Bragging and American Idol
Disclaimer: I am really self-conscious about this post. I wouldn't put it up here if I actually kept a non-web journal on what's that stuff called...oh yeah...paper. I very much wish my blog had the option of private postings (although blogger, i'm still happy with my choice to have my home here (see: my old xanga blog). So please, if you're a judgmental person STOP READING!

(if you scroll more, you have to promise not to judge me...)
(one last chance!!)
i hate for this post to solely be about bragging so before I brag, I want to say that there will be a future post about American Idol. (no, I don't watch the show...but I have a theory/observation that I want to blog about...AND I will say that I turned my tv on last night & put it on silent & went into the other room just to be one of the millions of people who had it turned on...)
Fine. You're here. But so is:
Disclaimer #2: I hate grades. i hate how unfair law school grades are...how the time (or effort) slash return ratio doesn't really work (see: my grade in international business transactions ("IBT")...how even the "how much you 'care' about a class" or how much you've researched the issue in the "real world" slash academic return ratio doesn't work always either (see: my grade in employment discrim)
so! only for this extra special occasion will I give "props" to myself. How old am I? How many years have I been in school? This was the last semester of my whole entire life & I am proud to say I went out with a bang. What does "a bang" mean? For the first time in my life, I got all A(-)s!!!!
and...i *sorta* got a job! in philadelphia!! (if you care & want to ask me, i can explain that *sorta* in person or over the phone...it's actually a funny story). And I love this firm!!
Okay, bragging time is over. Back to reality. I'm scared shitless of the bar. I haven't really eaten in 2 days (other than the snacks I bring to BarBri - red bull, cheez-its, etc. and a half of a sandwich (today) and a soup (yesterday)) and I'm completely overwhelmed with the fact that I have *no idea* how to study (i.e. i know what I'm supposed to do...but I don't know what works for me as to how to do what I'm supposed to do...e.g. do i read the long outline first? do i read the short outline first? how many problems should i do in one night?...etc.)
any advice would be helpful!

SOME AWESOME ADVICE (from an anonymous co-barbri student sitting for the July bar...). I thought I would share with people:
I get up at 7:00, head to barbri and listen to my cd's on the way
then from 8-8:30 or so i start going over an outline, then lecture from 9:00-1:00, then i come home (while listening to cd's), then eat and watch t.v. until around 2, then i read an outline, do the 40 questions barbri tells you too, review the answers and what i did wrong, then read the outline again, then do 50 pmbr questions, review them and what i did wrong, and then try to read an outline again before going to bed at around 11:30 or midnight
[i read] the convisor...no reason to read the long one unless you haven't taken the class before
the long outline is to be used if you have a problem or question in a certain area
i do both barbri AND 50 pmbr questions...however, I have been recently told by multiple people that I am a freak of nature...so if you have time to do only barbri or pmbr multiple choice, do the pmbr, they are better and harder

Doesn't barbri give you a schedule to follow? Just trust in the system and good luck.
