Bar Exam Begins Tomorrow

I have studied far too much. At the same time, it feels as if it is not enough. Luckily, I am at that nearly relaxing point where it is useless trying to study more because the exam is tomorrow. That and my brain is about to explode with all of the rules stuffed into it right now.

Yesterday, I left the apartment to go to the grocery store and I realized that it was only the third time I had left the apartment in a week. I had left on Friday to go to Walgreens and on Tuesday to run to school to pick up my diploma. That is it. I can't wait for the test to be over so that I can get back to living my life! Maybe I can resume going on walks without the guilty feeling that I should be reading about torts.

Pictured here are the books that I used to study this summer. They are all from BarBri and do not include the big stack of condensed notes that I printed from their lectures to study from. I am very excited to get rid of these books because I am tired of looking at them. A lot of the books consist of practice questions. I am nervous because I didn't do as many of the questions as they wanted me to. However, I have NEVER done all of the practice tests that people tell me to. I hate practice tests. They take up time and make me more nervous. I could just be feeling negative today because the exam is tomorrow. You'll forgive me a little negativity right?

I will post again when it is all over!

Good luck! I am thinking of you...I had a little reminder of this on my calendar today so I'd remember to start sending good vibes your way! Knowing your skill as a test taker, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I'm just looking forward to the day when I can address you as Alicia Glaser, Esq....just like Bill & Ted. :)

Spareribs, Sauerkraut and Dumplings

For Valentine's Day this year I cooked a dish that reminds me of home like no other. It's a family recipe that my Mom knows by heart and my Dad gets on special holidays. Spareribs, sauerkraut and dumplings: Here's my plate before I started inhaling it. Not everyone likes it. I didn't like it until I was an adult and came across a very similar dish in the Czech Republic. I craved home-cooked food at the time and I instantly became obsessed with the dish. The tricky part about the recipe is that it wasn't really written down. My Grandmother, Anita, wrote a copy for my Mom a long time ago but my Mom has since changed parts to simplify the recipe. This is the recipe that my Mom told me and I adjusted on my own. For the Dumplings: These are the dumpling when they were boiling, as they start to get done, they float to the top of the water. 3 c bread crumbs (about a half of a loaf dried on a tray for a day and broken up in a food processor) 3-4 c grated r

May 2017 Update

Despite the appearance of my blog over the past year, I am still alive and kicking. I've had a great past year. It was filled with adventures and good times. What have I been up to? 1. I'm walking a ton. At a minimum, I try to walk 10,000 steps a day. When you work a desk job, that is a lot of steps. If I work from home, don't go anywhere, and don't make an effort, I can walk around 2,000 steps in a day. To hit 10,000, I have to make a serious effort. This leads to long rambles to Minnehaha Falls, the Mississippi River, Fort Snelling and circles around the Mall of America. I try to snap cool videos and photos while I walk. I took a short video of Minnehaha Falls this spring: I also snap pictures of the wildlife I manage to stumble across, like this adorable duck family: 2. I've traveled a bit. I went with friends to Massachusetts and Maine a month or so ago. Best selfie from the trip: Brian and I also took a trip to Hawaii in November. I

Halloween Project 2009: Zombie Box

I love zombie movies. My first date with Brian, I made the poor guy watch Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead . A while back I saw a photo of a glass case that held a fake shotgun that said "in case of zombies break glass" (click here for my original inspiration). Of course, I wanted one. However, they were a promotional item for a videogame. Plus, the shotguns were fake, not at all useful if zombies actually were going to attack. I tried to see if I could buy one of those fire cases that hold fire extinguishers and fire blankets and just adapt it. Those boxes, it turns out, cost at least a hundred dollars. I decided to take matters into my own hands and build myself an emergency box to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. I bought a frame for a few bucks from a discount store and hand painted the glass: The objects surrounding the glass were part of my "cat deterrence system." Oddly it worked. Livia prefers to sit on my paper projects anyways. I built a
