And so it begins….

Bar prep is now two weeks in and I am feeling good about it. Not “good” in the sense that I know every rule or that I have a handle on every topic. I am FAR from that. But I feel good in the sense that I am managing the daily schedule they have provided to me, I have not missed any assignments, and the MPTs and MEEs that I have answered so far have been in the ballpark.

So, here’s to hoping these next 8 weeks continue to go as smoothly as these last two!

PS: Some of these lectures are just horrifyingly dull!

(Kinda) Unemployed

Lazy

Yesterday was the beginning of my first day without working since I was 16 years old! Of course I took off three months for maternity leave, but that was in the normal course of business. Now, I am taking off two and a half months to study full time for the bar. This week is my buffer week. I had one final yesterday and bar prep starts next Monday. So… here I am on a Tuesday morning, with nothing to do, bored already. I must say that yesterday was pretty fabulous. Mr. Mister woke up with Little Bit, fed her breakfast, cleaned all the dishes, and prepped Little Bit’s lunch for the babysitter while I slept in until 8:45 for the first time in over a year. IT. WAS. GLORIOUS. But of course, I can’t make that a habit.

I was already given a time table of pre-bar prep stuff that I need to get done before next Monday. Yesterday’s and today’s lists are completed and I am contemplating starting on tomorrow’s list. But I really want to call into work and see how everything is going. I also want to take a nap while Little Bit is napping. However, I should probably get out of my pi’s and do something productive. Ah, the struggle is real right now. I guess I better enjoy these lazy days before my life gets crazy-hectic again.

Maybe I should catch up on my ‘sodes of How To Get Away With Murder! Does anyone else think this is the most cheesy, yet fabulous, show?

It’s Over!

Applause

What can I say? Surreal? Like I am in a dream? Like this isn’t happening?

TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF MY LAW SCHOOL CAREER!

I am feeling all sorts of emotions right now. I know I have a long road ahead of me with the bar and finding a job, but for right now, I AM ON CLOUD NINE!

Tuesday’s Tangent

TANGENT TUESDAY

During this last semester of law school I have learned that I am a productive procrastinator. I’ll have bunch of chapters throughout a stack of books to read before the weekend ends and I will come up with a list a mile long of things that ABSOLUTELY need to get done before I start in on that homework.

This weekend that list included:

  •             Sorting through the lone sock pile to find the matches.
  •             Ridding Little Bit’s closet of clothes that no longer fit her.
  •             That resulted in me funneling more clothes into her closet that she can grow into.
  •             Reminiscing about the time when Little Bit was able to fit in those smaller clothes.
  •             Cleaning every single piece of bedding in my home.
  •             Wiping down all of the kitchen cabinets.
  •             Wiping down all of Little Bit’s toys.
  •             Doing 6 loads of laundry . . . which resulted in me having to hang and fold 6 loads of laundry.

On a happy note, my house is always fresh and clean come Monday morning. Ready for the neglect it will suffer the rest of the week.
