It's great to receive email messages from readers

It's been quite a while since I have last updated this blog. I've been busy with work and law school (the mock bar exams and final exams). I took up some extra work in the last two months aside from my main job to earn extra money for my bar exam preparation next year. For this posting, I'd like to share excerpts of my email reply to blog reader Edz. I encourage you dear readers to email me your comments or request for help at barops@gmail.com. It inspires me to continue with this blog and focus on my law studies. Here's my email reply to Edz's email:

"Hi Edz,

Thank you for your email. It's really inspiring to receive such email messages from readers of my blog. Sorry for this late reply as I have been busy with work lately and the final exams at law school.

It's great you have both the inspiration and motivation to take the bar next year. I hope to graduate this March 2008 so we might be taking it together. I too am motivated and determined to become a lawyer. But lately, less than a year into the 2008 bar exam, I have devoted much time honestly assessing my strengths and weaknesses. It's especially hard to acknowledge one's weaknesses because it takes an in-depth look at not just your intellectual resources but also your character. I have to know the real reasons why I am surviving law school, on why I ace some exams and flunk or get low scores in others. Once we have done this, then we can truly prepare for the bar exam.

I am writing this in an internet cafe so I don't have my list of recommended books and materials. I'll send you another email soon once I have the list. I will also be updating my blog soon as I now have time to do so with the semestral break..."
