July has been the worst month this year--you can understand why, what with the Bar and the Bar Review course and all.  July also has the most entries, since I would use my study breaks to update my page.  So I guess we both lose in July.

When you get an eyelash in your eye, but instead of getting it out, it just disappears, where does it go?  Are there hundreds of eyelashes stuck at the back of your eyeball?  Creepy.

Veni, vidi, vici?  Doubtful.

'Twas the night before the Bar,
And all through the house
Not a creature was sleeping,
Because they're all stressed out.

Just a few hours before the Bar, now, and I'm a little scared.  I've studied; I've prayed; and I'm trying to trust God.  We'll see what happens.

The Bar Exam is tomorrow.  I've been studying at least 12 hours a day for the past two weeks, and you'd think that would be enough.  I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping, mostly in the area of actually falling asleep.  Last night I couldn't get to sleep for over two hours.  I'm worried that I'm going to repeat the LSAT incident, where I only got four hours of sleep and nearly tore up my exam booklet during the test.  This is going to be tough.

Never settle.  Or as a friend puts it, "Single before settling."

I have a theory that America is not actually more violent than Europe.  The violence just manifests itself differently; it is differently distributed.  Europe has many more violent strikes and riots than America, while America has a more constant undercurrent of violence, but the violence is roughly equal.

I think your spouse should be about as intelligent as you are; otherwise you will grow bored and resentful of your partner.

To follow up on yesterday's promise:  an ostrich's eye is larger than its brain.

The ostrich is the only bird that urinates.  Tune in tomorrow for more interesting ostrich facts.

There is a secret to travel.  It's not time or money--these things help, but really, you can make the time, and great bargains are relatively easy to come by.  To travel all it takes is the will to travel; everything else falls into place if you have that.

The purpose of manners is threefold:  to show the person that you respect them, to put them at ease, and to provide a forum for diplomacy.  By forum for diplomacy I mean that manners supplies people with a set of rules to follow that eases and confines hostilities, while offering a shelter for parties to retreat to.

Yippee!  The Bar Review course is over!  Now only two weeks until I sit for the Bar.  (What you don't pick up on by reading the text is the undercurrent of fear and trepidation in that statement.)

Hey, guess who upgraded his RAM to 128 Meg?!

The Show was great--the best yet!  In other news, the Bar Review course continues to erode the motivation and morale of the attendees.

Well, I'm leaving off the dictionary feature for a little while--it's just too much of a hassle for me to deal with right before I go home this weekend for my annual Fireworks Extravaganza!  I am fiercely partiotic, and Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays.
