finals rant,etc

So I am officially in the middle of my ODC finals preparation stage. Yesterday's feature, a 5 hour outlining section over one chapter in my Payment systems book. If anything, payment systems is worse than tax, because it is pretty easy to sort your tax outline out into sections and then tack on the subsequent cases. Payments Systems is different because you almost have to sort the UCC out into subject areas and then tack on the cases that fall under the code that fall under that subject area. What makes it worse is that each code has like 15 different examples that fall after it. My OCD side wants to put the examples in my outline, but my sane side knows that it's just me being melodramatic. Something still is not fitting in though and it worries me. As I read over the example essay questions, I know that I could FIND the answer in my outline and I know that I have covered it already, but I don't outright KNOW the answer and that's what bothers me. I don't like classes that allow us to take out outlines into class because I become to dependent on putting the answer on paper and not in my head. I'm going to meet with my professor on Thursday and I think I'm just going to lay it out for her, "I'm going to get an A in this class or die trying." In all honesty there is NO reason for me to get anything lower. There are only 8 chapters in the book and the book is only like 360 pages long so there is no God given reason as to why I can't know that book inside and out.
