		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve read any of my posts while I was prepping for the NY bar exam (see below), you know that I was having a crazy time studying and working full time. I had tons of emotions flowing through me and nothing let up &#8211; not work, BarBri (my prep course), or the demands of my personal relationships. I straight up said that I thought I was going to fail the exam and face a repeat in February. Well I&#8217;m happy to report that I did indeed pass the bar exam ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the television news media, the internet and your momma, Steven Slater is a hero. You know him, he’s the career flight attendant who, after a confrontation with a passenger, basically gave his employer Jet Blue, the offending passenger and everyone else in the vicinity a fat middle finger when he grabbed two beers, popped the aircraft’s rear door, and evacuated the plane via the inflatable emergency slide. Slater then calmly took the AirTran shuttle home and chilled until the police yoked him up.
I’m rather annoyed at people referring ...]]></description>

Alright yall, there are just 9 days (216 hours) until the New York State Bar Exam. I&#8217;m sick inside. I have stuff I want to write here but can&#8217;t commit the brain power. So I&#8217;ll get back with you after the exam. In the meantime, I want to share this post I read earlier from a fellow bar-taker&#8217;s blog, Thanks, But No Thanks, that manages to sum up many of my thoughts right now. An excerpt:
Please Stop Telling Me I&#8217;m Going to Pass the Bar: When I say to you, &#8220;I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not going to talk about whether justice was done in the Oscar Grant case or go on about the larger issue of Black men, law enforcement and violence in America. There are plenty of folks online providing that kind of commentary and probably better than I could. Rather, I’m going to quickly touch upon a few points of law without contributing analysis of the case or speculating upon the outcome. I wouldn&#8217;t do that without having been in the courtroom or having read the transcripts. No promises, but maybe ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every bike I’ve ever had in my life prior to 2009 has been stolen. From my own backyard, time after time, locked or unlocked. People LOVE to steal bikes. Sometimes it’s because they don’t like you but most of the time bike thieves don’t know or care who they’re stealing from. They need parts or a quick way to get downtown for free. If your bike is nearby and relatively easy to steal, it’s getting swiped. That’s why I think the Brits over in Cambridge (borrowing an idea from Canada) ...]]></description>

34 days (839 hours or 5,0367 minutes) until the July Bar Exam. This is the worst.
It&#8217;s not like it cannot be done. Obviously it can be done or else there wouldn&#8217;t be a grillion lawyers walking around out there. It&#8217;s not even about whether I am personally capable of doing it because I am. Besides, the bar isn&#8217;t about how smart you are or how good of a lawyer you&#8217;ll be, it&#8217;s about how much you can memorize. Therein lies the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re a young teenaged girl, you love going to the mall with your friends, buying keychains from Spencer&#8217;s Gifts and 2 for $20 Aeropostale t-shirts. When you needed staples like bras and 
underwear though, you usually called upon mom or some other family member. For me it was my aunt which was annoying because she&#8217;s crazy cheap and she wouldn&#8217;t buy me anything that she wouldn&#8217;t buy for herself. My aunt has always hated underwire bras so for most of my high school years I was blocked from wearing ...]]></description>

Three weeks into Barbri, several subjects down (Torts, Agency/Partnership, NY Practice, Constitutional Law) and currently reviewing Contracts/Sales. It hasn&#8217;t gotten any easier and I expected that to be the case regarding the material. The closer to exam day we get, the more material we&#8217;re going to have to hold in our heads at once. Working on the essays and the NY portion ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s an 80+ degree day in New York City. Today I am wearing a dress. The dress is blue and white, reminiscent of that nautical theme that’s been popular lately; it’s got a bubble hem, is sleeveless, and has a cowl-neck. The dress is not tight but not voluminous either and the hem reaches about 3 inches above my knee (I literally just measured it). On most other people in my office, this dress would be simply “cute.” On myself, however, I wonder whether it’s pushing the boundaries of office ...]]></description>

Until then, I will spend every day studying. This is normally a difficult and stressful time for anyone preparing for the bar but I feel like I’m running the race with gorilla on my back. Whereas it’s suggested that those studying for the bar spend 5-8 hours each day (not including the 4hours of lecture 5 days/week) practicing test questions, revising notes and soaking in the material, I am at ...]]></description>
