The &*$% Bar Exam!

So I discovered that my bar review class is starting on December 19th. Unfortunately I have a final on Dec. 20th and graduation is on Dec. 22nd. Then I have to drive to back to Texas. So basically, I may have to miss the first week of bar review work. That also means that I might be driving back on Christmas day (talk about blowing chunks). That really doesn't bode well. :( I don't know what I'm going to do. Plus, there is this whole thing with my cat. My parents won't let my cat stay at their house while I study for the bar, so I may just have to leave my cat with a friend or board him for 2 months, or pay for an apartment for 2 months for the sole purpose of keeping my cat there. Did I mention that this really isn't a great thing. I don't know how this is going to work. I'm not excited either.

On a funny note, I was talking to my dad the other day and he asked how I was and how Taz was. Then he asked how "we" were. I told him that we were still dating. I suppose I could have been more specific, but I felt no reason to be. Then he asked me what Taz's intentions were. When I told him that I did not know what they were and he said, "Tell that boy that he is squandering my daughter's best years". Taz, Blondie, and I got a lot of laughs out of that one. "Squandering my daughter's best years." That has got to be the quote of the summer.

I have not done a damn thing on my med school applications in a very long time. I know that is bad, but I'm not motivated right now. The scary thing is that everything needs to be done by Sept. 1st. All my letters of recommendation have to be in, my secondary applications need to be in, and I need to have all this shit taken care of. Sept. 1st is my self-given deadline. However, Aug. 30th is also the deadline for the texas bar application. So basically I need to get my butt in gear and work on this crap like I've never worked on crap before. Lord help me! I mean I could file my application after Aug. 30th, but I'd be throwing away $150 since that is the late fee. Grrrrrrrrrrr. As it turns out (I just checked it out), the Texas bar application is incredibly easy. It is 38 pages, but I could honestly fill it out in less than 3 hours (and that includes the research I'd need to do). I no longer have any excuses. I guess that will be my project for my weekend in NY. Then I can make my dad pay for the application fee. I'm always thinking. :)

I'd write more, but my brain is fried. I think that I may have to press the reset button a couple of times before school starts to make sure that everything is running correctly. This summer was supposed to be a break, but working 50hrs a week is not a break. Some times you just can't see the most obvious things. Duh!
