BARBRI. . .know your enemies.

If the people who are teaching BARBRI thus far are representative of the type of person I may become as a lawyer, I am seriously afraid of passing the bar. This lady I'm listening to sounds like she's on crack and she uses all these buzz words like "know your enemies" and "hit the target." I think she also said not to "Charlie out" (I think?) which she says is picking Bs and Cs on the multiple choice for long stretches. Also, you can tell that she is not thinking when she is talking and is just streaming all the words out of her mouth as she thinks of them.

I am definitely not pumped.

Nope.

Edit: She just said, "Come on guys, this isn't a social workers' exam. You guys are trying to be lawyers. You're not hippies."

Obviously, she doesn't realize that she is teaching at the equivalent of a hippie law school. Everyone laughed. I felt awkward, lol.

Edit 2: As a point of comparison, here are a few choice gems (almost verbatim) from my Business Associations 1 professor, who also was similarly oblivious to her audience:

"Where are my bleeding heart liberals at?" (she's a firm believer of the Chicago school of law)
"Who has family members with drug or substance problems?" (trying to relate a case to our lives, apparently).

Edit 3: "Keep your stamina, keep your focus."
