Purses and Plea Bargains: Dancing Away The Blues

LAW KNOWLEDGE OF THE DAY: Exculpatory knowledge in a consensual agreement between the parties that is intended to insulate one of the parties from liability resulting from his own negligence is closely scrutinized but generally enforceable as long as it is not an adhesion contract situation.

Please. Save. Me. From. This. Hell.

lol

ok, so I know that every student thinks that what they are doing is really hard and all that but seriously the CA bar exam is another thing all together. I've come to the conclusion that the bar exam is not about how much law you know but rather a Darwinistic experiment of survival of the fittest. I'm a big Darwin fan and all but I'd rather not be at the butt end of his theory.

This exam is meant to break you. You learn nothing. You memorize a bunch of stuff, that you will most likely never use or need to know from memory in your law career, then you forget it the second you walk out of the examination room (i know this is true because I remember absolutely nothing from the first time around)

It's just so frustrating when you are studying from books that contradict themselves in the law, mess up the names of the parties in the sample essays and hire lecturers who either leave out or screw up the applicable law. This test is hard enough without incompetence from this bar review company whose name I won't mention f-ing things up, (you know who they are)

However, not everything is murky these days. I appreciate everyone who has been calling to check up on me or visiting me in these really horrible days. I absolutely won't be visiting OC until after the bar, so I can use more of my time to study and not get distracted. So visits and love are appreciated as are bags of coffee and highlighters, lol.

Payam has been great in taking good care of me. I was complaining about not being able to get any physical activity in or having any fun during my 10 minute breaks so he went and bought me Dance Dance Revolution (Which I love). It's great b/c I don't feel as guilty about not making it to the gym. And if I can fit in 5 10minute dances, I'm good to go for my workout. Plus it has a workout mode that gives you faster dances and tracks your calories! It's awesome!
