What I am not liking is this thing called the Multistate Performance Test which appears to have taken up about six hours more of my Bar/Bri time (or would have, had ... http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/the_ridiculousness.html So, yeah, I was out of town yesterday. I hoped to spend my traveling time consolidating my Bar/Bri notes and maybe making some flashcards. But my flight out was delayed by two hours (two hours!), turning my two-and-a-half-hour stretch of downtime at my destination into . . . ... http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/travel_repercussions.html It amazes me that we live in an age where one can fly across the country and home—and manage to get something done in between—in a period of less than 12 hours. http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/me_tired.html I'm pleased to announce that the student-written portion of the Law School Roundup will be taken over by ImNobody, over at Thanks, But No Thanks. Look for next Sunday's Roundup over there! I've really enjoyed doing the roundup for the last couple of years! Keep reading, everyone! http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/law_school_roundup_announcement.html I've begun making flashcards. I like it already—I can see that this studying method is actually going to be really useful for me. That is, if I can get my hand not to cramp up after writing out about twelve cards.

La ... http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/weekly_law_school_roundup_125.html Today has been a good day. Mind you, it didn't start out that way—I discovered what I thought was a major snafu this morning (OK, it was a snafu, though it wasn't as severe as I thought it was). It got me really down and I was, to be honest, ... http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/tgif_for_seriousness.html Finally, a Bar/Bri lecture that was useful, informative, and, frankly, bearable. After two days of "They almost never test this, but here's the rule anyway," we finally got a lecturer who gave us informed, frank estimates of how many questions on a given area we'd see on the bar ... http://divineangst.com/archives/2008/06/oh_so_thats_what_good_teaching_is_like.html
