  • 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…

  • Countdown: 9 Days

    In the final lectures, we were told that our role is not to determine whether we will pass or fail the bar, but to show the minimum competency required to be a lawyer in the state of California. Ever since that impart, I’ve been trying to keep my mind off whether I am right or…

  • And now onto happier topics…

    In the last few weeks, I have been going through some changes.  Ch..ch..ch…changes.  And strangely, I’m pretty okay with it.  There was a time when I would constantly talk about change.  Change this, change that, oh why oh why can’t I change – that sort of thing.  I was stuck in this view that some…

  • In a State of Transition

    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…

  • Quarter-Century: The Obligatory Post

    It’s been 25 years of life for me (well almost or already, depending on how you count the days and hours), and I will admit that I did not expect most of what has happened.  But you really anticipate what’s going to happen; you just have to go with what’s given to you.  And maybe…

  • Barely Treading Water

    I love learning about the law.  From learning the different rules to how to bend them, I love learning about the law.  It’s almost instinctive for me; the logic of it all makes my brain fire up. But I am also extremely frustrated right now.  Most of it is caused by the impending finals and…

  • So… That Didn’t Work

    Apparently, my body wanted to sleep rather than work out after I got home.  It didn’t help that I kept getting distracted in something that I shouldn’t stick my nose in, no matter how much it touches upon on my life. I need to catch up on a lot of things this week.  Since the…

  • “Nothing but the rain”

    Tonight marks the end of one part of my life and the beginning of the next.  I have a plethora of thoughts running through my head but I’m finding it difficult to put it into words.  There’s excitement and curiousity about what’s to come, but also a bittersweet nostalgia of all the things that I’ve…
