toby and barbri

i was elated to be done with law school when i took my last final exam on the 9th. but the excitement and joy was short-lived. a week and a half later, i was back at st. john's sitting in one of the large lecture halls, typing furiously while trying to absorb the professor's wisdom: bar review had begun.

i can't believe i'm supposed to be preparing for the bar exam already. not that i think i'm studying too soon (the exam is in july), but that i've come to this moment in time when i'm supposed to be sitting for the NY and NJ Bar. how can it be the eve of summer 2008 already!? every finals season for the past three years i've thought to myself, "this is it: the final countdown (gob!)." but i spoke too soon. this is truly the final count down: no room for mistakes or failure.

on a lighter note rosa and i (thanks to her allergic sister) got a dog last week, Toby. he's a scrappy yorkie with no discipline or manners whatsoever. but he's also extremely friendly, mischevious, and endearing. if only he were potty trained.

this morning, rosa found him in his gated area with shit smeared across all four corners. when she put him on my white couch to clean up the mess, he managed to smear his dirty butt across that too. he's lucky he's so cute.
