Panic Much?

In an email from my bar prep course:

And, of course, it’s only your law license on the line. The bar exam is the highest stakes final exam you'll ever take.

Who am I married to?

Me: Do you like smoothies?
BW: Well, it's not a milkshake, so I don't really understand the point.
Me: What??
BW: I mean, I'd eat like a turkey sandwich smoothie I guess.

Love This

Which one is not like the other ones?

Hilarious.

Making It Official

Well I had to turn in my bar exam application and confirm with BarBri where I will study for the bar, so I finally broke down and asked the firm I got a casual offer from to discuss specifics. Everything turned out well! I am pretty pleased with the pay they offered, and they are very laid back with billable hours as long as I get my work done. It seems like the kind of place where I'll truly be able to have a healthy work-life balance. Also, I've been doing some law clerk work for them this semester, and so far I am loving it. Plus there will basically never be any document review, and I will have (and already have had!) direct client contact right of the bat. Plus, they guys who run the firm have been doing this for a long time and have a lot of knowledge and experience they can share with me. I am really excited!

It looks like we will be moving (back to the city where I attended college, a super popular city that people love!) in Mid-May so that I can begin working part time while I study for the bar exam (eek!). I'm frantically trying to figure out the BarBri hours so I can tell the firm when they can expect to see me in the office. I'm also weighing what to do about the PMF program and a few other things that are up in the air. Although I'm satisfied with the job offer I have, I don't think I will pull my name out of the running yet just in case something amazing falls from the sky. But being realistic, this set up would be a tough one to beat. I'm all smiles (for once!).

Doom

The law school is closed again today. I feel like there will be consequences for this. I don't like make-up classes (even though I should, since I pay like $300 for each class meeting).

I'm scared.

Ohio v. Essa

Another snow day. I've watched approximately 30 hours of In Session, which is basically just a live stream of murder trials, on TruTV. Right now I'm watching the closing arguments of the prosecution in a case where a cheating husband allegedly poisoned his wife (he totally did it). The prosecutor must have just said "vicarious liability" but I swear I heard "bi-curious liability." Perhaps I should take a break??

Snow Day!

The law school is closed today because of ice and snow. While I should use this day to do work and get ahead, I think I will probably lounge in bed and attempt to eat 5000 calories. Because I'm practical.
