the end and the beginning . . .

So much for using this thing to track bar prep and my reactions to the entire journey. Bar prep is what it is - a 2 month cram session during which you attempt to learn stuff that will never be of use to you in the real world.

For example, did you know that if you capture wild animals running across your land -- they are yours! This means soon I will have my own raccoon family. Its going to be great! Also, under the doctrine of entrustment -- if you leave a personal possession of yours with a merchant (i.e. someone who deals in goods of that particular type), they are free to sell it for fair market value without asking you -- and are obligated only to give you the money! So, you have a watch given to you by your grandfather. You take it to a horologist to get it fixed and he tells you to come back a week later. On your return, you find that the horologist has sold the watch -- but now has some money for you. What the hell is that crap all about?!?!?!?

Anyways . . . that chapter (fondly entitled, "Education") has now come to a close and a new chapter ("Work") is starting. As you can plainly tell, its Monday and I am not at work. I was told that I needed a few days to relax -- and apparently this means that I am not supposed to go to work on Monday. So, work starts tomorrow. I am looking forward to it, while hoping and praying that I remember exactly where my desk is -- and how to do my job. Its been awhile.
