California Bar Application - Completed!

Submitted the CA Bar App today. I dragged out the application process a little bit because I couldn’t decide whether to write or type the exam. My only fear about using the laptop software is that my computer will choose one of those two essay days to suddenly wig out (as it’s done at least once a year since I purchased it) and that, perhaps, is a stress I don’t need. But - I paid the additional $100+ to use my laptop and will just keep my fingers crossed that it behaves. I’m sort of irritated that the CA Bar doesn’t tell you what is needed for the bar app until the day they post it. Last month, I ordered transcripts from all my various schools in preparation for sending it to the Bar, figuring that’s the kind of thing they would ask for. BUT- CA contacts the school and the school has to send the transcripts in. So, basically, I wasted about $30 for nothing, and will actually have to pay the schools so they can send more transcripts.
I also finally completed my Moral Character & Fitness App. Went to the police dept to get the required finger-printing and while I was waiting, I listened to some undergrads debate which came first - beer or bread. Apparently, a professor made the comment, “The desire for beer may be what led to the spread of civilization…” According to Undergrad #1, “Beer is made from barley, and the desire for beer resulted in a barley surplus. People then used that extra barley to make bread - so, the discovery of bread, now a food staple, actually happened because people were trying to make more beer.” Undergrad #2: “Really? Do you really think that’s how it worked?” Undergrad #1: “Um, well, I am an archaeology major, so I think I would know better than you.”
