barbri nightmare...

i don't think anyone who's taking the ny barbri course even reads my blog. BUT i'm going to vent about it anyway.

so some background...
i signed up to take this bar exam prep-course with a company called barbri. they claim they prep something like 80% of all candidates for the bar cross-country. that seems high to me... but whatever.

i dished out my $2600 and i'm taking the course. learnin' some laws. memorizin' some rules. praying to god that i'm going to pass this mission from hell come july.

i never thought barbri would be a walk in the park. i knew it was going to be tough... but... hello? the last lecturer was HORRIBLE.
not just horrible... but so horrible he was... creepy.

i went to the first two days of the ny practice lecture, sat through six hours of him talking... and at the end of the second day, i'd had it. i couldn't do it. i couldn't go in for the third installment.

so what did i do?
i didn't go.
played hookie.
begged and begged paul not to make me go. he finally took pity on me and let me stay home.

dear god.
what an experience.

is it me or these bar review lecturers REALLY weird????
the pmbr lecturer (on cd) barked during the crim law lecture. BARKED!
the crimlaw lecturer from barbri hopped around like a bunny at the podium. the corporations lecturer spouted off all the characters in the andy griffith show. the conlaw lecturer was spewing bad puns all throughout the 2 days. why don't people just hand me a dull spoon and ask me to carve out my own heart? i think that might be a little more bearable.

(okay, okay... all of this is a little out of context. but come on!)

agency tomorrow.
the prof is from chicago.
we'll see... we'll see....
