Luckily Mallory is such a phenomenal student that she asked for a desk for one of her Christmas presents this past year because I'm keeping it very much alive during these summer months. We, ie, all the other losers that are still actively taking the BarBri study class, had a 'psuedo' exam the last 2 days that mimics the real event taking place in around 2 weeks in the enchanting city of Tucson. I did well enough at this point as things are starting to come together, but I've got a funny or perhaps scary revelation depending on your perspective.
Most everyone in this class just graduated from 3 years of law school, most everyone attended all of the extremely comprehensive review sessions for the past month, most everyone is probably pretty diligent in their studying, and most everyone is likely pretty bright with the exception of your current author. Nonetheless, the average score for our 6 hour multiple choice test that we all labored through today (after our fun day of 12 essays in 6 hours yesterday) is a measley 105 out of 200 questions. I managed a 115 so I'm a little ahead of the game but it's still pretty hard to believe. With the insane amount of time and effort everyone is putting into this, getting 85 wrong and beating the average by 10 is crazy.
Changing topics, not that it effects me currently, but BRLC, Vic's former employer also known as Syntax Brillian Corp, officially went under the other day. RIP BRLC. So much for exercising those stock options...but in another sick ironic twist, so did our 65" BRLC television!! Everything shows up as pink so Mal's happy, but it's not ideal--especially for watching the Cubs. BRLC's demise, although not unexpected, definitely had no relation to the tremendous amount of blood, sweat, and tears that my beautiful wife put into that plagued company. It was good while it lasted but now we're probably going to have to pick up a new television and it's probably not going to be anything remaining under the BRLC umbrella, ie, Olevia. I think we'll end up supporting a nice California company that seems to be able to successfully do everything that BRLC could not, Vizio, with our next purchase.
Lastly, Nick is having a great summer. He's really enjoying his kids camp that he goes to 3 days a week and gets to play ball, swim, and run around with other dudes his age. Played catch with him yesterday night and the boy is going to be a player. He may already have a better arm than me. He's going to be one hell of an athlete if he keeps working at the sports that interest him. And I don't even need to mention his golf swing...
