On Friday the 13th *spooky*, I argued my first (of many) Summary Judgment Motions just short of 1 week out of law school, and much to my delight my motion was granted on May 16th at precisely 4:26 pm CST!

This week I began my “Pre” Bar Review… Jesus Be A Fence!

Part of me wants to immerse myself into my studies RIGHT NOW, I feel guilty every time I do anything not bar related, however I’m told that this is normal. I’ve been encouraged to use this week to gather my bearings as well as to close out my social life by midnight Saturday! I’m on target for that…

Sooo, where am I going with this blog? I guess I’m still trying to figure it out. I’ve decided I’ll try to blog once a week even if it’s just to say “Dammit”. I’m sure the times will all be late at night. I figure I’ll need to get some frustrations off my chest or tell a silly joke about the lady who passed gas in the line at Chik Fila and I looked at her and said, “You stink!”

I don’t know what to expect over the next 2 months. Everyone has a story about what I will face, what I should do, what they did, what they didn’t do etc…

May 22nd  (looked at calendar wrong) 23rd will be my OFFICIAL BAR REVIEW KICKOFF! 9am classes!

There’s no real plan besides studying and passing, PERIOD! It’s like being on line: rise early, eat every morning, get ya butt to class, stay off the grass (grass here is FBK & TWTR), be at the SPOT on time wherever that may be, and don’t get caught slipping… Instead of hell night, there will be 3 Days which will test my endurance, memorization and knowledge… After this is accomplished I’ll be ready to be “pinned” and to take that oath!

GPA no longer matters, being #2 no longer matters, being an intern no longer matters… Nothing matters but busting my ass so that I can kick the bars!
