I decided to create a new blog to chronicle my experience with the bar exam. Then I can look on it later and fondly remember how much this summer sucked.
Tonight was my first class of Barbri. If you recall from the other blog, Barbri is the bar review course that just about every law student takes. Barbri has a monopoly on the market. Seriously, a group of law students got together and filed a class action lawsuit against the company for antitrust violations. It was awesome. Totally the wrong group of people to piss off.
The class is in the Atlantis in one of the conference rooms. The good part is that we're right around the corner from the game room. So I can totally go out and play dance dance revolution on our breaks.
The bad part is that it's a conference room, so the tables are narrow and there's not a lot of space for a laptop plus the huge ass books that we're supposed to bring to class. Also, the chairs are very uncomfortable after a while. We get 10 minute breaks every so often, so I guess that's good.
Basically the way it works is we go in and watch a DVD lecture. Yes, that's right. I paid over $2500 to go and watch a DVD. They have "live" lectures in some places, where a real person is talking to you. But even then, you can't ask them questions. So either way, you have no real way to get help if you don't understand something. It's complete bullshit, but it is what it is.
We received our study schedule. It looks pretty intense. So although I created this blog, I can't promise it will be updated regularly. Probably it will devolve into a bitch fest about how much I hate studying. But I'll also try to post anything amusing or funny that happens during class or studying.
I'm going to try my damndest to go see a movie once in a while. I definitely want to see all the big blockbuster movies while they're still in the theaters. So maybe I'll make sunday afternoon my time off. Otherwise I'll go insane.
Worst. Summer. EVER!
