I’m a contrarian, apparently about everything. I don’t do this on purpose. I swear. It’s just in my makeup I suppose.
It occurred to me today that if I were a hippy, I’d be known as a free spirit. But when you’re not a hippy, you’re just an asshole.
So today was Day 1 reviewing for the Bar, so I had to finally pull the trigger on a Bar Review over the weekend. Did I choose BarBri like 2/3 of the University? No.
Did I choose Kaplan, like the other 1/3? No.
I chose Themis. Now, mind you I did my research. This wasn’t a rash decision. But this is the first time Themis is doing the Idaho Bar. (probably because Idaho just got on the MBE) But there are no published success rates. In fact, it’s entirely possibly I’m the first and only Idaho Bar applicant to take it. There are lots of reasons I think Themis is the best review course that I’m not going to go over here, but I’d be lying if I wasn’t a little concerned. But, God Hates a Coward (TM) and what not. I did try to turn that into haggling them down on the price. It didn’t work, but was worth the effort.
But the point is that I think I have found some Rearden Metal here. But it’d be nice to just be comfortable and follow the crowd one of these days. I’m also disgustingly full of myself for even making a parallel here. Gross.
