done, and i don't have much more to say about the bar exam experience. basically i thought the multi-choice was hard because it focuses on nit-picky details that no one cares about, the performance tests are extremely easy, and the essays are simplistic, the challenge is all in actually remembering the crap you studied. it's like a test of ( Read more... )

sooo back from day one. already i feel like a total retard. the morning was 3 essays, community property (i think i did well on that one, at least i felt like i got all the issues), then a property question (cc&rs which i didn't remember at all so i made up some rules and rambled on) and then what i thought was a professional responsibility & ( Read more... )

so the bar is on tuesday (through thursday) and i haven't been able to study very seriously (i have been carrying books around and opening them and shuffling papers and looking busy) for the past few days. my brain keeps drifting off to one place, which is: ways in which one could cheat. and even though i'm like "no, brain, we can't do that!

so ai_ling tagged me, & who could deny her ( Read more... )

sorry, that was mean of me... that proust was actually only for oslo, because we were having a pretentious highbrow conversation about art that obviously the rest of you couldn't begin to understand. (kidding! or am i?) not that i understood it anyhow, and yeah, proust is rather dull. but everyone who made a good faith attempt to read it gets some ( Read more... )

a long passage from proust, the 6th volume of la recherche du temps perdu (i'm sure that french is entirely wrong, but whatever). if you're really bored you can read it, and then you can tell everyone that you've read proust because you're all intellectual and french like that ( Read more... )

i've decided that i'm probably going to fail the bar exam and when this occurs i think the most graceful way to deal with it is to never speak of it again. so if in like october or november i don't mention getting my results back, it's because i failed and you aren't allowed to ask and if you do i'll burst into tears and be sad that i can't sue ( Read more... )

i'm back. well, the timeline for this is roughly as follows: the 18th, graduation (sooo lame, the chairman of goldman sachs was the speaker. even the young republican kids were disappointed by this irrelevant [not even a practicing lawyer? or judge/political figure?] and unprestigious choice [their words, one guy was like, i'd rather have commie ( Read more... )

haha 2 A's and 3 B's, not bad considering i was on auto-pilot this semester. honestly, my brain is not legally-oriented, this stuff goes in one ear and out the other, it bores me, i couldn't tell you what the importance of lochner is, although i'm sure its been assigned in about 43048347 different readings... this has been the least educational ( Read more... )

ai_ling has inspired me to write down another college story. i know, but i'm bored, but don't worry, i'm going to DC tomorrow & won't be back for awhile, so there will be a break from the dumb stories.

( i'm a bad person, claims college president )
