good-bye until August

So there is this little thing called the California Bar Exam...July 26-28. I went to the first review lecture today. It was like a cross between first year of law school, meetings with the undergrad advisor (in terms of everything being planned out for the next two months), and sheer oh-dear-God-what-have-I-gotten-myself-into-now terror.

I kept on having a quote from the 213 things no longer allowed at Hogwarts list run through my mind today-- "Not allowed to use Professor Umbridge's quill to write, 'I told you I was hard-core.'"

Right. Off I go to tie up a few last loose ends from work, and then study....

*hugs* You'll get through it. Just stick to a steady study plan and don't get discouraged when it seems impossible at the beginning. As they say, this too shall pass...and so will you.

Best of luck to you!

I (vicariously) lived through the NY bar review course/exam with my good friend, and I can say that she survived (yea, and passed!) and even regained most of her sanity at the end of the whole ghastly experience. Best of luck, and remember to breathe. And eat. And take occasional moments off.

Or at least the first two.

I echo dreagoddess - steady as she goes is the way to do it (according to a mate of mine who passed the California Bar Exam last year).

I think they only ever do the 'scare the shit out of you' first lecture to weed out those who lack the bollocks.

Good luck! And enjoy all the Whitebread and Rossi jokes (which you have probably heard before, anyway).
