Post anxiety stress, what the...
I went into the bar this time very cool and composed. I mean I've seen this all before. Twice. The first two days were not so bad, and the MPT actually dealt with copyright law, so barring the fact that I ran out of time because I *had* to take a break and didn't ask for this accomodation beforehand (grr, argh), twas alright. I just had the shortest conclusion ever.
Let's not talk about Day 3.
The thing is, I'm haunted by this experience. It was the third time. I'm seeing it as strike 3 instead of 3rd times the charm. I've had horrible anxiety all week, and I'm wondering if maybe instead of looking for volunteer clerkships that maybe I should look for something else.
Granted, I felt fine after the test, but I want to forget now. I don't even know when in November we get our results. It's the fact that we get them that annoys me. Avoidance is key, yes?
I WANT TO PASS THE FRIKKIN BAR!!! And please, no JFK, Jr. stories or I will have to hunt you down, hang you upside down by your toes, and play Britney Spears till your ears bleed.

hey, a friend of mine just took the Bar Exam, and was denied extra time he requested for his learning disability. He told me some official at the Bar told him that if he needed extra time on the exam then he was not able to practice law. Well maybe he should tell him his goal is not to practice law but to one day be Exective Sec.of the Bar. After all, the Exec Sec's job requires a license but in fact forbids the practice of law; or is he able to practice to law? Good luck my friend

that's terrible. was he not allowed to request extra time when he applied for the Bar? or appeal? that offical shouldn't even be saying things like that. how irksome. either way, i hope he did well, and thank you.

Everyone of my friends thought they had failed the bar -- and they all passed.
The conclusion: whether you passed or not is not determined by how you think you did. (And, I really hope that you passed!:-) )

Margaret, I honestly hope so too. ;-) I never want to see that exam again.
