bar prep week 3 ;

implemented doing 15 multiple choice questions before beginning video lectures got through deep dives of torts and criminal law checked out a new cafe -- coffee was ok but the space was nice went to some pride celebrations worked out 5 days of the week

managed to keep the momentum going this week -- 7 weeks to go. averaging around 8 hrs of study a day with one day off a week and it's beginning to feel routine!

Bar Studiers, just over a week to go. I know you’re freaking out now and that’s ok.

Remember to sleep.

Remember to breathe.

Try to go outside or take a shower every day. Both, if you can manage it.

Try to eat. Try to drink things that are not caffeinated if you can manage it.

You can do this. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. You’re going to be okay.

This old lawyer (and I’m sure lots of others) are putting good vibes and love into the world for you.

You’ve got this. ❤️❤️

hello friends~ after a brief stress-induced hiatus, I’m back on my studyblr bs!

I was supposed to take the bar exam in october, but am genuinely considering postponing until february for the sake of my mental health and my LLM coursework. I committed to an accelerated LLM program at the same university before the bar was postponed from july to september and then to october. I’m still waiting to hear more about the logistics and am in the process of confiding in professors about all of this, but I’m more likely than not postponing. I had a very difficult summer, beginning with a death in the family, which caused my finals and bar study to be delayed. 

I also realized how completely miserable I’ve been trying to do full-time school and full-time bar study: I’m behind on my thesis proposal and haven’t gotten more than five hours of sleep in weeks. I want to enjoy life again and I want to succeed in my studies and spend time with my family. this has been a hard decision, but I think it’s what I’m going to do. I’m so happy to be back on studyblr.

Every time someone who doesn’t follow me likes one of my bar exam posts, I want to track them down and give them the equivalent of a hug.

It’s okay babes. You’re almost there. I promise you that you’ll make it through this.

Also, if you need a random old attorney to vent to, my inbox is open. I’ve been doing this in person for my associate. Happy to do it for some internet folks too.
