About Delinda

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

The Oath

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

On Wednesday, May 28, 2008, I was sworn into the California Bar.
Even though my law school puts together a large group swearing-in ceremony for all of its graduates that pass the bar exam, I decided that I couldn’t wait for the group ceremony (which takes place next week). My dad was kind enough (and also […]

The Nose, part deux

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

It’s one week later and I’m still floating high when thinking of the bar exam results. Yesterday, I got to answer a question that I had avoided for the past year: “What is your occupation?” It was thrilling to respond with “lawyer.” Granted, the circumstances were not ideal. I was sitting in a medical office, […]

I can’t believe it

Friday, May 16th, 2008

I passed the February 2008 California Bar Examination.
I am still in shock. I was convinced, if you couldn’t tell from my earlier posts, that I would have to re-take the exam. That being said, I am elated with this news.
Earlier today, approximately an hour before the results were to be released online, Josh and I […]

Please God, let me pass the bar exam

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Dear God,
 This is Delinda. I know, you know me. There’s only a handful of Delindas out here in the world and I have a feeling that right now, I am the only Delinda with a broken nose and a sunburn. While I usually don’t take our conversations public, I want to make sure my request […]

Just when I felt life couldn’t get any worse.
 I broke my nose.
Yup. You read correctly. I broke my nose.
The stress of the upcoming results has weighed on me so heavily this week. I felt a good workout would mellow me out a bit. Thus, Wednesday afternoon, Josh and I packed up our surfboards and headed […]

Preparing for the Worst

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I decided to visit the California State Bar homepage today. This is the website I will visit on Friday to retrieve my results. It is also home to former bar exam questions, answers and other State Bar information.
Today, for the first time since I sat for the February bar exam, I was ready to look […]

Worthless

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

What does 12 years of public school, 4 years of undergraduate work, 3 years of law school, and a one year master’s program get me?
NOTHING.
The amount of money, time, and energy I have put into my education is the biggest joke of my life. This Saturday will be exactly one year since I donned my graduate cap […]

No Longer Domestically Disabled

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

With as much womens-lib that I preach, my family knows the truth. I love domestic stuff. That is, the good domestic stuff.
For my birthday, Josh and I ventured over to my parents house in the afternoon where I received a very cute birthday card from “Archie and Gizmo.”

Then, as I unwrapped my gift, I was excited […]

The year of 26.

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Thank you for the warm birthday wishes. The many phone calls, emails, text messages, and snail mail has made me feel very loved. Which, I must say, was much needed for this particular birthday. Not that I was depressed about the new age (a glorious “27″) I must embrace for the next 363 days, but […]

Burma

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

The aftermath of the Burma cyclone is heart breaking. How a government can deny its own citizens assistance in recovering from a natural disaster is incredible. Last night, I read an entry on Anderson Cooper’s blog and I found myself choked up. What a dire situation.
