I am done with my second week of post-NUSL bar review. Things are definitely starting to "heat up" as the bar exam date gets closer and closer. In just a few hours, though, some of my best friends from law school are arriving from Boston. We're taking a short break from our bar review worries to have a men's retreat. I'm very much looking forward to this respite. We're going to fire up the grill, drink a cold beer and commiserate about the bar review process. We're also going to go see a Jon Stewart show tonight, which I think will be a lot of fun. I'm very excited to take a break from the past two weeks; they've been unrelenting.

With all my bar review work, I have been forced to cut myself off from many of the highlights of my erstwhile life (e.g., reading the New York Times, following legal blogs, going to events). There has been one legal bit of news, though, that nobody, not even a bar applicant, and certainly no soon-to-be law student, should miss. You can read more here, if you have not already. Be well until next time!

It’s been a while since I last blogged. In the interim, quite a bit has happened! I have graduated from NUSL, moved to Connecticut, and started studying for the bar exam. Along the way, I’ve become a gardener (tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, mint), gotten myself a recumbent bicycle, started grilling in my backyard and settled into a home office. There are big differences between my current home and the small Boston apartment that I lived in during my three years at NUSL. Of course, there is a lot that I already miss about that little home. Most of all, I miss my law school friends, many of whom are remaining in the greater Boston area. Although my emphasis this summer is on studying for the bar exam, I will be checking in with a weekly blog piece as to how things are going post-graduation. Along the way, I hope to provide some insight into what it’s like to be an alumnus of NUSL. Until next time, take care!
