hiit was ok. i know i botched a couple things and forgot some stuff in my haste but everyone did. i wrote something for every question. the only big failures were a contracts question i got frazzled on and answered in a really bizarre order and part of an evidence question that had a rule i could never understand (but it had 6 parts that i answered most of). secured transactions question was identical to one i did in practice. no con law questions. ok not gonna think about it anymore!
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:02 (fourteen years ago) link
anyway i think i'm gonna pass. multiple choice all day tomorrow, which is hard, but more studying won't help. i don't know what to do with myself!
i keep thinking of what other stuff i did wrong. it's so hard not to ugh

there doesn't seem to be anything i want to see. maybe i'll start a new book. had to bring both of my books back before they were done :(
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:23 (fourteen years ago) link
i will probably just sit here and waste time on the internet
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:34 (fourteen years ago) link
harbl! i'm glad you got through day 1.
― estela, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link
yes! thank you estrella.

GOOD JOB!!!! You made through the first ever day of this special kind of hell. (xpost)
Is there a small animal nearby you can play with? Rolling around on the floor playing with one can be excellent.
― jaq, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:42 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i can play with the cat but she sleeps from 8 am to 9 pm mostly. now i am watching her sleep half on her back with her legs spread open and in the air. yesterday when i was laying on my back reading flashcards out loud she would jump up on the bed with a chirp and lay down on my stomach. lol cats.
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:47 (fourteen years ago) link
one thing i was amazed at was the number of people who didn't come back for the afternoon session! there were a number of empty seats. that must feel bad.
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:48 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe your fruit flies will be up for a game.
― estela, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:50 (fourteen years ago) link
ha that reminds me it's garbage day thanks
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:53 (fourteen years ago) link
a good thing to consider about all those empty seats this afternoon is that those who complete the exam must have a much higher pass rate than the statistics indicate.
― estela, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:56 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, the scores are also adjusted so anyone that shows up and gets only a few points is bringing down the mean score, which is good (for me)
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 22:59 (fourteen years ago) link
you are the only person in that exam room we care about.
― estela, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:33 (fourteen years ago) link
you guys shoulda seen how many people in the room though! it's in a convention center "expo hall" so if you imagine an "expo" of your choice, it's the room without the boat 'n' rv show exhibits and just rows and rows of tables w/ 2 people at each. about 2/3 of the room is for laptop people, the rest for handwriters. it must have looked so strange to a normal person, or maybe if an alien came and this is the first thing it saw.

they have those downstairs below my work and it's always CPA tests. one time there were a bunch of girls out front waiting for the test to get over, holding signs to congratulate their boyfriends. my favorite sign said THE SUMMER OF OUR LIVES STARTS NOW
― jergins, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:46 (fourteen years ago) link
tell us about the proctors
― te,he (tehresa), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:47 (fourteen years ago) link
i hope someone shows up tomorrow holding a sign for me! xp
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:49 (fourteen years ago) link
proctors were late-middle aged black people without exception
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:50 (fourteen years ago) link
that's all i know about them
maybe employees of the state board of law examiners? or some other state agency or the courts
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:52 (fourteen years ago) link
i used to proctor tests, however i was neither late, nor middle aged, nor black, nor an employee of the state board.
i was just a person picking up an extra 50 - 75 bux on a saturday morning.
― lxy, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link
did u ever catch anyone cheating?
― jergins, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 00:05 (fourteen years ago) link
hmm possibly. maybe some retired people then. i just assumed they would make all their secretaries come in and proctor.
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 00:06 (fourteen years ago) link
no but i heard some girls talking about it on the way out how some kid kept writing after they said stop. that definitely reflects poorly on his trustworthiness, honesty, and fitness to be a lawyer.
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
scandalous!
― te,he (tehresa), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, once. don't remember the details, i just passed it along to the proctor boss. not veey exciting.
― lxy, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
i gave the cat some whisker lickin's treats as an apology for leaving her alone all day and the back of the bag says
There's a Scrumptious Variety For Every Mood!
When you curl up with your cat, something truly special happens. Make the most of the moment by giving a treat so delectable, so savory, your cat won't want the moment to end.

pretty soon you will be a lawyer and i will be unemployed what do you think of that
― max max max max, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 01:07 (fourteen years ago) link
well fortunately for me even if i'm unemployed i'll still be able to call myself a lawyer as long as i don't engage in any conduct that reflects poorly on my trustworthiness, honesty, and fitness
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 01:12 (fourteen years ago) link
i think you should look into dentistry so you can be more like my new hero, russian-american lawyer/dentist/real estate agent and keen investigator into the provenance of barack obamas birth certificate orly taitz
