a PT-ish kind of day

by that, i mean, Pretty Tiring. i pretty much just got up from a five-hour nap. if a five-hour snooze fest can be considered a nap.

it was also Public Transportation day. i took the the train downtown again to avoid paying for parking. it was a nice mellow ride.

we had a Practice Test run at the bar review class today. today was a simulation for day 1: 6 hours of essay-writing.

i had a Performance Test melt-down. had absolutely no idea how to answer the practice MPT question at all. i mean, i thought i did until i re-read the prompt about 90 minutes into it and realized i'd miscued. damn it. it was a question that was actually used on the july 2001 california bar exam. so in other words, i would've failed the summer 2001 bar exam, too. but overall, i'm glad i did it -- because i know that i just need confidence in my ability to pull out the rule from my ass even if i don't know the exact rule verbatim and also because i now know where my weak areas still are (covenants!!!). but the other girl who's usually my partner in crime called in to say she was sick -- and she has missed a lot of classes -- so not sure how dedicated she is to passing, which makes me worried for her sake . . . .

Poultry-Tending day. just kidding -- my hens are not poultry. i just Pilfer Their eggs. and they were Pretty Ticked that i hadn't come out to see them for a while. oh, and i also came across a mouse in the food bin; i've no idea how it got into a sealed bin that is four feet off the ground with completely unclimbable sides. and when it jumped out at me, i Panicked The hell out and screamed like, well, a girl.

but the main reason why today is a PT-ish kind of day: i will be Perpetually Thankful to the anonymous commenter who took the time to craft that excellent explanation of the moore approach to my post from the other day. i've read through anonymous' explanation six times now, and it is amazing how clearly i understand it. it is really the best explanation i've ever seen.

thank you so much, anonymous. you've totally made my day. and i've got no words for how grateful i am.

:)
