Lost in the Bar

You know you’re studying for the bar when:

• Everything as a potential lawsuit: (1) The street people on the corner who as you for money are potential trespassers; (2) your friend’s drunk dialing to tell you “what a fun night you’re missing” is some sort of infliction of emotional distress; (3) you consider ceasing to pay your credit card bill because the contract is unconscionable.
• You openly fantasize about blacking out and being hospitalized for the week of the bar exam.
• You have legal Tourette Syndrome. If someone looks at you the wrong way, you automatically fire back with unintelligible legalease: Tort! Hearsay! Rule in Dumper’s Case!
• You suspect Miranda or Shelly would be hot if they were women and not rules of law.
• You have nightmares about fertile octogenarians.

Welcome, class of 2011, to bar studies.

California BarBri for most Boalties began earlier this week an judging by the facebook chatter I have seen so far, many of you are freaked the hell out. If that’s you, your feelings are normal, for what that is worth. Things will settle down a bit in the next few weeks and at any rate this whole thing will be over in a few short months.

In the meantime, feel free to use this thread to cry, vent, or anonymously ask questions about the bar exam that you would be far too embarrassed to ask in person. I hope you’ll find this to be a pretty supportive thread. Good luck!
