Okay, so I've been away from here for a while. I'd say I am sorry, but that would merely be repeating myself and patronizing you. So here's a brief update of what's going on.
After I got sick the boy got sick because he didn't think it was fair that I had all the attention for so long. But, because he is who he is, he got sick bigger and better than me. His sick required multiple doctors and actual procedures. The biggest problem is that he is self employed and has not bothered to get himself insured for the health "care." So, not only is he out work from that stretch of time where he couldn't move without screaming in pain, he needs the money he could have made to pay for the necessary care. Also, I don't know how long I can put up with sick people, but apparently it's about 5 minutes to 5 seconds depending on how many days you've been broken. Yeah, I'm ready for kids. Do you see how nurturing that is?
Then there was the school stuff. It was a lot and it's not getting any less and the senioritis is getting worse. blahhhhhhh. I did write a 27 page draft of a paper in about 2 days, and I got 4 hours of sleep.
I took the first steps to taking the bar. There is a lot of stuff that they really don't tell you that you have to do and how expensive it's going to be. Things I've accomplished include filling out a lot of paperwork. For example:
I have filled out my moral character application in which I must swear that I'm not so shifty that I won't be a good lawyer (insert standard lawyer joke here). This includes needing to get five non-relative references, one of whom must be a licensed attorney. Thank goodness that I had a summer job, because that means I know a real lawyer.
Then I took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, or MPRE, which is a three hour test or your ethics knowledge. You have to get less than 50% to pass. It's essentially hoping that you fill in bubbles well enough that you don't look unethical. I do, however, know people who I don't think are stupid, who failed to pass...
I applied to take the CA State Bar Exam. It cost a lot of money and if I don't get to take it here, I have to take it in another city and it will be far away. BOOOOO.
That's about half an update. I have my spring break to talk about. I will drop this hint about that story: I did something that most people would never expect of me in Las Vegas that has nothing to do with gambling, strippers, or hookers, in fact it has nothing do with the location, it just happened within the county which could pique interest. Any guesses?
