Satisfying the Elements

So, nothing's really changed around here stress-wise. Still manifesting physical symptoms of stress. Now, a weird chicken pox-like rash. I barely get any sleep, and my sleep is purely restless. I have bad dreams about law stuff. Like, every character in my dreams has to satisfy the elements of (some thing) before they can do whatever it is I want them to do, and it is purely frustrating because they NEVER satisfy the elements, so I wake up exhausted from trying to get these idiots to satisfy the elements of whatever it is. Sometimes, I'm like 90% asleep and I start thinking I need to satisfy the elements in order to fall asleep, but I can't satisfy the elements. "Satisfying the elements" is from studying - the prosecution has to prove the defendant's conduct satisfied the elements of whatever the crime is. Annoying.

No jobs in sight. Eighty-ish bucks left in the bank.

I don't know what I would do without my old man, he's the only thing that keeps me hanging on to my last shred of sanity. I would probably just give up, stop fighting the impending psychosis, and become a scary bum.

Yesterday we did a practice MBE in class. The MBE is the multiple choice part of the bar exam. Everyone in every state does the same MBE - 200 questions, 6 hours, 1 hour break after 3.

I finished both halves of the practice MBE with an extra half an hour, so time will not be an issue. And, I actually wasn't feeling as brain-fried as I had expected, so that was a relief. But, I did pretty bad - I definitely would have failed if this was real life. The annoying thing is I actually thought I did all right. But, I still have five weeks to study, so I should be fine. They're going to give us back our results with info on how all the other Bar/Bri students in the country did on the practice exam (to see how we compare to everyone else), and what our best/worst subjects are. Hopefully, a lot of people did worse than I did. I did really bad though.

Also, I know I told a bunch of people that I might not actually be graduating Cum Laude, even though that's what got announced at my graduation. Well, I got my final grades and a letter saying that I did get Cum Laude. So, yay me. Statistically, it's unlikely I'll fail the bar. So, I figure I have it, all I can do is screw it up now.

Back to studying. Corporations! Another boring subject I don't care about!

  2. you forgot to mention that the rash is located generally around your breasts and that you are going to have your mom examine them.

  3. ever since walter broke his head i've been having bad dreams where people are in trouble and i can't figure out how to help them.

    i don't know what cum laude means, but it sounds fancy so congrats.

    on a complete sidenote - yesterday i was looking at all the buttons on the calculator and i couldn't remember what all of the extra buttons did. like what the heck is a log? and the little exclamation point? darren was laughing at me. 7 years of math. wasted. and i still never found out what reference angles are.
