Babe, you've been studying all day. How is your little break going?
Umm.... I don't know really. I don't think I understand regular English right now.
What does that mean?
My brain is fried. I think reading a copyright agreement would make more sense right now
than an every day conversation.
That intense huh?
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be able to pass this bar exam.
Don't people fail that all the time?
Yeah, but it doesn't look good to employers. I used to think it was a joke.
A joke?
Yeah, back in the beginning of law school there is joke that the seniors play on the
guys that are new. They told us that the bar exam was really everyone going to the bar
as seeing if you could out drink all of your fellow classmates at the end of your senior
year.
I get it bar exam.... that's clever. And you believed that?
Of course, they told us that every professor is in on it and they make it seem like it
is really hard. I believed that until I was a junior.
How'd you find out the truth?
Heard seniors talking about how scared they were and went online finally and looked at
a practice exam. Since then, I have dreaded it.
Well, what's so hard about it?
Well, they give you all these scenarios that could happen with legal jargon. It seriously
sounds like an episode of Judge Joe Brown in my head the entire time, without the funny
puns. Then, you have to figure out what's missing, what you can do to help them, or
nail them.
Well, you'll do fine. You're going to be a lawyer, a great one. You know this stuff,
you've done it for four years.
I know, I just feel like I'm drowning in legal books.
Well, better than me having to drag you home from the hospital from alcohol poisoning!
I don't know, at this point, it sounds about the same.
