GOOD LUCK HARBLSA!

Duorum in solidum dominium vel possessio esse non potest = YOU are gonna totally pwn this thing!

thank u all! i am gonna try not to internet today as i go through every flashcard but i will be thinking about the sandbox.

good luck harbs

thx max max max max <3

can i just blog here

i don't know if i'm sufficiently stressing about this. i am flashcarding at such a leisurely pace.

this morning i did:
professional responsibility
agency/partnership
corporations

i'm getting hungry but i don't feel like making anything. maybe i'll do one or two more subjects, then eat.................

blog here, it will remind us to think good thoughts

eating a lunch i accidentally put too much soy sauce on

i did family law and civil procedure, maybe go back over criminal law next

kinda don't care and just want it to be over tbh. but i need to care enough to make sure it's really over!!

ok i have done

professional responsibility
corporations
agency/partnership
civil procedure
family law
criminal law
criminal procedure
secured transactions
commercial paper

stuff is sort of memorized. 5 subjects left.

keep going keep going

too tired. i have a small pile to go through at breakfast then i'm done

how do we encourage thee? let us count the ways.

1. make drinks for you, and then drink them

2. Chant "HARBL ROCKS" from the rooftop while facing east, in a city on the opposite coast.

3. develop an urgent need for lawyerly assistance

4. have some thurgood marshall drams tonight

5. make next harbl drink with a dram of thurgood marshall

guh ros

ok i am going to think to myself "i am fantasticat" if i get in a bind

leaving in about an hour. they don't start instructions till 8:45 so i don't wanna sit there for a half hour but on the other hand i don't wanna be late if something happens to me on the way

good luck and see u soon!

u r fantasticat

Go Harbl! Remember to breathe!

i will now smoke an encouraging cigarette for harbl

is it done, when is it done?

maybe day 1 is done by now?
hope you knocked it out, harbs!

hi
it 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!

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

i think you should go out to a movie. good distraction.
way to go!!

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 :(

i will probably just sit here and waste time on the internet

harbl! i'm glad you got through day 1.

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.

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.

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.

maybe your fruit flies will be up for a game.

ha that reminds me it's garbage day thanks

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.

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)

you are the only person in that exam room we care about.

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

tell us about the proctors

great! see you then

shall we bring anything?

choritho

i might try to negotiate a return to my old job

how was your big day in prison

it was actually very productive. i stopped at a farm store on the way back, got home way earlier than i expected, and will get $80 in mileage moneys

i bought a sewing machine

i made a tote bag

encouragement

and congrats on the sewing. that's so cool!

ongoing encouragement

Congratulations, your application for Irish citizenship through entry on the Foreign Births Register has been successful.

Comhghairdeas, d'éirigh le d'iarratas ar shaoránacht Éireannach trí iontráil i gClár na mBreitheanna Coigríche.

see also damnú, although none of these translations suitably suggest envy

AMAZING!!!

do you have your passport yet? have you started learning gaelic? when are you moving there?

we say 'irish' as a rule, although this is seemingly more and more a thing outside ireland- ive not noticed any different uptake of gaelic as a term used within our shores.

use this privleged information wisely

hi harbl. what will you do with this new set of powers at all at all

whats the gaelic irish for sinister silence

sorry for the silence, i have been doomscrolling and worrying and forgetting to visit the sandbox

i'm not sure i will do anything. the prospect of moving anywhere seems like a lot, including finding a new job. finding one in your own country is hard enough. i didn't get the passport yet but maybe i will do the application this weekend.

my dad has always said gaelic, i had presumed that's because his parents did but i'm not sure. he and my mom went last spring and visited a bunch of his cousins and their cows, and also the guy who lives in his mother's old house (who is not related to us, lol), and since then has been sending me instagram videos of like how to count to 10, etc. i'm old enough to know i will probably not learn it, i'm not feeling motivated or disciplined enough to do anything lately!

did you get the names of any of the cows

tbrr learning irish is a fine thing to do but it would be low down the list of things id be telling anyone to work on if assimilation was the point.

i dont have a list to hand but will start one.

good wellies
relish for gossip
a head for relatives and locals
knowing who doesn't be well, poor bugger
rascal spotting 101 (after speaking with)
rascal spotting 102 (from across a bar)
rascal spotting 103 (from across a field)
discussion of roads, weather, which roads youd take depending on weather, etc

does 'craic' cover items 2-7

depends on a number of factors but its hard to enjoy the craic with with feet id say

i think he did tell me the cow's names! but i forgot them

thats you suspect under #s 2 and 3 anyway

congratulations harbly, i still have not done this so i’m enthralled with your efficiency
