COUNTDOWN TO A BRAND NEW LIFE

I am getting married in 9 days and moving halfway across the country in 13 days. DAMN - real life has not only begun, it is on fast forward!!

MORE BAR-BRI NEWS

I got another check last week for sixty some-odd dollars. Shocked again! For the nosy folks out there, my last award check was summarily eaten by mandatory car repairs about four days after I received it. *le sigh*

Did anyone else reading get paid??

See previous Bar-Bri posts.

In other news, waiting to hear back after my first in-person interview in my new state. Stalled waiting for the next big step - AGAIN.

RANDOM UPDATE

Just in case anyone is still reading, I thought I should tell you that I am engaged and leaving New Jersey for the wild southwest. This means another bar exam, so you may be seeing me on a regular basis again.

You may now resume your day. ;)

BAR BRI CLASS ACTION UPDATE

WOW, Have not heard anything on this front since 2006! Well, color me shocked; I got a check in the mail today from BarBri for a little over $300! Never expected that to happen!

The accompanying letter says that it is a partial award and that the balance of the settlement fund will be distributed "After all outstanding appeals have been resolved". I think that pretty much the entire leftover funds will be eaten by attorneys fees (oh the irony), but still a check is a check. Being in the non-profit sector, I never turn away cash! Anyone other readers out there get paid?

I haven't posted in almost a year. Recently, I have found that there is a lot I'd like to say. Maybe I should start blogging again ....

REAL LIFE BEGINNING IN 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...

Yes, it has been far too long since I posted. A lot has happened, and I will try to be better, although with all these changes , I make no promises.

Well, it seems to have taken FOREVER, but my "real life" is beginning. I have a new job that I started in October. I love it more than I can say. I am working as an attorney for a non-profit in Central Jersey, the staff is great, my director is amazing and the work is fulfilling. And next month I am FINALLY moving into my own apartment. For the first time in my life I won't have family or roommates sharing my space. I'm a little nervous and a lot excited!! This post was a long, long three years ago, but things finally seem to be moving into place.

The student loan people continue to try to suck me dry, and there have been some emotional upheavals along the way, but the tally sheet is in the black at the moment. There will be much for me to celebrate this new year's!!!

Now THESE are some holiday cards!
