Bar Exam Advice

Posted on August 07, 2009
Being a week out from having taken the bar exam, I of course don't have my results. So I don't know whether I passed or not (and I go between feeling absolutely confident I passed, and moments of horrific panic that I've failed). But I can tell you what I did and didn't do to prepare, what I'm glad I did and what I wish I didn't do...

Moved

Posted on August 05, 2009
Yesterday we moved my furniture into the new apartment. Fortunately, the torrential rain stopped long enough for us to get the furniture into the apartment without getting wet. We were already a bit wet from moving the furniture from the house into the truck, but it wasn't too bad...

Home, Sweet Home

Posted on August 04, 2009
Or, I guess, part-time home. Tomorrow I'm moving my furniture to the new apartment.Very busy day tomorrow. After Cora goes to daycare, Husband and I are having breakfast with a friend from law school/grad school. Then we're picking up the moving truck and loading up the furniture...

Chillin' in NY

Posted on August 01, 2009
I'm stealing someone's wireless right now to reconnect to the cyber realm. Cora's taking a nap, and I'm taking a break from family (in particular, my mother). So far, we're having a really good time, and we managed to make it up here on Thursday in only 9 1/2 hours, without killing each other...

It's over

Posted on July 29, 2009
Hopefully it stays over. What an awful experience, I want to sleep for a week. Suckily, I'm driving for 10 hours tomorrow, I'll sleep next week. So here's the bar exam recap:Last week, I continuously freaked the hell out, studying 14 hours a day and doing every possible practice multiple choice problem Bar/Bri provided...

Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Pray for Us

Posted on July 27, 2009
St. Catherine of Alexandria, by Caravaggio, c. 1598[Patron Saint of Students and Lawyers]And so it goes. I'll be back on Wednesday.Good luck to my fellow bar examiners. See you on the other side.

The End of the Road

Posted on July 26, 2009
Well, it's here: The end of the road. I've got a little bit more studying to do today, but the bulk of it is done. And whatever happens, happens. I'm not as prepared as I feel I should be, but I have the feeling that no one goes in feeling as prepared as they should be...

Radio Silence

Posted on July 19, 2009
After today, I'm going off the radar for the rest of the week until the bar exam. So, you won't hear all the stories about me curling up into a ball and sobbing hysterically, setting fire to my Bar/Bri books, or running away and joining the circus instead of taking the bar...

Diversion

Posted on July 17, 2009
Husband is working tonight, but instead of getting a sitter and doing more studying, I decided I deserved some quality time with the kid. We ate dinner, watched some Elmo (today, Elmo referred to Mr. Noodle as being a "swinger" and I nearly spit Diet Coke out my nose), and played with Cora's new bath toys, these letters and numbers that when wet, stick to the bathroom tile...

Bitterness

Posted on July 16, 2009
I know Husband has earned his leisurely summer vacation. Since he finished his clinicals the first week of June, he only has to work 25 hours per week, which is only two shifts (he works 2 days of the weekend, but gets paid for 40 hours, since he works every weekend)...

Taking a Break

Posted on July 15, 2009
Tomorrow evening, I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm so nerdily excited.I've been watching Goblet of Fire while eating dinner/making more flash cards. It's my favorite of the whole series. It's where the books start getting darker, and more "grown-up...

Countdown

Posted on July 15, 2009
The bar is in two weeks. Crazily, I wish it was next week so it could just be over. I have a lot to do still, both as far as studying and as far as getting ready for the new job. I haven't even started packing, I put Husband on the task of securing a moving van, and there are all sorts of things I need to buy for the new apartment...

Bar Preparedness

Posted on July 13, 2009
Making this list makes me feel better.Topics where I rock:Constitutional LawContracts Law (MBE only)TortsCrimesEvidenceWillsTrustsFamily LawFederal Income TaxCommercial PaperPersonal PropertyFed Civ Pro (except I keep getting the state distinctions mixed up, ugh)CorporationsAgency/PartnershipConflicts of LawTopics where I suck:Secured TransactionsFederal Estate & Gift Tax and Future InterestsReal PropertyContracts (essays)Admin (possibly because I haven't done the lecture yet)On the essays, I want as many family law, torts and crime questions as possible...

Blog RIP

Posted on July 12, 2009
Those of you who read the MILP blogs have probably noticed one of those blogs has recently disappeared. Unfortunately, because of reasons that cannot be disclosed, this blogger has been forced to take down her blog. She wasn't allowed to explain why to her readers, nor even to say a proper goodbye...

Dear Bar Exam,

Posted on July 12, 2009
I hate you. I wish you would spontaneously burst into flames and meet a fiery death so we never meet.I hate you that much. Oh, I'm all over you with some MBE. That's right. The MBE is getting owned on July 29th. Owned. You will be my bitch, MBE. But you are currently kicking my ass with the essays...

