About Delinda

Graduation. Bar Exam. Wedding. Like a coming of age novel, but better.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The fact that Thanksgiving encompasses what I believe to be two very worthy endeavors: (1) consuming food for a straight 12 hours and (2) giving thanks for all the blessings in our lives; causes the holiday to shoot past Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day on the Delinda’s-favorite-holidays-to-celebrate richter scale.  
This year, Josh and I […]

10 points

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

The packet arrived in yesterday’s mail. I was disappointed to see that it did not contain my actual essays, but it did provide a breakdown of how many points were earned per essay, per performance test, and the cumulative multiple choice section.  The raw points were totaled and then scaled (since the written portion is […]

Staying Positive

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I didn’t re-outline Torts yesterday. To be honest, I could barely move. The day started with me on the bathroom floor, only to move to the couch to watch hours of football. I have no idea who won the Chargers game, or the Cowboys game, or the Colts game. But, I did watch them all. Well, […]

Moving forward

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Today on the California State Bar website, the “pass list” is released to the public. There will be hundreds, thousands of names. But my name won’t be there.
This weekend has been awful. I am trying SO hard to keep it together. To think positively. To move forward. To focus on the good.
I have fourteen weeks […]

Reality sets in

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

The packet didn’t show up. So, I have no idea WHY I didn’t pass. Hopefully, it will come in the mail on Monday. I want it to show up. I want to know WHY.
But, the reality of the situation has set in. I thought it would be wise to change out of my pajamas and […]

Defining Moments

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

I think I may be in shock. For the record, I did not pass.
I didn’t pass.
I did NOT pass.
I did not pass the California Bar Exam.
I failed. There, I said it. I failed. Writing the words makes the situation feel that much more real. Because I still can’t believe this has happened. The members of […]

Pacing

Friday, November 16th, 2007

This is it. It is today. Today is what I have been waiting for. For three very long months, I have thought about today and it is finally here, today.
 
Today, the California bar exam results are released.
 
They are released at precisely 6:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, although I am sure I will not know […]

Random Acts of Mean-ness.

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

I had originally planned for today to be good day. I had a breakfast date at DZ Akins, I wanted to bake some cookies, and I was going to baby shower in the afternoon for a friend who I rarely get to see.
The day started off normal. I hit the snooze button a few extra […]

Birthdays

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

This past weekend, I experienced two kiddie birthday celebrations. One party was a princess-themed very pink shin-dig for a lovely four-year-old, while the other was laid back relaxing sort-of beach day for a fifteen-year-old.
I attended the four-year-old princess party with Casey and Marcie, known in the blog world as the Searching for Baby S in […]

Dressed-up Dogs

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Here’s Archie and Gizmo in their Halloween costumes. Archie was, most appropriately, a fire chief and Gizmo, again most appropriately, was the devil.
 They graciously wore their costumes and allowed me to take a few photos.  They didn’t wear them too long because after Archie gave me his sad look (see photo number 3), […]
