State of the Blog: Bar Exam Respite

Feb 17, 2022

The Bar Exam is next week. It’s been five years since the last time I passed it.  Almost seven years since I took my last law school final.  And I need to study.

Obviously, I’d rather be here, writing about shoes and lipsticks.  But if I fail, I’ll never live down the embarrassment.  See you soon.

xo, Abra

    You are so brave – just the idea of sitting for another bar exam (not to mention all the work while actually working!) is too much for me! Hope everything goes smoothly. You’ve got this!

  11. TheLOOP says:

    Good luck! You got this, lady.

  12. Megan says:

    Best of luck to you! You are a rock star for taking another bar exam. I almost withdrew my application to waive in to the Washington bar when I found out I would have to take the Washington Law Component test, and that’s open book! Taking another bar exam is a whole other level of impressiveness. We’re rooting for you!

  21. Christine S. says:

    Sending you all the good vibes!!

  22. Wellfedfred says:

    You will be fine. Memory from BAR-BRI: topic was mens rea – example: husband-wife are fighting, he grabs gun, shoots her, she dies.Class discussion ensues. “Yeah, but what if he only wanted to wing her?”

    Sending love & encouragement.

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