Crazy ensues

Posted on July 10, 2009
It's been a bad couple days for me. I've been studying my ass off for Evidence, and it doesn't seem to be doing any good. I think I've hit a wall. So, now I'm trying a different approach and spending the evening going through the Law in a Flash cards for Hearsay and Character Evidence...

Dear University Hospital Administration,

Posted on July 10, 2009
You can suck it.Today, I am mailing my final payment on the massive amount of hospital bills you assholes charged me because I was underinsured during my pregnancy (because I had the crappy university insurance policy). For instance, every week that I needed an ultrasound (which was every week from week 21 to week 36), you not only charged me at least $800 for less than 10 minutes of use of the ultrasound machine, but well over $300 for 10 minutes of the ultrasound technician's time, and 2 minutes of the doctor's time...

Seeking

Posted on July 09, 2009
One of my jobs in our house is finding stuff. Husband is really good at losing stuff, and so I spend a lot of time tracking things down. His wallet, his phone, his keys, his shoes, you name it, I've looked for it. For instance, last night, Husband was tearing apart the house looking for a book he borrowed from a friend which he'd taken on vacation...

Kiddie Stuff

Posted on July 07, 2009
Part of being a parent is, of course, being re-emerged in the world of Kiddie Stuff. Songs long forgotten have to be relearned, and sung, and sung, and sung. Stuffed animals, and cars, and blocks, and crayons litter the house and are part of our daily lives...

Tired, cranky

Posted on July 05, 2009
It's been a long weekend. And not all good.I've been knocking out the rest of the Bar/Bri lectures early so I can concentrate on practice exams for the next three weeks. Corporations guy was really good, even though he was SUPER obnoxious. I wish every lecturer had been as good as him though...

I have a MUG! Oh, and an apartment.

Posted on July 02, 2009
I'm unbelievably excited about the fact that I have a mug. We frequent this British Pub. Sadly, when we came in tonight, the waitress remembered what we ordered three nights ago. That's how often we're there. We even bring Cora (she loves the goat cheese dip on pita)...

Enjoying the Afternoon

Posted on June 30, 2009
... in spite of listening to boring Bar/Bri lectures. I've been working on the review lectures from the Simulated MBE. I rock out when it comes to Crim Law/Crim Pro, so it makes Crimes Lady even more boring. I'm bored with the going on and on about the black letter law...

New Blog, Renewed Focus

Posted on June 28, 2009
I'm trying out some changes with the blog. Give me some feedback!First, I changed the name. I figure I'm no longer knocked up, nor am I in law school, so the old name is kinda inapplicable. But the URL has always been attorney work product, since I started it in 2007, so I went with that...

Make-Over

Posted on June 28, 2009
Please have patience, while I figure out what the hell I'm doing in editing the html. It's been a very long time since I've done any programming whatsoever. Things should be fixed soon!UPDATE: I think I've got things under control now. That's what I get for trying to take some free template, and then customize it...

More wasted days

Posted on June 25, 2009
I spent yet another day apartment hunting yesterday. Four hours of driving, and quite a bit of time just driving around and looking at places. I saw a couple apartments, including a house that was for rent that might have been rather nice if not for the extremely offensive odors...

Relocating

Posted on June 21, 2009
I took a day trip to my new town to go apartment-hunting the week before last. I thought I'd found an apartment, told the guy I wanted it, only to find out his partner had just rented it to someone else. So he says. I'm skeptical by nature. The apartment was too good to be true...

The Comment Box

Posted on June 14, 2009
If you're a new reader, you probably arrived here either from googling "pregnant in law school" or from another "blawg." When I first found out I was pregnant, I too made the same internet search. (LagLiv's blog was the first I found.) Since then, I've discovered a whole network of Moms in Law School/Legal Profession (check out the sidebar for a few)...

Bar Reviewing

Posted on June 07, 2009
Bar review? Hates it. However, the iPod option is soooo much better than sitting in the classroom. I don't know why they even bother paying these dudes to show up to the law schools anyway. No wonder the course is so crazy expensive. Anyway, it's nice to be able to stop the recording, go have some lunch, or run some errands, or take a little cat nap...

Opinions

Posted on May 26, 2009
My kid's been alive for what, like, 18 months now? She apparently believes this entitles her to have opinions of her own. The worst example being that I have purchased three pairs of adorable sandals she refuses to allow touch her feet. Sandals are obviously not real shoes and the world will end if she wears them...

Vacationings

Posted on May 25, 2009
The view from my canopy bed at the pool...If you have some vacation time and a little extra cash, I highly recommend taking a trip to Mexico right now, particularly Quintana Roo. It is super cheap to fly there right now, and it is super empty of tourists...
