28 day to do list...COUNTDOWN TO THE BAR

We are now in the half-way point of the bar review study. 28 more days, and we tired souls, stressed out bodies, and exhausted minds, will give our best shot, in passing the CA bar exam soon. Didn't think I'd even make it this far, but now that I am here...I am not sure if I detest it or I welcome it. The task is never ending, just never ending. The to-do list, never gets done. You learn to live with very little joy, and in constant desire to improve, to get better, to do more, to push through. However, I need to, I must pull through this last hurdle. I will keep digging, hoping that there is gold buried somewhere in this pile of crap.

I looked around me in class today, and everyone looks so burnt out. Each one has a story of sacrifice. Who will make it? Who will not?

I am going to aim to do more, much much more....as we get closer to the DAY!

1. Must Do 1,500 more Multi-State Bar Exam Questions
2. Must Write Out THREE (or more) Full Practice Exams for each 16 bar subjects tested
3. Save the last two weeks to MEMORIZE RULES
4. Review Exam Approaches

I am soooo behind.... It is past midnight, and my list is still as long, as when I started the day this morning.

How do some people still make the most of each 'marathon' day? How do you start a new day when you haven't even ended the previous one yet? Gotta learn, gotta learn...

Dreams....

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

- Langston Hughes

Unhappiness

Unhappiness

• emotions experienced when not in a state of well-being


• state characterized by emotions ranging from mild discontentment to deep grief

The chief cause of unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want in the moment...

Faith-Based Constitution????

Mike Huckabee is promising to build a border fence within 18 months if elected and elaborating on his belief that the constitution needs to be amended.

He says “I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And thats what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.”

Separation of Church and State, anyone?

Rescued Dogs and their stories....

This was Teddy when he was rescued by Bichon and Buddies.

This is Teddy now....Brown eyes, brown nose, 30 pound Bichon Poodle that has given me so much love over the last three years, since I rescued him .

I often wonder how his previous owner could give him up or lose him. Teddy has so much so give.

I wonder what his life was like, prior to being a part of mine.

I know he is just a dog. Others wouldn't understand, unless they have a rescue, or if they have looked a rescued dog in the eyes.

Please do not buy a puppy from a pet store or a backyard breeder. Adopt one.

Read some of their stories...
