You know, I'm really have sixth and seventh thoughts about the bar. I'm roller-coastering about whether I want to take it again. Today I was talking with B. about getting everything ready and about studying when it occurred to me that it's really, really boring to talk about getting all the paperwork ready and studying for the bar. I mean, it gets old, and I'm beginning to see just how self-centered I get when I study for the bar. I turn into this selfish icky person who cannot seem to comprehend that other people have lives and issues.
I don't like that girl.
On the other hand, I was looking through a list of local law firms, and I saw some attorneys who made the law their second career, which made me feel a whole lot better. It made me realize that I'm not the oldest person to be a beginner in the law. That's very comforting. I didn't know just how much it bothered me to be older in school until I felt that relief.
I also can see how once the bar is over and I've got a legal job, just how balanced life can be. The few lawyers that I know are happy people with outside lives and families and friends. Thank goodness. If I can focus on that, then hopefully I can avoid becoming the she-demon again.

Just remember:
1. Your real friends will love you no matter how bitchy or insane you get during the bar.
2. Your real friends love you for loving them even though they become crazy banshees while they take the bar.
3. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, especially the bar. And turning in your application on time is a step towards future happiness.
4. As long as you're on the proper side of the "v" you will live a happy and fulfilling life without billable hours.
And lastly, fake it 'til you make it, babe!
Well, it's been a whole week and you haven't posted anything new. Didn't you say you were going to post more?? Just some friendly ribbing.
Love ya!
