Just for your information, meet Sollasina cthulhu ... named after you-know-who.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Timelies all!
Back still hurts. Ugh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My therapist thinks I should look into going on low dose ritalin but it's hard to think that any problems I have getting shit done aren't just due to my laziness and willingness to be distracted.
That's basically what every adult with ADHD says, I think.
I got a referral from my doctor for a doc who specializes in identifying and diagnosing ADD/ADHD in adults, but I lost it. Classic.

Apparently Kim is doing the California read-the-law thing with mentors instead of going to law school. (Which would be impossible anyway for someone as famous as her.) She meets for a few hours every day with some lawyer mentors and after a year she'll have to take a test to allow her to continue in the program.
At some point, she will have to take the bar, which ... I dunno. I respect her interest, but I have never felt as stupid as I did taking the California bar. And the pass rate for people who don't go to law school is somewhere around 30%.
I dunno if y'all remember when John Kennedy Jr. failed the NY bar, and it was national news. I don't know if Kim is going to want to go through that. But maybe she will, and it'll be fine.

I avoid Kardasian news, but I'm hoping she pulls it off. Kudos to her for making it public partway through the process. I'd hate to be trying to do intense studying with the public so curious.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I didn't know it was still possible to 'read for the law' -- when I researched it (in the pre-Internet era) I was told that you had to have a law degree to take the bar, and the days when you could apprentice as a law clerk were over. (But that may well have been Mass. only).
I'm surprised the pass rate is as high as 30% for the non-law-schoolers, but I suppose with a team of teachers it could be like a high-intensity bar course.
What Connie N. said about kudos for her.

Our wings are not tired.
Law was my original path prior to opening my business. I took all the paralegal courses and got that certificate. I considered it on and off through the years but don't think I have that level of brain anymore. I don't remember anymore what it was, but I do remember being very disappointed with my LSAT score. It was hard!
