on hiatus

dearest peeps,

i shall depart for a week or two, first and foremost to take the damned-bleeping bar exam.

at this moment, i regret spending entirely too much time online - reading blogs, chatting on facebook, google searches - when i should have been memorizing legal elements of how to use character testimony to impeach a witness and shareholder derivative suits (huh? don't ask me, i still don't know what the hell those means either, but in exactly 5 days i may be expected to write an essay on either or both topics).

it is with sad remorse that i must bid you - and the entire internet in general - a fond farewell so that i can retreat to my sterile hotel room and cram as much as possible into my thick-stubborn-unwilling to learn-unfocused-easily distracted head about the aforementioned topics, along with thousands of other minute and conflicting boring details.

Alas, you're favorite soon-to-be lawyer needs you to keep your fingers-crossed, and is desperately soliciting good thoughts, prayers, wishes, karma, and anything else that my help solidify my future career by obtaining an official license. I am open to phone calls only (a.k.a. encouraging voice messages). i anticipate a nervous-breakdown in the next 96 hours and will spare you the details of my lunacy by not answering the phone.

Post-exam, i am escaping to California to enjoy my summer (or at least the last 8-days of my so-called 'summer') with warm sunshine, the ocean, a book, a beach towel, many mojitos, cute-surfer boys, shopping, pedicures, a taping of Chelsea Lately at the E! studios, and of course, a visit to Cinderella's castle which wouldn't be complete without a ride on pirates of the caribbean (the original, not the movie).

i leave with you with one last legal gem: "a trust will not fail for want of a trustee..." and i will write from the other side when i rejoin society.

until we meet again...
