BAR 2007 Pre Week

Isn't it ironic? Political and International Law was supposed to be the subject which we are most prepared of considering that it is the first exam of the eight BAR subjects. But when I received my ratings during the last year's BAR exams, it is the subject where I got the lowest grade. To wit: here are the rankings of my eight BAR subjects from highest to lowest:
.
1 - Labor Law and Social Legislation
2 - Civil Law
3 - Mercantile Law
4 - Criminal Law
5 - Taxation
6 - Remedial Law
7 - Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises
8 - Political & International Law
.
Maybe it was jitters, or anxiety and nervousness set-in because it is the first exam of the series. Or maybe because I had to sleep only for about two hours the night before. Believe me, I tried to sleep but I really can't. I was really surprised at my rating in Labor Law considering that it is not one of my strongest subjects in school. Also in Criminal Law, I felt really down after taking the exam last year and just hoped that I won't get a DQ but hey, my grade in Criminal Law was even higher than my grade in Taxation - the subjects which I thought I aced (but evidently not hehehe). Well, everything is under the bridge now and what matters most now is that I passed the BAR on my first try.
.
For the barristers of 2007 BAR, their pre-week starts now. The first decision they will have to decide on is whether to attend a pre-week review class or not. The decision entirely depends on where a barriester is most effective. In my case, I decided to attend the pre-week class because my class is in the afternoon. I used my mornings and nights to read my pre-week notes, important codal provisions, hand-outs/summaries and short pre-week reviewers. During my slack time, I listen to recorded lectures I took during the review.
.
SOME PRE WEEK ADVICES
.
1. Pray as you wake up;
2. Find the most comfortable place to stay for the pre-week. Be it in the library or in the comfort of your own room;
3. Do not rely on tips or hopes of leakage;
4. Do not cram, Relax!!!;
5. Try to establish an earlier sleeping habit so that you can get up earlier;
6. Do not review anything for the first time this week;
7. Pray before going to bed.
So to my friends taking the 2007 BAR and other Barristers. GOODLUCK!!! You will see me and your friends cheering in the BAR-OPS.

  2. Gid ap! he cried, and the horses sprang forward with http://startso11.info/bieg+piast%C3%B3w+jakuszyce.html a lurch.. I need to be flung more 'mong people http://wowyesaf.info/suzuki+baleno.html to fetch out what's in me.. Jacobus's veranda lay a http://startso11.info/prasy.html spattered circle of shining grains of rice.. Running away has always been inherent in the http://storyah44.info/portal+notariuszy.html negro.. Pardon me while http://startso11.info/teletubis.html we take the next trick, remarked Evelyn with a laugh quite as light and gleeful as his own, and disappeared into the hall.. Rather cozy for a woodshed, he http://startso11.info/www.danutatobiczyk.pl..html observed.. The group of dreams to which the two last mentioned belong, having http://startso11.info/Krokomierz.html as content the death of beloved relatives, will be considered again under the head of Typical Dreams.. Feeling and becoming aware of himself in the region of his knees refers to masturbation, and corresponds to his fatigue of the previous day. http://storyah44.info/praca+w+estoni.html. We leave all sinful http://startso11.info/www.google.plpl.html things to the vain and foolish.. Above all I should not know how to dispose of the apparent fact that there are many dreams satisfying other than--in the widest sense--erotic needs, as dreams of hunger, thirst, convenience, &c. http://startso11.info/Maintenance.html. Watkinson, mentioning in her note the hour of nine, it is to be presumed she intends asking some http://startso11.info/www.mikolajki.html other company.. Had Ross taken time to think, he might have reflected that gentlemen making formal calls seldom join in a chase after the main http://startso11.info/Euro+Power+Centrum+Sp.+z+o.o..html dish of the family supper.. Only it is necessary to http://startso11.info/lista+hop-beda.html keep in mind the curious plasticity of psychic material.. On his strictly legal performances in this issue I http://startso11.info/pole+powierzchni+trojkata.html prefer not to speak; there were those who denied them, although the jury had accepted them in the face of the ruling of the half-amused, half-cynical Judge himself.. As he went along, his http://startso11.info/%C5%BCyczenia+urodziniwe.html plan perfected itself.. Polly is more rash than I am, as the reader has observed in the outset of http://startso11.info/www.zagiel.cpm.pl%2Felraty.html this memoir.. The girl shook her head. http://startso11.info/ILO.html. He never smiled, he never frowned, he never changed his voice from the gentle-flowing key to which he tuned his initial sentence, he never betrayed the slightest http://startso11.info/karino4%40onet.eu..html suspicion of enthusiasm; but all through the interminable narrative there ran a vein of impressive earnestness and sincerity, which showed me plainly that, so far from his imagining that there was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, he regarded it as a really important matter, and admired its two heroes as men of transcendent genius in finesse.. Henry was, he was an artist, a master of plot and diction, a genuine http://startso11.info/onet+poczta.html humorist, and a philosopher.. Hotchkiss's astonishment, the stick separated in two pieces, leaving the handle and about two feet of narrow glittering steel in the http://storyah44.info/restrykcja.html Colonel's hand...
