Graduation. Bar Exam. Wedding. Like a coming of age novel, but better.
Oh, it’s been a long time.
For months my intent was to resume writing, but well, as you know I just didn’t do it. Blog burnout perhaps? Crazy life occurances? Maybe a bit of both. Here’s a brief chronological recap on life post-bar exam:
1) Two weeks after I was sworn into the California Bar, I found myself […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Many people have told Josh and I that the first year of marriage is the hardest. I don’t know if that phrase will necessarily be true for us, but it was fun to celebrate our six month milestone this past weekend. For kicks, here’s a photo of us on March 1, 2007, exactly one year before […]
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, nightmares invaded any chance of soundful sleep. The nightly scenarios involved things like Josh showing up without his suit, the invitations never being sent, and always, me standing at the end of the aisle in my classic white hoodie because I was unable to locate my wedding dress.
Of course, when the real […]
In just one week, I will be done with Day 1 of the California Bar Exam. I took this week off from work to memorize, finalize, and perfect any necessary remaining nuances. So much information. So much to memorize! It’s starting to become late in the day, and my brain is feeling a little fried. Kinda […]
In exactly three weeks, I’ll be halfway through essay number 2 on Day 1 of the California Bar Exam…
Just thinking about it makes me a little queasy, so instead of thinking about the exam itself, I am trying to focus on my daily task list. For example, today I am reviewing business associations, community property […]
The movie, Snakes on a Plane, was one of the worst movies I think I have ever seen. It was one of those that was so awful, it was a bit funny. Perhaps because at the time, it’s plot bordered on ridiculous.
Although after today, I think perhaps the movie wasn’t too far off base. Apparently […]
