HI ABBA GIRL!
Good for you that you're studying for the bar!!! The results came out today as matter of fact. You are on borrowed time and the sooner you pass the more complicated your life will be-but its a good thing!
Good luck!
Keep studying, abbagirl! You can do it.
I just found out on Friday that I passed!
Good luck with the bar.
On an unrelated note--the Pride and Prejudice comic is real? I'd taken it for an April Fool's Day joke.
1. I'm not a treky, but Star Trek was quite good. Go see it, fo sho.
2. I wish I wanted to run as much as you do... It would do wonders for the derriere.
3. I'd be more than happy to email my Bar outlines to you. They seemed to work for a friend this past exam, who hadn't taken BarBri. Just let me know. :)
4. You can definitely do it!
thanks for the good wishes about the bar exam, everyone! means a lot. :)
c.w.: congratulations!! bad ass!! you rock!
OEd.T.: i remember when i first heard about the P&P comic, too, during the first week of april. i thought it was a total prank, too -- until i just happened to see part one in the magazine rack at border's. it's a pretty interesting read as a comic. you lose all the nuances and subtleties of the original austen text itself, but the writers do a great job of keeping true to the spirit of the novel, i feel. it's just a different feel to have the story told using both dialogue and drawings -- i kind of like it! and part two is even better than part one! part two was just released on the 13th.
stella: on a good day, i actually do feel that there is more of a lift and bounce to my butt as a result of this running! LOL!
i'd also love to take you up on your offer of bar outlines. :) but will you let me pay you for them?? please do!!
