Don't Stress About Exams?

Prof. Civ Pro (I'm using Katherine's system for identifying real people here) is the latest in a line of professors who have said not to stress about the exams until at least halfway through the term. Is this good advice? At the moment, I don't trust it.

When I have an answer to this question, it'll be posted under Letters to Wormwood. (This reference added for the benefit of future JD2B's here.)

Didn't know you'd read CS Lewis... cool. :-)
Prof Civ.Pro. is right. Don't worry about exams until midway through, at least. You're climbing a mountain and when you get above the treeline you'll want to look at the landscape and gauge how far you've come and how much further you need to go and what the heck the lay of the land really is. But for now, look down, keep your feet in front of you, and don't trip on the rocks and the roots. Enjoy....
Thank you for the advice--and the sterling metaphor. And I'll express some small amount of amazement that I have a reader in a real, live law firm. Welcome to the site.
