Gotta admit.. It feels damn strange to not be taking the exam this year while all my friends are. I mean.. whoa. This time last year, my butt was planted in my chair and I was typing away at my first set of 4 essays. 16 essays... phew..I dont envy you guys. I talked with some of you last night and you are all going to kick so much ass!! I think Grace (from my blog links) puts it in the best perspective. This isn't the worst thing you'll ever go through.. and to be honest, I equate it to a really eff-ing hard drivers license. I mean.. everyone wants one and failing the test is a big deal...like the worst thing EVER for a new 16 year old. But, in the end, no one remembers whether it took one, two, three or more attempts...and it's not the end of the world. I agree with Grace that I'd rather go through the bar exam again than lots of other things in my life. Afterall, you have SOME control over the bar exam. That said, it blows ass and I dont want to do it again. But, I am very glad I did it.. even though I'm not practicing law. I think the process teaches you a lot about yourself. I think it was the only time in my life I actually got up on the first alarm every single morning while studying for no other reason than a personal goal of passing that test.
Well, enough about the bar exam for today. My ear is feeling slightly better. Still in a bit of a tunnel, though. Boo.
I am raising an attention whore for a dog. Yes. I'm watching Jack, Shelbs' dog, during the exam, and as soon as I brought him over, Gracie lost her marbles. Mind you, she knows Jack and she likes him.. but she got all jealous and started acting out until I picked her up and gave her a special treat while praising her. Then she felt all special and was nice again. Seriously, she NEVER pees in the house...and when Jack came in, she looked right at me and peed on the floor like "Ha! Bitch! Look at me!" Sheez. At least she's better now. She was pretty precious though this morning. She sat on the bathroom floor while I got ready as if to not let me out of her sight in case I take Jack and run away or something. My dog is cute...attention whore...but cute..
