SUCCESS!!

Just wanted to drop a quick note and let anyone know who stumbles onto this blog that I passed the Texas bar on the first attempt, and I am being sworn in today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here We Go Again

The move back in November was fraught with drama - of course!  But as it turns out, I love Texas.  Here's what I don't love; having to take the Texas bar exam!!!  Back to square one.  I am girding my loins for February.  Here we go again ...

COUNTDOWN TO A BRAND NEW LIFE

I am getting married in 9 days and moving halfway across the country in 13 days. DAMN - real life has not only begun, it is on fast forward!!

MORE BAR-BRI NEWS

I got another check last week for sixty some-odd dollars. Shocked again! For the nosy folks out there, my last award check was summarily eaten by mandatory car repairs about four days after I received it. *le sigh*

Did anyone else reading get paid??

See previous Bar-Bri posts.

In other news, waiting to hear back after my first in-person interview in my new state. Stalled waiting for the next big step - AGAIN.

RANDOM UPDATE

Just in case anyone is still reading, I thought I should tell you that I am engaged and leaving New Jersey for the wild southwest. This means another bar exam, so you may be seeing me on a regular basis again.

You may now resume your day. ;)

BAR BRI CLASS ACTION UPDATE

WOW, Have not heard anything on this front since 2006! Well, color me shocked; I got a check in the mail today from BarBri for a little over $300! Never expected that to happen!

The accompanying letter says that it is a partial award and that the balance of the settlement fund will be distributed "After all outstanding appeals have been resolved". I think that pretty much the entire leftover funds will be eaten by attorneys fees (oh the irony), but still a check is a check. Being in the non-profit sector, I never turn away cash! Anyone other readers out there get paid?

I haven't posted in almost a year. Recently, I have found that there is a lot I'd like to say. Maybe I should start blogging again ....
