Well, day one of bar exam hell is in the bag. Whatever the consequences may be, I gave it all I had and it took just as much from me. I feel worn down, beaten with a stick, stuck with a hot poker, or whatever other cliché term you can think of for this particular …

To Hearsay or Not, That is the Question
Whether ‘tis nobler to just agreed with the lazy portion of your mind and finally give up on learning hearsay, or use the memorization tools you had back in elementary school. Today, must to my own amusement of myself, I recalled a time when my Mom was trying to help me remember who discovered the …
367 Flash Cards
I made flash cards for the most important portions of the bar exam, or so I thought. You know a test is very strange when you have 367 flash cards for the “most important” parts. I mean, come on. How many would I have had if I had made a flash card for all of …
It’s the Final Countdown
Well, it’s the final countdown before the bar exam. I have only a few days left to study, and I am trying to make the most of them. I used three more vacation days this week so that I could relax at home, put some things out of my mind from work, and try to …

< 10
For the first time, my “bar exam counter” shows less than 10 days left to study before the bar exam. Scary as that may seem, I know I can do it. I may not pass, but I am giving it everything I have. We will see if it’s enough on September 6 at approximately 4pm. …
You Know You’re Studying for the Bar When…
For those of you who have been there – done that, or those who, for whatever crazy reason have decided to go to law school, this list is for you. You know you’re studying for the bar exam: When you go to a Chinese restaurant, you find yourself wondering if the waitress is somehow there …
Can I Study Outside in the Rain?
I mean, really. I want it to rain the next week and a half so that I can just ignore everything else “fun” that is going on while I study for the bar. If I get one more phone call or email suggesting some fun outdoor activity that I can’t participate in because I am …
