The Bar

So it has been a while since I’ve blogged. I can’t even remember when the last time was. Well, I had an excuse. I took my bar exam this past Tuesday. Everyone keeps asking me how it went, and the answer is…I have no idea. I had convinced myself that all I need to do was pass the 2 Multistate Performance Tests (since they’re my strength) and 1 essay (out of 4). So I prayed, prayed, prayed that I could pass at least one of the essays. Now that I’ve taken the test…I have no idea. The morning was not that bad, which I think the board does on purpose. They always make the first day not too bad, so as not to scare everyone. But the afternoon pretty much confused the heck out of me, and I have no idea how it went. I wouldn’t be surprised if I failed. I think my only hope is for my Multistate Bar Exam section to be high. I only know that I have at least a 135 on that section, since that’s the minimum score to transfer your score. I have a feeling that I probably did about 135 worth, so passing that one essay is pretty crucial. But I’m going to not think about it. The results come out in April, and that’s a lot sooner than I’m prepared to have them back. CA doesn’t have their results ready until May, so April is way fast.

I thought it was interesting that there was only 42 people in my examination room. When I took the CA one, I think there was about 1,000 people in the convention center. It really was just funny. I think all but a handful of the people in that examination room were from out of state, so many of us were only taking a one day test. This experience was definitely different from taking CA’s. I need prayers, people! That test I was not prepared for. *sigh* And it was best case scenario for me too. Two MPTs! Darn. I hope I passed.

After I took the exam, I just sorta vegged at home. Played some texas hold ‘em with the hubs, and then went to dinner with John, his cousin, Matt and Collette. I love me some sushi! Since it was a Tuesday, I obviously didn’t want to go all crazy since everyone had school or work the next morning. So I called it a night.

Since I didn’t study that hard for this exam, and since it was only one day, it didn’t feel like such a big deal as CA. Don’t get me wrong, this exam will determine whether I can practice in WI or not. I dunno. I guess a part of me was resentful for the fact that I had to take another bar exam. CA was soooooo hard. And I poured so much time and energy in it. I was just so over bar exams. I’m sure my attitude and distain for this bar exam affected my studying. I just hope I passed!

Now that it’s done, I hope to get back to normal life…whatever that is. I HOPE I PASSED!!!
