Now I Work Down at the Car Wash, Where All It Ever Does Is Rain

Studying for the bar in the summer officially sucks. It is 500 degrees out and I am stuck inside with only a fan poring over some lame exercise on a Saturday evening. It's not really that complicated, but the marking scheme is nit-picky and a wee bit arbitrary so it's causing me undue stress.

I don't think I've ever had a summer where I've had to study. I spent most of my childhood and teenage ones outside at summer camps, canoeing and camping. Then I worked some "real" jobs, many of which involved sitting in a windowless office. But at least at 5 p.m. I was ready to go and be on terrace somewhere. Even last year when I summered, I was usually home by 7. So I have never had to spend a July Saturday at 11 p.m. sitting in front of my laptop. That doesn't mean I haven't ever done it - but I've never been required to do it. Hopefully, I will not have to do it again (though I realise that may be a tad unrealistic given my career choice). There was a radio show broadcast from my summer camp this afternoon and it filled me with nostalgia.

Thank goodness I will be done in August and will not be required to bring home the stress of work with me.

Anyway, in far more exciting news, Lag Liv is having her baby, four weeks early!!!
