Spring is in the Air

As we are only a mere 48hrs away from saying goodbye to February and welcoming in March, I’m really hoping that the old saying, “March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb” is true. March promises to be a busy month and the first few weeks are going to fly by, I know. March starts off bittersweet - March 2, I download the Bar Application, knowing I only have one month to compile all that required information. March 8, I wake up with a big fat sloppy grin on my face knowing I will, that evening, finally be with my sexy man again after a torturous, seemingly endless two month separation. The world will stop for us until March 19 when I’m back in the Burg contemplating my final month and a half as a law student (or any kind of student for that matter!) At the rate I’m going now, though, the end of the month promises to be anything but “lamb”-like. There’s that whole application thing to deal with, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the SF Superior Courts will call me back to CA for an interview. Not to mention, those 5 classes of mine and GRF projects raising their ugly head week after week.

(I can’t believe they only give us a month to complete the Bar Application. I still haven’t sent in my Moral Character and Fitness Application either. UGH. Why do I do this to myself? The thing has been sitting on my kitchen table for a month already and I’ve yet to even fill in my name.)

Recently I’ve been checking back in with more of the “blawgs” since all the Feb folks are getting ready to start their exams tomorrow… I think I need to stop because it makes me more nervous. How do you study for the Bar? How do you create a study guide for yourself and cover all the subjects? I feel like the MBE isn’t going to be SO bad, because at least some of that stuff is actually still in my head from first year, but what about the California subjects? How am I going to learn those?? One of the blawgers posted a few sample MBE questions on her site, and as I read them, I thought - “Hmm… This doesn’t even look like english to me.” Yeah, THAT’S promising. My next mission for Bar preparation is to find out how to make a study plan. What to include, how many MBE’s/Essays/Practice Tests I should try to take each day or each week. I don’t even know where to begin, but there’s got to be some information out there somewhere.

In non-law school news, my old roommate from SF just called me the other day and said that I could stay in her place, alone, for FREE during half the summer while she travels around Europe. A 3 bdrm apt in The City all to myself for a month and a half… I have to admit that it wasn’t so much the “free” part that got me as the “alone.” The thought of possibly never again having my own place has made me physically ill at moments. Sometimes I love having a roommate, other times I long for the total anonymity and freedom that comes with living tout seul. I can’t believe this opportunity just dropped in my lap. I feel like it’s another sign that this is the right thing for me to do, the right place for me to be.

Purchasing memory is such a time consuming process... You have to search online for prices, filter through which ones are genuine, go out to a bunch of stores,compare prices, finally buy your memory, and then constantly pray that the price doesn't drop in the next two weeks or so.

I've been done in by rapid price drops in the past... especially this one time when I bought a Micro SD for my DS flashcard at what I mistakenly assumed was a steal, only to later see that it had dropped by $5 in a week.
