Final Days of BarBri

I can't believe we just had our last substantive law lecture yesterday. The topic was Community Property, which was probably my least favorite class in law school. Basically, Community Property is the warm fuzzy idea of marriage as an economic community, but it never becomes an issue until death or divorce. Thus, every case is depressing.

I'm feeling pretty good about my progress on studying. I do have to put some more time into learning the topics we most recently covered (since my ability to sit still and study for hours on end has waned considerably), but all in all I feel confident that I will do well on the exam. To keep my motivation up, I joined a study group of other BarBri students.

I'm most concerned about having to spend 3 six-hour days taking an exam. Even if I had a year to study, I think having to go through the exam itself would be stressful. With less than a month to go, I'm just going to have to get used to the idea.

Finally, here is a great article about saving money by going vegan. As a vegetarian, the most expensive groceries I buy are definitely dairy products, so I can certainly relate to the link between animal food and big grocery bills.
