"Guess what, I know you think you're a lawyer now, but turns out you have to pay an occupational license fee of $325 to actually be a lawyer. What? We failed to inform you of this before you spent thousands of dollars on the bar exam thinking you were done paying us money? Oh, you're still thousands of dollars in debt from going to law school? And you don't have a job yet? Ha, sorry not sorry." -- Alabama Bar Association

I'm submitting applications to get Bar admission in a couple more states with my UBE score and it's $50 just to have my score sent to one state, that doesn't count the application fees

You can call me Esquire

Two more days.

Still another week to wait until Bar results

One week

When one of the nice big study rooms at school is empty

The bar is less than two weeks away

Hey kid, wanna buy a negotiable instrument?

I got a copy of my Journal article in the mail

When someone my parents' age asks when I'm going to get married or have kids

I had an eye doctor appointment today and because I couldn't see close enough to read for the rest of the day, I took a day off from bar prep. Sounds relaxing, right?

If only studying for the bar was like this.

After I told my family what was tested on the bar exam and they said that sounded hard.

So... just had my first Bar related panic attack

When someone tries to cite natural law in some discussion with me

When it's Prof. M.:

 When it's anyone else.:

I just watched a three hour bar prep video that was supposed to teach me how to take a law school exam. What have I been doing the last three years?

Contracts Day for Bar Review

The job I had lined up fell through and now I have to look for another one.

Turning in my last school paper EVER.

I still have 37 more words to put into my Symposium Paper to reach the word minimum. I literally have nothing else to say. Whatever happened to word economy?

I graduated yesterday, and I didn't finish either of my papers beforehand. Now I have to finish them with a total lack of motivation.

You can call me Doctor... Juris Doctor

Forget Hollywood and their feature films, I've been glued to James Spann for four hours now.

It's 2:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday. Who the fuck calls in a noise complaint on someone playing acoustic guitar for ten minutes at 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon? My downstairs neighbor, that's who.

How I'm going to be walking up the steps to receive my diploma

I might finally get to do a trial this week. I just hope this doesn't happen...
