And on to the next: evidence. Evidence met at 8:13 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I may be a morning person, but it doesn't mean my brain is anything near functional when I wake up. Because I tended to be more of a zombie than a responsive human being on these mornings, evidence was more a lesson in transcription than an active process of learning. Thus, I find myself at the end of the semester with two sets of rules, a forty page outline, and not a clue where to begin. So, I did the only logical thing: I started handwriting my outline while listening to Professor Goode's evidence CDs, condensing, comparing the Texas and federal rules, and coming up with mnemonics: PA-Hear-PICCASO-BROWN (the entire course); BAD-SPLITS-PEPPI-FM (hearsay exceptions); MIAmI-COP (acceptable purposes for offering proof of other bad acts); BICCC (methods of impeachment). Along with my lovely mnemonics, I also have a hand covered in black ink and highlighter of five different colors. I guess we'll call it a productive day?
