The party's over...

...or, hell...maybe it's just begun!!!

Final day of the Cal Bar Exam. I finished and it's out of my life. For now. And hopefully FOREVER.

It was more straightforward than I had imagined it would be and I was a pretty good predictor of what subjects would be tested for the essays (was so certain Corps would be on there that I kept studying and restudying it...don't know if it made a difference in the long run, tho).

I know there were rule of law I just couldn't remember (Sakai says: "Make it up!") and there were some MBE's that were just downright EVIL (I mean how can you HONESTLY conspire to steal your own coat? huh? Who's calling the cops on that particular crime, exactly?), but it's done. And I didn't pass out, freak out or wimp out. And neither did old Bessie my Dell laptop who wheezes and sputters when she powers on, but stayed the course.

I don't have to kick ass on this exam. I just need to pass.
But for right now, all I have to do is SLEEP.

California BLAH Exam

I haven't posted since graduating. Mostly because I've been in BarBri classes and generally being a slave to studying for the Cal Bar Exam.
And drinking occasionally.

To say that I cannot wait for this to be over is the understatement of my life.

I have also heard alternately that taking the exam at Cal Expo is going to be HORRIBLE. They better have A/C. I know that the Exhibition Halls always had A/C growing up. You would go wander around the 4H displays in order to cool off between corn dogs and the Tilt-A-Whirl. Preferably in that order.

Let's hope they crank it against the 105 degree Sac heat, eh?

I'm driving up on Saturday and wasting basically the whole day doing that. If I was smart, I would run thru laws in my head while driving. But I'm afraid that will cause me to run off the road and take out an unsuspecting cow. Thus, I'll be listening to a NON-LAW audio book.

I'm at mom's until Monday afternoon when I check into the hotel. Hopefully, I can study a bit before heading to a final dinner with the family. I'm having a martini.

My brain has ceased working properly and I honestly don't know what good I'm doing any more.
It's far more interesting to watch my friend, Storm, on Rockstar:Supernova or my friend, Bonnie on Project Runway than study the rule in Shelley's Case.

I'm certain that both Corporations and Professional Responsibility will be on the exam. My two weakest links. Tomorrow HAS TO BE about working on those. I'm running out of time.

And brain cells.
