Bar

I am three days into studying for the bar and I am already having trouble keeping a positive outlook, so I am going to try and remind myself of a couple of things.

1. When I am done, I will know the most about black letter law that I will ever know for the rest of my life.

2. If I pass, I will never have to take the Washington Bar Exam again

3. Even though there is a lot I still need to learn, it is kind of cool to realize how much I already know from the past three years.

4. When you are trying to memorize the law in 21 areas, sometimes the right answer really does match with common sense (the exceptions prove the rule, because there are all sorts of wacky things that you just simply have to memorize)

5. It still doesn't fee like summer here, so I don't mind as much sitting inside studying on a cloudy day.

Do not expect too much blogging for the next eight weeks. At some point I want to write a few retrospective comments on law school and such, but that will probably wait and then this blog will come to an end. Until then, wish me luck as I return to my study hole.

Its over.

Well, the first of three steps is over. Now I just need to pass the bar and get a job.
