Question: Anyone have tips on how to survive studying for the bar? I thought school was bad, but this is actually a little worse, or maybe it’s just me. I seriously feel like such a 1L. Looking over Torts and Contracts I’ve realized that I’ve forgotten most of it. A whole years’ worth that I’m supposed to remember in a week. This of course does not include Property, which I know nothing about because our section had the misfortune of having a terrible teacher, and Con Law, which I love but I’ll probably feel clueless there too. The group was going over Crimes today, but I had to miss because of what happened yesterday. I’m so behind. Maybe this is why I’m so anxious.
Did I mention? I’m going to pass the bar. And even if I start to doubt myself, I’ll just say it again. I will pass the Texas Bar Exam. Not just that, I’m great at multiple choice, so I should be just fine.
I will pass the bar.
Damn the Board of Law Examiners. Those sadists. They derive pleasure out of seeing us bleed tears of stress as we pour over line after line of future estate interests, and the elements of negligence (duty, breach, causation, damages). They have mens rea. And I really don’t quite remember what that means yet.
C’est la vie.
