on those finals.
Ah, law school. Those were the days.
Brett:
Thanks for keeping up with your blog during law school; I always look forward to your tips and tricks on fine tuning the art of manliness. The fact that you manage to keep it fresh and interesting, while contemplating tax, constitutional law and criminal procedure is, in and of itself, evidence (pun intended) of your superlative manliness!
My condolences to your wife as you work your way through finals. I know that I wasn’t much fun for most of the time I was in law school and it only got worse during finals. How my wife put up with me is a testament to her gentle soul and extraordinary patience.
Best of luck with exams; Happy Holidays.
Law school exams should be a breeze for you this late in the law school game. Stop whining, Judges won’t like it and it is not manly. Wait until Bar exam rears its ugly head in your not-to-distant future.
Practicing law and loving it.
