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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

California Bar Exam, Feb 2008

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

The last ten days have been a whirlwind. Fear, anxiety, sleeplessness, coupled with joy, accomplishment and exhaustion.
Due to my lack of posts during what appears to be a time of increased readership, here is a recap on my three days of bar exam hell:
Day 1: The worst night’s sleep in the history of bar exam applicants. In […]

The Last Study Meal

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

In honor of what I hope will be the last time I will spend a Sunday afternoon in my office studying for the Bar Exam:

About 36 hours to go until game time…

Bibelot

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Yesterday, I received a very kind gift. And not just any gift. But the gift came in the mail (few things are more thrilling than receiving a package!) and it was from Ehlan, who knows one of my favorite stores on earth is Bibelot.
So when this  box arrived, I was estactic:
 
And better yet, the box […]

No love for the California Bar Exam

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

It’s Valentine’s Day.
From my office window, I’ve watched the rain beat down endlessly all afternoon. Most likely, right now, Josh is at home on our red couch, curled up in his pajamas with one of the dogs. And I am here, about to write an hour-long community property essay.
Of course, I don’t have to stay and […]

Two weeks to go…

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Only two more weeks to go and I’ll be halfway through the morning session on Day 1 of the exam.
 Throughout these past few months I have constantly found myself making comparisons between my current situation and my pre-July bar prep situation. Most of these comparisons have been futile, if not entirely pointless, since my current […]

I am SO smart.

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I just completed 12 multiple choice questions on my weakest subject (the dreaded Evidence), and I scored 100%. Yes, it was only 12 questions, but still, 100% on anything evidence-related is a big deal to me.
 I can do this!!
