Yesterday was great. Today really sucked. I don’t know property. This of course isn’t news to me, but it was a blow nonetheless. We laughed it off, but by the time I came back home I wanted to cry. Out of the 20 questions we did I think we each averaged about 3 or 4 right, total. It was sad. Then again we all had the terrible property professor, so it’s just going to take some time. That and we’re going to have to answer tons of questions. I just want to learn this stuff so I can ace the MBE part of the exam and move on.
I think the part of the day that bothered me the most was an email I received from a friend. We’re starting our own practice. He already passed the bar and he’s just waiting on me. So he emails me after finding out that I’m not taking BAR/BRI unlike the rest of the school, and apparently practically everyone in my class is under the impression that this is a bad idea! He offers me his books, and he just sounded so concerned, and it just bothered me. Just because I don’t have twelve hundred books to read every night and outlines to condense does not mean I am not getting an adequate review for the bar. I’m doing a group study with Reed’s review course, and I’m quite happy with it. I don’t have to fill in the blanks to keep myself awake while watching video tapes. I get a very intense review, and when I don’t understand something there are three other people in that room with me who do understand and they help me out. It’s more one on one, and I like it. I appreciate his concern as well as his offer, but I’m just tired of all the condescending looks. We’re going to pass this exam, and I swear I will run over the next person who gives me the pity look after they tell me they know I’m not taking BAR/BRI. I’ll be sure to give that person the same look when I find out they didn’t pass the bar and I did.

It’s possible to pass the bar having graduated from the first internet law school. Yay for those who did pass.

McD’s sues Italian critic because the guy just didn’t like the fast food’s meal. Seriously, not everyone is supposed to like rubber.

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.

Jonni rocks my world. You know why. Thank you so much. I will be watching Season 1 all week now.

Bank card stolen. Money lost. Not happy. Not happy at all.

Yazzy has no will power whatsoever. Now that I have read it, I think it’s a rumor or very bad fan fiction. Am cringing.
Am I the only one who is uncertain about whether wanting Spike to be the subject of the Shanshu prophecy? Granted, Spike did a major thing. I’d just hate to think he’d lose his uber cool self as a human, which is why the potential spoiler would fit.
POSSIBLE SPOILER
But, but, a slayer? A male slayer? I don’t think so.

Damn Hercules!!!!! He just posted spoilage on AICN that details how Spike comes back. I haven’t highlighted the text yet, and it could be fabricated, but damn it. I have no will power!!

Information is supposed to be a good thing, but after reading up on people’s reactions to the side effects of topamax, I’m near panic level. I just found out today that it messes with another med I’m on. I should have gone with Imitrene or something. Ack! Maybe I should just chill. Mom doesn’t get any bad side effects, so I should be ok, right.

Streisand sues over a picture of her California home. She claims it’s an invasion of her privacy.
Why oh why do I not have any sympathy for this woman? Not because of the impending lawsuit, but just in general. I’ve never been a fan.
