Nike +

Hello my kiddies! These past few days have been pretty decent. Yesterday I decided to finally use my gift card from Kohl's that I got from Robert's parents LAST year for my birthday. I wanted to buy cute summer shoes but I couldn't find any...I had decided since I couldnt find anything that I'd just go home and come back another day (even though it took me nearly a year to even step foot in Kohl's). So Robert started to look through the tennis shoes...knowing I had been interested in buying a pair of Nike + tennis shoes...and found the pair below(not my color but I didn't have to spend ANY money and I got some good tennis shoes!). So I got those on sale and some Pink Converse tennis shoes (yes I like Converse tennis shoes) and this handy dandy Nike + sports band above (yep and in my signature color...PINK!)
The Sportsband tracks your distance, pace, calories burned and the time it took you to run/walk. Like yesterday I jogged and power walked and burned 364 calories and today I burned 302 :). Little by little...I'll hopefully be able to run a whole mile without wanting to die :) So far I'm just content to get out there and do something for once...I know I can keep it up!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY...yeah! Tomorrow Leneese is picking me up from work and we are going to the Poconos (in Pennsylvania). Of course I"m also gonna bring my baby Pebbles and just get away from Jersey for a bit! :) Well I'm off to shower and read some :) I hope you guys are having a wonderful evening! Loves!

Decisions...decisions...

Ok...so I've been a bit behind on updating you guys on my life...i think i've talked to everyone at least once in the past few days so its ok...

So I've been a little stressed out with how I'm goin to pay for all the expenses that are coming my way within the next few months and with all the decisions I need to make. I spoke to my boss today and told him I needed to go part-time for June and July...which means I'll be making half of what i'm making now...so I can dedicate to studying the rest of the day. He was cool with it. He also asked me what I was going to do after the exam...I told him to make me an offer I couldnt refuse and then I'd stay with him. He NEEDS me...i'm a young bilingual female...and i'm obviously a hottie too ;) I told him I wouldn't mind working IN the office (all the other attorney's travel all around New Jersey to go to court) and helping out with clients that come in and clients that call on the phone. He thought it was a great idea...he's been looking for someone dependable to stay in the office to help out. We're still negotiating...i'll update you.

I wanna make the right choice on which Bar Review course to take (yes I'm taking one!) and then decide which is more beneficial...Barbri vs PMBR and Online course vs. In-class lectures.

BARBRI VS PMBR (BAR REVIEW COURSE)

The Barbri focuses on the essay part (obviously covering all other aspects of the exam) and the PMBR focuses on the multiple choice part (obviously also covering all other aspects as well). Some people chooose one of the two courses and some take BOTH. Barbri is the more expensive one but people SWEAR by it...I dont know ANYONE that hasnt' passed the bar after taking the Barbri course. Some people take both, because there is a 3 day seminar at the end of July that you can pay $300 and they teach you tricks to taking the multiple choise part of the exam.

ONLINE COURSE VS. IN-CLASS LECTURES
I just found out that the in-class lectures are just videos that you watch in a class room...which is the point of the Online course (to watch it from the comfort of your home). For the In-class lectures there are only 4 out of about 20 that are real "live lectures" with professors that go to class...but you arent allowed to ask them questions. I've asked EVERYONE that I know that has taken the bar here...they've all said the same thing...they say if you're a disciplined person and will watch the lectures online...you might as well save yourself some money and time and stay at home or go to a library and study at your own pace and watch the same videos that you would in class...thoughts????

I'm hoping this is the LAST time that I take this stupid exam...please be praying for me and understand if i'm moody and don't wanna talk on the phone (not that that's a problem for the brother and the sister as we hardly speak anyways due to their busy schedules) I'm not telling anyone but you guys and Robert that I'm taking it...so i'd appreciate it if you wouldn't announce to ANYONE that i'm taking the test again (this is more for the parents that the siblings) even the grandparents...if they ask just tell them that i'm studying but not that i'm taking the exam just yet. I hate it to be announced and not trying to be pessimistic but if I dont pass i dont want to have to explain myself yet again.

I'll update you guys and tell you guys what I decide to take...so many decisions...
