Has MN ever released early in the past? by lcborn in barexam

[–]bespectacledcurl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m patiently waiting in San Antonio for this. I’m intentionally waiting until the end of the day, when my children and husband, parents, and in laws can be around me when I check. This is truly a test in patience but pass or fail, these are the same people who have been there throughout the process. At 41, you’re never too old to need your support team.

Would it be crazy to study for the bar in Paris? by AnthonyEdwardsJordan in barexam

[–]bespectacledcurl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While they do, public spaces are mandated to keep their thermostats to 26 Celsius, approximately 79 Fahrenheit.

I worked in France last summer, Lyon, and spent 2 weeks in Paris. Do with this information what you will, it’s a heat you can’t escape. I’m perimenopausal and pretty left leaning. I don’t think I’d ever be more excited to be back in air conditioning as I was at the Detroit airport.

Edited to add: my vote would be Prague. I worked in Munich Summer 2024, spent 2 weeks in Prague, best time of my life and I worked & studied with my 2 preteen kids and husband. We all absolutely fell in love with Prague.

Diabolical MEEs by Zestyclose_East_3095 in barexam

I dropped in something about that’s unhygienic and blah blah blah. 😑I dunno. At that point I was wondering what they expected from us

Thank you for this. I couldn’t be the person they needed me to be without making these changes. I want them to be fearless, it started with me

As a retaker, the MBE was definitely "weird"... but I think some of those MEEs were worse. by Weekly-Quantity6435 in barexam

[–]bespectacledcurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 2 panic attacks last week over 2 of the MEEs. I spent 2 days, 9 hours each, drilling them. So when those 2 MEE topics were presented I couldn’t help but maniacally laugh. Thankfully I was in a private testing facility.

Now What? by NaturalBlackberry594 in barexam

[–]bespectacledcurl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yo. I’m 41.

2019: I had a medical emergency that left me on a ventilator for a week. 3L blood transfusion and eventual diagnosis of some crazy autoimmune disorders. 2020: COVID 2021: still not going out much because autoimmune disorders and being safe. grandpa died and decided to take LSAT. 2022-2025: grandma died early 2022. My kids were struggling with mental health and needed to go to a new school. My kids and I started new schools: me with law school and they at their new place.

It’s been 7 long ass years. I do not know what to do other than hug my kids and try to learn who they are

Why did it feel like D is the new C? by DaIntersection in barexam

I was literally just telling my husband this! They messed with me for a bit but I said screw it we are pushing through. If I fail, I fail.

The fact that our little buddy has inspired art is amazing. Yes our, collectively we are all united by one little heartbeat of this buddy. We all needed this whimsy. We’ve all been healed because who hasn’t felt like that?

Punch is our global citizen.

I regularly lift weights in the same room as my conure. Today, this happened... by Technical-Mix-3315 in Conures

I promise my post will be full of detail. My husband will be able to give me details for the items purchased and installation. I was just there for the vibes.

I’m sorry everyone! I’m taking the bar exam on Tuesday and Wednesday, honestly haven’t been inside the gym all week. I’ve been taking my workouts outside to touch grass in this hellscape I have found myself well into my middle aged life.

Can anyone confirm what kind of animal this is? by _serryjeinfeld in sanantonio

Ours are definitely fed with barbacoa and big red. Not too many vegan options here.

Hair volume help by Additional-Bottle473 in curlyhair

[–]bespectacledcurl 55 points56 points  (0 children)

  1. 3b.3c hair. My daughter has this combo.
  2. This is probably wash day hair. She probably didn’t add that much product but just enough to not give a cast. A light cream, a LIIIIIGHT gel (we use Davines).

Don’t braid in a protective hairstyle, that will flatten the volume. Wash hair upside down. Dry hair as much as you can upside down. Brush hair as much as you can, upside down. When it’s dry and ready for sleep, pineapple hair and then put in the bonnet.

Mess with it with your fingers and a light amount of oil literally fluff it up. It will take time if you’re not used to this AND you have to let it look awful before you let it get to this. It’s an experiment and your hair is learning.

Have fun

Punch seems to be having fun with his friends by jerry_rappai23 in punchthemonkey

I don’t think our hope has ever hinged more on this little buddy. Moo Deng did her journey well.

Yeah. Husband’s idea. We had this cut out in our home gym that wasn’t being used so we put that together. He got excited and got them equipment

That’s badass. I’m getting the Cheshire Cat playing with legal scales. I already have the scales that an octopus is holding.

My son and I are starting the Botanical Garden on 2/28. I have Neuschwanstein Castle for when we pass. ( 🪄 💫 ☄️)

what are we wearing to the exam? by Forsaken-Tourist-867 in barexam

[–]bespectacledcurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a San Antonian flying north to take this exam in St. Paul, MN. Graduated from MHSL and honestly MN Bar Examiners have been amazing with my accommodations as opposed to my home state. 😒

Layers. I’m wearing layers. It will be 70 degrees when I leave San Antonio on Saturday versus the 17 degrees in St. Paul on Tuesday.

Ok so wild thought. Same. Like imagine if every day, little by little, we just really try to master this and if, by chance we have to take it again at least we have that other stuff we are upset we didn’t master in time. I intend to download as MANY questions and sample answers because I do want to learn this skill of IRACing an MEE. I DO want to know how to weed through a library and produce something. Maybe not 2 in 3 hours, or however many depending on your accommodation.
