Today was an absolutely amazing day. Today was the day we were sworn in by the Arkansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Hannah. It was simply amazing to be part of the group that has come so far from such humble beginnings. I was one of about 152 people who passed the Arkansas Bar Exam in …

The Reason I Have Cried for a Week
I figured out why I have cried every day for the past week. It finally hit me tonight. It is two-fold: listening to sad music I.e., Adele or Queen or whatever, and the thought that all I have hoped for for so long comes down to Friday at 4pm. It's almost like everything else has …
A Time to Live, A Time to Hope, A Time To Cry
Sometimes in life, it’s a time to live. Sometimes, it’s just a time to cry. Sometimes the raw emotion of the day just gets to a person, and that’s the latter. Sometimes it’s being alone for the day, when your mind finally has the opportunity to calm down from the craziness of the day. Sometimes, …

What is the Chance of the Russians Attacking on a Thursday Night?
There are so many great movies out there. A lot of them from the 1980s starred my favorite actor, Tom Hanks. The line in the title block to this post was itself from one of this great movies, The Man with One Red Shoe. This week, the final week before we get bar results, makes …

Back to the Scene of the Crime
Today, for the first time ever, I get to sit out on our back patio and read something I want to read, a.k.a not a law school book. It feels absolutely spectacular outside, both because of my new-found freedom and because the weather is absolutely amazing. This has been both one of the coolest and …
Bar, Over
I am exhausted. The bar is over. It was a long two days, but I gave it my all, my best, and my greatest shot. I don’t honestly think I could give it any more than I did. I feel pretty good about it, but of course, we won’t know how much effort I needed …
Day One is Done, Whatever the Consequences
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 …
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 …
A Change in the Works
Tonight, as I contemplate the final five study days before the bar exam, before me now, I look back at how far I’ve come and how far I’ve yet to go – in life. I had a professor in law school who was amazing. (I had several, but this is the subject of my blog …
