Some of my most favorite moments in life have been spent deep in the Sierras under cold, clear, starry skies. Along those backcountry roads, I fell in love with the man of my dreams and am now cherishing every day with him and planning a lifetime of adventures. We’re getting married in October 2009 and then heading off into the wild ocean-blue yonder on a 40foot sailboat for a who-knows-how-long sailing excursion. Right now, I’m slaving away as an office manager during the day and in the evenings working on criminal appeals. I’m licensed to practice law in California (since 2008) and this blog (and its followers!!) helped me maintain my sanity while I studied for the bar. I went to law school on the East Coast, but the grass was NOT greener, and I returned home to the Golden State in 2007 to take and fail and then finally pass that horrid horrid bar exam.
Since law school, this blog has evolved to document my bar experience, my struggles with finding a job, my struggles with enjoying the practice of law, my happiness with my sexy man, and now, the planning of our wedding. 
The thing I love about the blogging world is that no matter what stage of life I’ve been in, there have always been others to let me know I’m not alone…
Love your blog! I totally understand your pain. I am about to take the cali bar for the 8th time.
You have some great resources on your blog. I was wondering if you have come across any outlines for thge new california subjects in evidence, civ. pro. and Bus. Ass. If so, can you please point me in the right direction.
Thanks and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

“Saying, “I didn’t pass” reminds me of how it feels to say, “My dad is dead.” With each repetition of the words, the phrase gets easier and, yet, harder to speak. Easier, because each time you say it, it symbolizes a step away from the emotion attached to the words and they become slightly more objective. Harder, because every time you admit the fact, its truth becomes more deeply embedded inside of you, and the reality of it all finally starts to sink in.”
Brilliant.
