hunh - just spoke with an old boss and she is trying to recruit me for a position they have open. Not sure I'd want to go back to that place, but looking back it was MUCH better than the last two supervisors. She's not sure she can afford me, but we'll talk.

It's nice to be a desired commodity.

Now to the tasks at hand. sending off letters.

The bar itself is looming over me like a giant sword.

If you haven't signed up for a bar review course, I recommend one. At the very least, it structures your study for the bar. (And yes, I'm a member of NC Bar.)

And I don't know exactly how immigration works, but my experience with other areas of the federal government doesn't contradict your belief.

Back where I was a bagel shop cashier, we had the BEST veggie cream cheese. I loved that stuff. Fun to make too-they let me use the chopper and would laugh at me as I did voices for the poor doomed vegetables. I liked it best on a toasted spinach bagel(I know, bagel purists cringe, but this was not the northeast) .

Graduation doesn't even seem fun. I will be so relieved when it's over.

A friend of mine was adamant that we not celebrate anything until she got done with the bar because she was too cranky to appreciate anything.

hmm - I do not like cream cheese on toasted bagels. Butter on a toasted raison-cinnamon is my second favorite bagel.

Congrats on passing the Ethics Exam, Stephanie! Wow, you've got a lot going on right now.

I like the cream cheese to melt a bit. A warm bagel will also do. I don't like bagels cold.

Butter on a toasted raison-cinnamon is my second favorite bagel.

My favorite is the same minus the raisons. And I have to use real butter, not the "I can't believe it's not butter" or other health friendly choices.

I like using slightly toasted bagels for sandwiches instead of bread.

Thank you, Kate P.

And congrats, Stephani!

I used to like making bagel pizzas. Put a little pizza sauce on a sliced bagel, cover it with a lot of mozzerella, stick it under the broiler until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Yum!

Oh, that's cool; I didn't know that. But you don't live here, right?

I've signed up for BARBRI's "self-study" program. It's not really how I wanted to do it, but since I'll be having a baby during the normal 6 week course, it was the best option. The benefit this way is that I'm supposed to get my materials by May 1st. Also, I don't think I'm supposed to, but I'm thinking about trying to attend some of the lectures for the regular course.
