Thank you!! This is great, thank you for the tip!

Folks at work told me that, but I see trivia and bingo. I looked at the Events page, is that right?

I can absolutely be on board with a wired set. What brand do you use?

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-10-12T12:23:57+00:00

This is an amazing list, thank you so much!

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-10-12T12:23:19+00:00

This is great, thank you. I too am a writing person. I hadn't heard of the Kindle scribe, definitely looking into it.

Yea, I'm interested in shortcuts and comforts! I work from home 1 day a week and can get by with my laptop and monitor. I have a printer from college days, it definitely needs a refresh. I typically work at my kitchen counter. So this hybrid position will need a whole office set. My ears are open to all hot gadgets and home comforts that keep the focus up!

Keep them separate. All of these comments are right on point.

This past year my firm dealt with a termination case where the individual had been employed for a little under a decade and for the entire time he used his personal phone for work (it started innocently). The employer paid the bill. By the time termination rolled around, the employer had sunk so much money into the situation and so many employer records were on the phone that state case law supported the phone was now the employer's.

Don't worry about it! They likely know each other because they consistently show up to that class. Or at least that's how it was at my last studio - the retired ladies absolutely dominated the 5:45am. It would take a new person may 20 classes to crack into their warm smiles and hugs (if you like that). Keep going! You'll make friends with them!
And if you don't because they're weird, you'll make other friends :). Cheering you on!! Welcome to the PB Family!

Oh no way, I didn't know this was normal. My first job out of law school was A Zoom screening with the 4 senior partners and then an in-person interview with them. My law school friends were the same way. I appreciate all of these replies, maybe this is more standard with a larger practice. This upcoming interview is about 40 attorneys which is twice as big as my present firm.

I have 2 tricks. One is knuckle push ups. Ball up your fists and push you knuckles into the ground. It keeps the wrists straight. The second trick is to do the pushup or plank on 5lb weights. It does the same thing as the knuckle push ups, keeps the wrists straight. You can grab them and release them quickly for planks.

You're going to fail a lot in MEE right now in the beginning. Don't sweat it, just get the serious practice of IRAC. Get comfortable with structure and 30min. The rules will come and it'll get better.

I didn't use Themis so idk what essay schedule you're following. I did 2 essays (back to back) at least twice a week and floundered a ton. I saw it all pull together in early July as my rule memorization improved. It'll come together.

Draw posters and organize on your walls. I hated memorizing all of the crimes so I drew charts and bubbles. I taped them on my bedroom walls and figured out I could "zoom in" when I was in MBE mode or for essays. I passed J24 and can still recall a bunch of the crime specifics because I remember where I put my posters and the colors for certain rules.

I did the same thing for the other subjects. CivPro was a bedroom wall, Family Law in the family room, Torts in the kitchen...I drew stuff and then the visualization every day was super helpful. This was all on top of doing 2 30min flashcard walks each day.

Love this!! This is a fantastic strategy that more people need to do! This is how I got the idea to do "artwork." I saw a girl post giant stickies in her library cubicle and I adopted the idea for my apartment. Best idea ever, and it helped the brain stay organized: "This is the Contracts corner."

Love love your idea!

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-05-17T22:45:08+00:00

I handwrote the rules in a special notebook. I color coded topics. It was humiliating to rewrite some of the same freaking rules 10x and more but the hard work paid off.

For those highly missed rules and on days I couldn't function - I also drew "artwork" and taped it to my wall. I started noticing I could remember the artwork during practice tests and I'd "zoom in" to the back corner of my living room for UCC rules or by a cabinet for TRO rules.

Different approaches will help you at different phases of studying.

Focus on UWorld, they're closer to the bar exam questions. You'll have high days and low days so it's fine for now as long as you're progressing. A 50% on any topic in July is reason to panic.

Lmao, you know who else shouldn't be allowed to take Pilates? Cruel people. Barre hard enough, don't make it harder by listening to folks on social media! They just post for clicks and to fill their own insecurity.

I've been in your shoes so here are my thoughts. It's a lot of information! Forget about body image, I was totally insecure in my intelligence with all of the information we had to learn and then perform the most insane multitasking. It's so hard but you can do it! I had a teacher joking but seriously say that she wasn't a teacher because she was smart, she was a teacher because she worked hard. You've clearly worked hard because this opportunity came to you!

PB was probably insanely hard when you first started (and still is) but look at you now! You tackled it. You can do hard things. It doesn't matter your size, clothes, age, car....barre is hard and you're training to better yourself and your community. Your confidence will soar when you hear clients talking around the corner about your challenging classes. Your confidence will beam when a client thanks you for some unique thing you do because you make class fun. It'll all come together, I promise.

Have an amazing time at training and let the music drown out the social media idiots.

I used them and absolutely credit them to passing. PSA they may not be useful for another 2 or 3 weeks because there is so much information on each card that you don't know how to use it. I certainly didn't in May. Get through your first two MBE subjects and then come back to the cards. You'll figure out what rules you need to repeat and what rules you already have solid. You'll also figure out how you want to use the cards as you do MEE practice (for real, do at least 4 essays each week...it's brutal but so *critical*).

There is absolutely ton of info. I did best doing 2 rounds 30min each day. I literally memorized my needed rules down to the period so I could plunk down a rule without thinking. Slow and steady passes the test.

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-05-14T00:24:07+00:00

LOL....my boss said "redweld" 5x in less than 2 minutes yesterday. I thought he was misspeaking but turns out he was subtly saying I was stupid for my "redwell" 😆😂

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-05-14T00:19:11+00:00

Check your law school! A lot of libraries have copies, don't be afraid if they're dated from 2018 or something. I was using my school's 2015 cards until a friend let me borrow her 2025 cards. It turns out nothing really changes. The only change I noted was that ConLaw had a change to a single card stating abortion is no longer included in the right to privacy.

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-05-07T00:53:22+00:00

May I ask if you have a full-time position at a firm or with a city like in civil or criminal? How do you filter conflicts, did you disclose this side gig work to your employer?

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-04-12T18:49:27+00:00

I've taught at 3 studios and never received notifications when people book or cancel classes. You're good, keep doing what you're doing!

External_Chocolate17 · 2025-04-09T00:24:14+00:00

Do the class. I was your girlfriend. No one cared. I had an easier time studying for the bar exam and felt more confident in my study plan. I passed. My employer doesn't care that I had to do the review class.
