1 month on...

Can't really believe that it was a month ago that day 1 of the bar exam began! Now exactly too! On the one hand it seems like it was only yesterday and so i can't believe that it's been a whole month but on the other hand I've done so much SINCE the bar that it almost seems strange that only a month has passed! I know that IS very contradictory and i have no idea how my mind manages to reconcile the two... if at all but whatever.. it seems STRANGE!

Lisa has now gone back to LA so i have regained control of my laptop! lol - we visited Ireland early last week and it was great fun - went around Dublin first coupla days then on the last day took a minibus tour up into the 'mountains' and to parts that the huge tour buses couldn't get to... great scenery!

Then this time last week we drove to a tube station outside of London and tubed into London and wandered round most of the day - visited portobello road (kinda boring) and went to this Ice bar that was cool (LITERALLY) - it's kept at -5 (degrees C) and you go in with these huge parka jacket things and get served a drink in what is basically a large ice cube with a hole carved into it. Would definitely recommend it just as an experience if anyone goes to London (just off Regent's Street).

As for bar stuff - have emailed coupla lawyers in the US looking for work - really don't know the best way to start or who to focus on... just playing the law of averages and hoping that if i talk to enough people maybe one of them might 'bite'!

Finally worked out how i'm gonna get fingerprints done for this California moral certification thing - been trailing around police stations here but it seems, unless you commit a crime, they don't do fingerprinting anymore. Found out where the police headquarters is though so gonna head over there once i get back from Denmark... yes i am flying out once again... (last time for a while!) to Denmark on Tuesday - to see my mate.. think i probably mentioned this here before. Looking forward to it actually - should be good break then back home and must start working to attempt to move from being beyond bankrupt to just debt ridden! lol

Busy Busy Busy...

Can't believe it's been a whole week since i last wrote on here! Been meaning to for ages just ended up being crazily busy - Lisa came back to England with me so have been going out to places I wouldn't normally bother with so she can see places other than my house whilst she's here. PLUS it's my sisters wedding this saturday - still can't believe it - she only just turned 21! I'm almost 23 and not nearly ready for marriage yet! lol

So as you can imagine it has been pretty busy - plus the whole trying to tidy up/organize my room again following the last month of putting things off and piling things up... if i end up retaking i have to make sure i keep track of bills that NEED TO BE PAID and not just putting them in a pile and thinking i'll get around to it!!

The bar-related dreams have begun to ease off slightly - haven't had one last coupla days but they seem to spring up now and then - alll relating to being back in the exam and mostly relating to not having enough time or something!

After this weekend (when the wedding is) me and Lisa gonna fly to Ireland for coupla days - she always wanted to go, i never really thought about it! Might be fun to see someplace different for a bit - considering renting a car to cover a greater area whilst we over there!

Home!

Ok finally home - was back like day before yesterday but obviously had a lot of crap to do - trying to gather up all me Cal Bar books and put them all together in a box and hide it a way somewhere until November time! I still got loadsa new york books which i kinda wanna sell but they are like 2006 books and there really isn't much of a market for them here in england - can't think of what else i can do to them - wonder if you can send it back to them?

Crazily I had a bar dream last night - i believe it's the first one and it wasn't actually a 'postbar' dream but instead was a pre-bar one - dreamt that kept running out of ink and kept being late there - woke up freaking out slightly but then realised ID DONE IT! lol

New football season starts soon! :)
