Hold up, wait a minute, let me put some pimping in it!


Deciding to blog was the easy part. Now I have to decide how to make the blog an extension of my greatness-aesthetically speaking, that is. So, as I learn and attempt to venture into the world of html, please be patient. There are times that you may see the page change two or three times. If you like something on the page and then I change it, please let me know. If you know html, please help! The above photo was taken from www.afrikids.com. Afrikids is a Child Rights Organisation, which works along indigenous communities in Ghana to improve the quality of life for rejected and vulnerable children.

As for the bar, I received the Micromash materials in the mail on yesterday, and I am reading over the introductory guide. (For all you Georgetown Bartenders-I am taking a self-study course called Micromash. Yes I know that everyone else takes Barbri. Yes, I placed my deposit to lock in. I decided that a self study bar review course would work better for me. I decided to assert my legal independence and venture into the world where only the brave will go by escaping the antitrust jungle that is Barbri, but I digress. . .) My next step is to create a schedule. From my understanding that's the most important component of adequate bar preparation. The publishers recommend 175 hours spent on state specific material and another 175 hours spent on the MBE (multi-state bar exam). I estimate that I will be spending two 8-hour days on the weekend, and 6 hours a day during the week studying if I stick to a 6 week schedule. Intimidating. If I stick to this schedule I should have some review time at the end of the summer. Which would be nice.

I should mention that the bar exam is going to be held in Albany, NY on July 24-25, 2007. I just booked my airfare! Woo hoo!!! Southwest was having a sale. I called Winter and Barbie**, two of my friends that are also taking NY Bar. Winter had already booked her airfare, so as usual, she lost out on the deal. But I helped Barbie save some money. Now I just need a hotel room. And of course every hotel in Albany has been booked for 2 years, by crazed and obsessed law students from all over the world. Am I going to ever escape them!!!


Other things that I did today: Baby and I got Beamers washed. Went to breakfast. Went to Law Center to get handwriting specimen for NY Bar Examiners and also submit transcript request for the same. Went to work. Worked.

Tonight I am planning on doing something fun, sadly I am going to be missing Winter's graduation party.

I'm also using micromash but not as brave as you, so i'd be incorporating some of barbri materials for the essay portion.
