Gosh darn it I’m lame. All that drama and buildup right before the bar exam and then in the month following that little adventure all I do is make a post about reincarnation nonsense.

So yeah. It has been a month tonight since I was out past my (now routine) bedtime living it up as only those who have just taken a bar exam can. I can’t believe a whole month has gone by. I remember everything about those three days as though it were yesterday. In some cases I’ve had more nightmares about the bar since the test than I did preparing for it (usually involving me being late and/or not having the right ID to get in). Of course overall I’ve largely put it out of my mind (okay, except for the daily jolting notion that runs through my head as I consider having to take the damn thing again). I usually placate any notion of failure by picturing the “this name appears on the pass list” wording on my computer screen in a couple of months.

I know anyone who still follows this blog is probably wondering: what does he mean by, “now routine,” when referring to bedtime. Well it means that due to the demands of my new job (arriving ~8), one that is great even though it did start a mere week after the bar, I have to go to bed ~10 every night to be effective (note that this is posting ~12). I won’t be posting really anything at all about the job, for obvious reasons such as that I am extremely grateful to be employed in such a dismal post-law school job market, but I am still trying to think of ways to maintain a public conversation online without the benefit of law school to rant and rave about. I’ll come up with something.

In the mean time, make sure to check out Superbad. It was great- although it’s the first time I’ve seen a sort of teenage humor film and thought to myself that I am definitely at a different stage in my life now. At least I can still fondly remember trying to secure beverages for a party while not have the appropriate credentials. McLovin. Genius.
