It begins . . .

. . . well, for some of us at least. For those of us inept enough to demand a live Barbri session, Barbri started this morning bright and early at 9am . . . well . . . more like late and behind schedule at 9:30ish (at least for the SF St. Mary's session).

My impression from the first day is that this is going to be one long and difficult summer. The first hour or so was a quick informational session that basically covered everything we'll do over the summer. Then we took a 25 question MBE practice test on Torts, then talked over every one of those question. Then lunch. Then the same set up, but this time Criminal Law. I won't say I dominated the MC questions, but I wasn't dominated either. All in all, I definitely feel like I should be able to pass the Bar in two months, but I'm definitely not prepared right now. And I'm definitely figuring out all the topics and issues my 1L professors never covered way back in the day (like privacy in torts).

Did anybody else out there who started today have anything to gripe about? And to those of you in SF, anybody in the St. Mary's section find a good place to grab a quick lunch around that place? Also, for those of us in the St. Mary's section, how much did it suck when the schedule seemed to say that Saturday's sessions had been moved to Friday, returning us to a normal three day weekend but instead the schedule was wrong and we still do in fact have Saturday class. So lame. But who am I kidding, I'm probably just going to ditch out on that Saturday anyway, so it's not like it will matter.

Well, with that, I'm off to start reading for tomorrow. Good luck to everyone starting, and to everyone who starts next week, enjoy yourselves, you'll know our pain soon enough.
