Last Dance With Bar/Bri Books

Ok, not really the books. Well, maybe I'll outline an essay. But only ONE MORE DAY of this test!

I honestly can't believe this is almost over. It's so true what they say; the two months leading up the bar are much worse than the actual days of the test itself. Time goes by too quickly to stress out about the test on exam days.

Much to my surprise, I have actually kind of enjoyed the past two days. I am seeing so many friends all in one place here, many of whom I haven't seen since I worked with them last summer. I thought that I would want to avoid people I knew and talking about the test* at all costs to mitigate any stress or anxiety. But having friends around makes the Bar seem much less scary and intimidating. It's just like taking a final exam in law school. My law school provides lunch on the lawn by the pool every day at the break, so I sit there with friends chatting about non-bar stuff in the sunshine for 35 minutes and feel refreshed for the afternoon session.

When I am not taking the test, I give myself free reign to sit back and really relax, with no guilt over not studying. Of course, being in a hotel room with no baby and no cleaning to do helps a lot.

I really miss Timmy and can't believe it's been two whole days since I've seen him.

Unfortunately, it's hard to really eliminate subjects I need to study tonight. On day 1, we had a weird cross-over that touched on such ticky-tack things that I can't rule out another essay on either subject, then we had a Professional Responsibility question and a California evidence question. Soo, I'll be skimming all my outlines tonight.

Hopefully I'm in bed by 10 tonight to take advantage of my last night to sleep 8 hours for the foreseeable future.


*In law school, I was adamantly opposed to discussing the test afterward. I never did it. But for some reason, I have a raging desire to discuss every question. Especially these MBEs. I have no idea how I did on them. Part of me thought it seemed fair and very similar to Bar Bri questions, but I didn't feel very confident that I picked the right answer very often. I think I made good guesses, so we'll see what happens when the results come out.
