Bar Shmar?

After 3 grueling days (that's 18 torturous hours) of exam, I'm finally freakin' done. It was a violation. An assault. It seems like the entire goal was to instill fear and humiliation. And I am very very tired but very very relieved. I sincerely hope that is the last time I have to do that.

Okay here's a post!

This morning I got up nice and early (yeah at 745), showered, tried on about 7 shirts, settled on one that didn't look that good but didn't look as bad as the other 6, put on a sweatshirt (even though it is a gazzillion degree I still refuse to admit it is summer because I am never exposed to the sun), slapped on a little makeup so I don't have to feel like a grotesque monster when I'm sitting by myself in a study room in the law library, packed a lunched, heaved my heavy backpack and laptop bag on my already burdened shoulders, and snatched up my lunch bag and coffee mug that was filled to the brim with black sweetened coffee. I did not put creamer in the coffee because we are running low and time is of the essence (are those clauses valid if added orally during the execution of the contract? oh parol evidence, i have yet to learn you!). I figured I would mooch off the slug who runs the cafeteria here at school. (Sorry Ralph if you read this.) To my dismay, I wrongfully relied to my detriment that the cafeteria would be open so I am creamless and more importantly breakfastless. I did, however, bring 2 granola bars in case such a famine would arise. About 1/2 the things I carry around with me are totally useless (bandaids, a ceramic rabbit, about 20 highlighters, entire bag of carrots, etc.) but I really like to be prepared. And I kind of don't like going outside so I like to feel I could be ready to face my very worst foreseeable fear (which is gangrene but I am not prepared for that). Unfortunately, the granola bar has a terrible after-taste. Almost like cheese. And although I like cheese, I do not like my granola bar tasting like cheese. The whole thing is strange because the cheese I have at home doesn't taste like cheese. Maybe I should put the granola bars where the cheese is in the fridge and just put the cheese up in the cabinet in the granola bar box. Now, that's an idea!
I am currently cooped up in a study room in the library that is approximately 6x6 and chock full of 7 chairs which I had to rearrange because they weren't the way they were yesterday when I got this very same room. And I'm just going to go back to the books. Today on tap is Crim Law, Crim Pro, Con Law fun-review, and an introduction to Secured Transactions and Commercial Papers.

just a reminder

hey there kids,
i'm still studying for the bar. i won't be around until next week. maybe late next week because we're moving right after the bar!

Here's A Thought

Do you like Picasso? So does Costco.

My Dad

My dad was ALSO in the NYTimes this week. That makes the two of us! So exciting.
Here is a picture from the article.
Guess which one is my dad... (comments please!)

Light on the Lame, Heavy on the Fame

My blog was mentioned in the NYTimes today! Pretty cool.

I can reduce ANYTHING into a colorful chart

I'm not kidding. If something is half-way logical, I can reduce it to a colorful chart.

Here's constitutional law:


And here is the rest of con law plus another one about defeasible estates (on my kitchen cabinets - pretty sweet decor, huh?)

Where I've Been

I haven't been around and don't expect to be very much over the next couple of weeks. This bar review owns every minute of my life. They even tell us when to schedule in breathing.

3 hours review New York Property Notes;
.5 minutes breathe;
17 hours listen to jerks on video

I can't even remember when the last time I showered was -- I think they forgot to put it on the schedule.

Will there be a SHOWDOWN?

As some of you may know, my sweetheart is Ryan of If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower. He has been advocating, on his blog, the television premiere of Sharpe James (he's the real deal) which airs tonight at 10pm on PBS. On the other hand, I *LOVE* inane comedy. The Comedy Central show Stella will be on at the very same time. We only have one television. The question is: Will it be a SHOWDOWN?

I got a new coach bag

For a vegetarian, I really ought to look into my love of leather bags. Anyway, we went to the Coach Factory store in Woodbury Commons Friday and I got this bag that was on sale for 169 w/ 50% off of that! I couldn't not get it. How could I?
