Tweet Beginning the summer with much higher aspirations, I believe that I have found my de facto study method for the bar...

Killed...

Tweet Bar Prep started today. BAR/BRI four hours a day in class and ??? hours outside of class until July 11, and then two weeks of hell before the big days July 26 and 27! As most of law school went, some people are freaking out, some people are acting cool but freaking out internally, and others are just not really paying attention. Turning on the hard core studying a little over a week after we graduated is a real challenge, but I am up to it. Sorry the posts have been sparse. After graduation, I was...

Pause...

Tweet In a few short hours, I am going to walk across the stage and be graduated from my college as a Doctor of Jurisprudence.  Most of my colleagues will join me to walk.  A few will not. Sure, graduation is a highly choreographed event that has little actual relevance, but these grand celebrations season an otherwise bland life.  We pause ordinary time and transform it from ordinary into extraordinary.  We do this to recognize accomplishment, and we set apart time and space to honor achievement. ...

Update: Holy Crap!...

Tweet Okay, well I showed up bright and early this morning to turn in the exam.  The dean had a voicemail from my professor, and she agreed to accept the exam.  Later they agreed to not bar my exam from submission, but they did decide that they would dock my grade on the exam by 2/3 of a letter grade.  That is better than I deserved but worse than I had hoped. Looks like I may still graduate!  The wife is thankful, but when I get home, I am guaranteed an...

Holy Crap!...

Tweet I finished my commercial law exam on Monday.  Last in-class final, and I had one take-home final and a paper to finish for Law & Literature.  Earlier in the semester we were able to “pick” our due dates for our assignments, and I chose the last day of the final period, May 12.  I figured this would take the pressure off of me. Anyway, after the comm. law exam I went to work and had a crazy schedule trying to catch up on a number of things that I missed in the few days that I took off...

Slip slidin’ away...

Tweet #47 when I applied #52 when I began #60 ??? …but what do rankings matter...

Ripening Apathy...

Tweet I have been through difficult times in my life.  For example, the first year of law school was so challenging that I made a little butterfly my best bedfellow, but these last few weeks have proven to be much worse.  If there is such as disease as Senioritis then my senior is inflamed.  I can barely make it another day, and as a colleague articulated yesterday, “it’s not just school, I don’t want to get out of bed.”  Amen brother. I have one foot in school and one foot at work...
