Hello!

So, I haven't posted in a couple of months -- not sure if anybody noticed.*

The reason is that I've spent the last two months preparing to take the grueling California Bar Exam after graduating from law school in May.  Today I arrived in sunny Santa Clara and tomorrow I will be sitting down, at long last, to grapple with the great beast that is the bar exam.

It's been a long two months preparing, and I have no assurances that I won't have to do this again in February.  I'm feeling pretty good though, and whatever happens, happens.  So wish me luck, if you would.  This post is a bit of a humble brag, but then again I haven't really earned anything, yet.

Hope to get back to posting regularly real soon.  It's been an interesting offseason, although a little lacking in excitement.  Can't wait to see the Celtics take the floor again!

Luck is the residue of preparation, good luck.

Good luck.  The important thing is don't get psyched out, even if the first few questions are harder than you anticipated.  Just realize that you're going to get a lot of questions wrong, and so will everyone else.

Yup, that's what I'm trying to keep in mind.  65% is all you need to pass.

Congrats on finishing law school and for all the prep work.  I'm not a lawyer but almost every close friend I have (and my brother) is one.   It's a noble profession (no matter what anyone says)!   

I look forward to reading your post-exam C's posts -- back to what really matters.

Best of luck -- you've earned it.

All the luck in the world, bro.

What an apt metaphor for the legal profession.  :D

Good luck dude!

I'm sorry, but you're going to get a 100% so why does it matter? ;)

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

What ever you do don't change you routine. Eat the same, sleep the same, drink the same as you did while studying.
Walking to the exam as if you were walking into a study session.
And good luck!
