1. I'm taking the Cal Bar Exam this next Tuesday.
Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 07:36 PM by Maat
I decided a few days ago to just stop being grumpy with my hubby and kid.

My 8-year-old told me she wanted the old mom back (me before studying).

Unfortunately, this is my third time (I'm an old lady - 47).

But I'm going to keep trying until I pass!

On edit:
I'm studying wills and trusts too right now.

I'm not feeling as confident as you are!

3. Oh, you poor thing!
They say California's is the worst (I'm in Texas). I'm not confident at all; I just don't see myself learning anything new (although I still have a fair amount of Commercial Paper and Secured Transactions to stuff into my head, not to mention Oil & Gas). I'm old too - I'll be 43 next month. I don't really expect to pass this time, but we'll see what happens.

Best of luck, fellow sufferer! :hi:

7. Good luck!
I can relate!

I retired from social work five years ago - to spend time with my child and to go back to law school.

What a long strange trip it has been!

But a few months ago, I was offered a law clerk job with my old friends; I hope to be an attorney for them one day.

Oh, well, we have it all in our memories! We're going to ace it!

2. My Sympathies
A close family relation is currently about where you're at---she's cursing real property law, and like you, she's ready to be done with it.

Best of luck, hang in there......

4. I HATE Property
Some of the stuff just won't stick in my head. Hated it in law school, and hate it even more now! But this too shall pass. Best of luck to your relative!

5. Heh heh
When I finished taking the bar exam, I walked out of the room and almost broke down and cried.

Thank God, I passed.

6. I get headaches anyway
I'm sure a week from today (EGAD!) I'll be stumbling around mumbling to myself, if not a sodden mass lying on the floor!

8. Everyone cheers when they finally dismiss us!
You feel like the weight of the world is off of your shoulders!

Human again!

Until next time.

11. Thank you!
I know you're going through a really rough time right now - I'll do the same for you. I really can't complain (though I do!)
