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.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
