Squirming in front of the silver screen...
Watched the movie Little Children this week on Netflix. Obviously, movie reviews are largely outside the purview of this blog, but the movie included a story line, involving a character who was studying to take the bar for the third time, that hit a little too close to home. I have to say that the movie more then adequately captured the embarrassment, feelings of dislocation, and general disconnect that comes with failing the bar. It was also somewhat cringe inducing to re-live the experience through the character. The movie was otherwise okay, but it was interesting to see the topic of failing the bar sort of addressed outside the narrow confines of the legal community.

I know exactly what you mean!! I read the book, and GOD, it was enough to make me put it down. And I always finish every book I start. PAINFUL. But very, very easy for me to see how things can go sideways with a quickness you never knew possible, when life doesn't turn out as you planned. The best laid plans...blah, blah, blah....
Ugh i watched that film last week when I should have really been studying - seemed like some kinda crazy sign! lol
