Two words…

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am moving to Major City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Annoyed

So bar results are out soon. I know this. I think about it, oh, about 100x an hour. So I don’t need reminders. But some of my law school friends have been texting me asking me when they come out. Then when I respond, soon, they write back that they know because they looked it up online. Why? Why is it any of their business? I don’t need to know that they know the date and time. I certainly don’t need a bunch of texts or calls after results are out asking what happened. GRRRRR. People need to mind their own business!! If you’re going to look it up, don’t tell me!

File this

So yesterday one of the temp agencies gave me grief for calling them a few times a week.  They said I wasn’t bugging them when I called so many times. Excuse me? Isn’t it your job to find me a job?? I was so pissed I almost called back and told them to take me off their so-called available list. But then I realized I really need the money so I bit my tongue. I just don’t get how they have NO jobs at all. Seriously.

Then the other temp agency (there’s only 2 that actually find work for attorneys in Rainy City) called and has a filing position open. That’s it, only filing. Now, I know I’m being snotty here, but I’m an attorney. When I was a senior in college, 7 years ago, I had a job as a file clerk at a law firm. That was fine, but I don’t want to revert back to that sort of position. Especially at a preeminent law firm, as an attorney, for a measly $14 an hour. And it’s downtown so I’d have to drive and park which combined daily would be about what I’d make daily in wages. I need the job and the money I know. But my pride doesn’t want me to take it.

OH and I find out about my bar results very soon, so there is a possibility* I’d be an attorney barred in two states doing filing. Yup, that would suck.

* don’t want to jinx myself here

Pass please

So most bar exam results are in. I still have less than two weeks until I find out. I know the exact date and time, but I’m keeping that information to myself. One of my good friends J who failed the NY bar twice and was crying on the phone to me last night that she is a loser and failure, passed. So I am so happy for her. My other friend and study buddy T also passed the NY bar.  I am trying to prepare myself for the shock of failing it, but now I really want to pass. I am competitive and want to be dually licensed, just like T.  All in all, I am happy for everyone who has passed. Including Glasses. But I still want to pass!

3 days and counting

So I’m here in my hotel room trying not to think about what tomorrow brings. The first of 3 hellish days that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Yes, the Bar is tomorrow. Good thing I had some salmon and red wine tonight right? I also watched an episode of My So-Called Life. One of the best shows ever. Period. Thank goodness for the internet. Although I rented a movie on iTunes that is still downloading…2 hours later! Oh well, time for bed anyways.

It will all be worth it when I’m residing in Major City as an attorney! Or so I keep telling myself…

Sick

I wonder if it’s possible to transfer viruses/colds via the internet? If so, thanks Dom I’m laying low today and not studying until later. I feel like crap. Thank God for Emergen-C and sleep! And Chinese food and cheesy movies.

Tomorrow is the presidential caucuses. I would go but I have to study Property law. Yes, easements and fee simple absolute are more important than Barack or Hilary or John at this time. And I’m not feeling any of them anyways. Good thing I’m a dual citizen eh?

Hodge-podge

So nothing exciting is really going on here. I’m glad it’s February though. I hate January for no other reason than it’s a cold, miserable month. The only thing I don’t like about February happens in 13 days, otherwise known as Single Awareness Day. Ugh, I hate Hallmark holidays. But tomorrow is Groundhog Day so that’s great!

My new thing is green tea. I’ve decided to drink that instead of Coca-Cola. Green tea has a lot of health benefits, and Coke really doesn’t, unless you count the caffeine rush that I need to live But green tea is good so far. A lot less calories and it has caffeine!

I saw “27 Dresses” the other day. I thought it was quite good besides the fact the theatre was filled with a bunch of annoying teenage girls. There was no school that day and so of course I picked the wrong day to see the movie. They talked, laughed, stomped the floor and texted all the way through the movie. Grr. And I don’t mean laughing at the funny moments. But otherwise I quite enjoyed it. I love Katherine Heigl and have since “My Father the Hero.”

Alright, only 25 days til the bar, so back to the books!

Happy Weekend!

Time flies when you’re not having fun

So this week by too fast for my sense of well-being. Only 4 weeks ’til the bar exam! Yikes. Ugh, I’m so sick of talking and thinking about this test. I just can’t wait for it to be mid-March and I’m on my way to Major City.

So when I have overwhelming stress going on in my life, I like to divert my attention to something of no consequence and stress out about that. For the first few weeks of studying, I obsessed over finding the perfect under-eye concealer. Who knows why but I did. I finally settled on YSL Touche Eclat, but I’m not 100% convinced that I can’t live without it.

So now I want a new cell phone. This is dangerous territory. For one, my current phone is perfectly fine. In fact, it’s the only cell phone I’ve ever had that hasn’t given me problems. But it’s just…boring. I want an iPhone dang it. I want my ipod, gps (i think), internet and phone all in one. But there are problems: no money to actually buy one ($300+ is too much right now) plus I’m in my contract until oh next February. Another year of Sprint! I could buy a new phone, but unfortunately their phones suck and I don’t want to get sucked into another stupid 2 year contract. So therefore, I will have to find a new obsession to distract me from studying. Hmm….

Stressed

Ok, I am soooo unbelievably stressed out right now. This bar prep is driving me mad. I just don’t know how I’m going to learn it all and cram it in my head in the next 4 weeks. The bar I did last year was different although I was still stressed, if not more, as it was my first time.

And it’s not helping that my family is harassing me to do stuff around the house. Sorry, washing the floor is just not as important as learning the exact phrase of personal jurisdiction, ok? Or my friend M. who tells me that I need to study more. More than 8 hours? Physically impossible for me. My brain shuts off and I get antsy.

I know I can do it, sometimes I just don’t want to. I think I’m going to go see a movie tomorrow morning and then hit up the library. Oh and I have a weird stalker at the library who stares at me constantly. And then there’s the weird lady who won’t stop coughing. See why I’m stressed?

Finally!

Ok. I think I finally figured out a theme and widget set-up I like. Argh. This is too time consuming! But kinda fun… Now if my picture would actually show up like it says it’s supposed to!

It was sad hearing that Heath Ledger died. He was my age. Crazy. I feel bad for his daughter.

So that’s pretty much my day in a nutshell. Back to the books. And if it would only heat up a little bit. It’s like 25 degrees outside. Far too cold for my pretty little self I am eagerly anticipating Major City’s warm weather!
