It turns out that studying for the California Bar Exam is about as time consuming and stressful as everyone says it is.
To give you a feel for it, I reviewed Criminal Procedure today. (Think Miranda Rights, Double Jeopardy, "I plead the 5th.") The four unit course was stripped to a three hour lecture. After watching the lecture, I spent the afternoon doing practice problems and cramming as much as I could into my already saturated brain.
And that was it for Crim Pro. According to my online course's syllabus, I will not be hitting this topic again all summer. And so it will go all summer, I'll hit a massive subject, like Crim Pro, for anywhere from one to three days before moving on to the next massive subject. Then, I'll have two weeks to review everything before I take the test. Yikes!
I really have enjoyed my little blogging hobby, but studying has made me realize just how many priorities I have that come before Scattered Snippets... sleeping, hanging out with friends, eating well, grocery shopping, exercising, spending time with my husband, calling my family, keeping my apartment clean, sitting and doing nothing, church, playing the piano, small group, to name just a few!
I may put up a couple posts over the next six weeks, but I very well may not. Either way, I'll be back in August.
I'll leave you with a picture. Studying makes me feel like this guy. But, slow and steady wins the race, right?
I was just thinking about you randomly today, and wondering how this ridiculous process is treating you...I think it was because I was getting nervous and it made me think of how Marisol told us about her bar experience. Anyway, I hope you're slogging through ok, and we should meet up sometime when it's all finally over! Hope all is well :)
