I'm still here!!

So BarBri has started and I'm also working part time. In other words, I am exhausted and on the brink of tears at all times. A few recent notes:

My BarBri lecturer puts an extra syllable in substantive. She says, substantative. I presume she's right about all the other things she's been teaching us, like contractious, propertety, and Constitutututional law.

I know basically no one in my prep class. All of the students in this city went to school together, while I am a recent implant. I've been trying to be super friendly so that I can meet other bar studiers. The other day, I was grabbing lunch nearby on our break, and I asked a guy sitting by himself if I could join him. He happily said yes. Then I realized he was not taking BarBri. So yes, I am lonely enough to hit on strangers.

Finally, so far my job is sort of awesome. I have a cool, corner office with three windows and I just got to buy a sweet computer on the firm's dime. More importantly, the attorneys are so busy right now that they keep giving me interesting, substantative assignments. The good news: it's fun to play lawyer. The bad news: I think their malpractice insurance rates are about to go up.


Stay tuned.

Changes

This weekend at my brother in law's graduation party, someone asked me what I do for a living, and I said:

I'm a lawyer?

It was super weird.
