Entry 15-01.28.27
Ufda… it was hard to get out of bed this morning. Since I’d added jogging back into my schedule, my body wants a healthy amount of sleep again. Add to that the fact that my wife has today off… ...
Twitter: Considering Nepotistic Abuses
So… I just discovered that my Uncle and Godfather is now a regent at his old Alma Matter. Very cool for him… despite my envy, and I’m certain my father’s envy… I am always beyond thrilled to see...
Entry 15-01.27.26
As my mother would sing, “Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day.” Last night… may not have been smart for me to skip jogging in order to study more. Because I didn’t fall asleep u...

6:32 am This morning, I woke up drenched in sweat and shivering. Could be a fever, could be a natural reaction to sleep temperature vs awake temperature. The good news is I was up around 6 so I...

A Very Sincere Question: But first some background. I’ve been doing the studying thing for a while now. Not enough, obviously, but I still have 30 days before the exam. But I’m in a teeeny bit...

Twitter: Zuh?
Oooo these videos are becoming mind abusive. But the good news? The entire first 31 days of studying, I did 36 hours of studying. As opposed to this morning where I hit 36 hours just within the ...

Trouble sleeping, no surprise. So I am starting my Real Property Review videos super early. We’ll see how far into them I get before they put me to sleep. Good news is that if I can get throug...

Just stopping by to attempt to respond to notes. Keep pushing forward with bar study. And try to shake some dreams that keep coming after me. I’m starting to feel like a scene from one of my f...
Twitter: Baka Gaijin 馬鹿外人
I was going to write a quick hopeful thing here about Bar Exam Study… and then I realized it was the same crap I’ve been* saying and just haven’t followed through. SO**, with your permission, I’...
MLK Jr Day
A departure from the regular. One of the reasons many people had hoped I would go to seminary is I have a tendency to do sermons well. A pinch of dramatic, a helping of hope, a slab of text, an...

So… my wife is a huge Anglo-Phile. I am too, to be honest. Every year we try to make sure we watch The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Always a great time, always hilarious.... if I pass the bar, an...

Entry 15-01.15.16
Yesterday was quite the hard working day! So much so that, in my exhaustion and everything, I was tossing and turning all night! Bah! Time to see if I can make today just as hard working… poss...
Entry 15-01.14.15
Oh today is a day of hard work! And the wife has the day off… so the tense question… can I do all 12 hours of studying today even though the wife has the day off?! The “carrot” in this i...

Stupid cold weather. When I woke up today… the outside temperature was -6 F… the inside temperature (the room where I stay at my parents) was 60 F. VERY COLD. So, I chickened out and pulled the...

Twitter: The Unbearable Uniqueness of Boredom
::sigh:: Feeling a twinge of the ol’ existential crisis at the moment. I know I need down time, it’s bloody obvious that my brain can only take so much studying… but anytime I do less than 10 h...
Twitter: Bit of a Pop Over
Not as productive a day as I would like… made breakfast for the wife before she hurried off to work, fed myself, paid bills, picked up dry cleaning, balanced some of our banking, wrote an e-mail ...

Book Description
The adventures that take place in the year 2015 A.D. or for the scientifically inclined 2015 C.E.
My goals, set at the ending days of 2014, are as follows:
(1) I must pass the bar exam. On the chance that I do not pass in February; I will dedicate my entire existence to passing in July. After that attempt, I will attempt no longer.
(2) I must resolve this three year wedding photography issue. If we cannot receive the product we paid for, then a civil litigation may be necessary. We will receive our product, our payments, or our photographs… and if the civil remedies are too limited, I may file criminal charges.
(3) I must find employment. If I do not pass the Bar Exam, I must find employment in any field that provides a living wage; if I do pass the bar exam, I must find employment in my field.
(4) I must resolve the hanging issues of my marriage. Not only does this include working towards our long delayed Honeymoon… but this includes hard decisions, as well. Like… can I accept a marriage with no intimacy? Can I convince my wife of the importance of physical touch? Am I willing to risk another 3 years between sexual encounters? It isn’t fair to either of us for these questions to remain unresolved.
