On the Other Side

It’s been four and a half days since I completed the California Bar Examination.  To say I haven’t done much is an understatement.  I think today was actually the first day where I went beyond a 5-mile radius from my room.  Most of the time has been spent watching seasons of The West Wing and [...]

Perfect Timing

While looking for blank paper to start another performance test, I happened to come across random writing to myself. It’s from a lifetime ago. Before I went to law school and in the midst of preparing to take the LSAT. I just have to laugh at the similarities. Here it is:

Countdown: 6 Days

There’s this blog post going around the interwebs which details one person’s frustrations in connection with the California bar exam. Many of my fellow law school friends have re-posted it, relating to it’s general message. Which is: “Don’t tell me I am going to pass.” I understand the sentiment. Three days ago, I said that [...]

I find myself in the same state I felt when I was a senior in high school.  That place where you’re at the end of a stage in your life and you’re so close to that new beginning. You’re excited, apprehensive, scared, impatient, happy, and sad … (and lazy and unmotivated).  Senioritis. It’s hard to [...]

A Fault

Somehow, two decades have passed since I moved to the United States (for good). Twenty years. How did that happen?  That’s first grade through high school, four years of college, two years of hanging around, and two years of law school.  And in all that time, I have not been able to become fluent in [...]

Teh Awesome

It’s hard being awesome. I don’t mean to say that in a pretentious, snobby way as in, “I know that I am awesome, it’s tough being me.” But more in the way of: I forget that I am awesome and forget to BE awesome.
