Regarding the Bar: Meeting the Bogeyman in Open Combat

I met the Bogeyman.

He threw some strong punches: Essay Question #6; an irritating series of mortgage and lien recording questions; ridiculous joint-tenancy fact patterns. I cannot say I passed for sure, but neither would I be surprised if I succeeded.

So the Bar and I both made respectable showings, and now we've each retreated from the field.

The results should be posted mid-October, and then we'll see if I'll be visiting King of Prussia in February for a rematch, or if any future visit to the mall is purely voluntary.

Bar's Tuesday and Wednesday

The exam is Tuesday and Wednesday. Late this afternoon (or early evening) I'll head up to the Holiday Inn Express at King of Prussia, verify that everything is where I think it is, and then I'll do a little light shopping before the exam.

Also, Bar Prep continues to be unpleasant

Instead of enjoying a BBQ, I was rereading Bar Bri study materials.

Cleaning out my locker

Thursday I went up to school, enjoyed an Iced Coffee at the Bookstore, and cleaned out my locker. I felt sad cleaning it out, although removing my blanket triggered a fond memory of the time I camped out and took a nap on the lawn.

I've been eating okra every couple of days, thanks to the plant on my doorstep. (Supplemented, when needed, with frozen okra.) Stir-fried and microwaved, mostly. If I had one of these I'd probably be preparing a whole lot more corn-meal breading.

Zinnia on a Hot Day

It's taken me a while to get it growing nice and solidly, but the Zinnia is now doing a great job. Gorgeous flowers.

The Basil plant that used to be in my window is enjoying the sunshine. Note that it's now blooming again. The small little green plants around the base of the basil are marjoram.

One week of study left.

More Plant Theft!

My lavender plant was stolen! The lavender, in the white pot on the left, is seen here in a photo I took on the 13th at dusk.

While I am very disappointed at the loss, I've gone ahead and ordered new plants and pots from Burpee and Amazon respectively. There's not enough time in the season to grow the lavender from seed, so I've ordered the plants instead. Also, when the pots arrive, I'm going to pick up some

Regardless, I have one more day of work, and then I'll switch to study-only mode for the rest of the week. The bar exam is one week from this tuesday.

Tomorrow

I know it's been a few weeks since the last posting: as it turns out I did eventually recover from my sore throat.

Tomorrow is my last day in "class" for Bar Bri. The rest of the week I'll be studying on my own when I'm not at work.

Here in my neighborhood there's been a spate of vadalism: lots of graffiti. I'll try to post some pictures of the miscreant's work later, along with some more flower pictures.
