I'm alive.

Perhaps you thought Day 3 ate me alive? Nah, I'm still alive, but only after a struggle. I was more nervous about Day 3 than I was for Day 1, and I think much of that had to do with the fact that I was forgetting the law for non-MBE subjects. As I sat there, listening to the neverending instructions, I told myself that it was not going to be bad, that I already knew the answers. But when I opened the booklet, I had a serious feeling of doom consume me. I'll be honest, I didn't study Trusts very much. My eyes kept scanning the question for clues. I made up some bullshit about various trusts, and kept scraping my brain for anything that could be useful.

Community property was my downfall essay last July. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw it again. It's not a very hard subject, I just hate getting something unexpected. I think I managed through it, but not as well as I would have liked. By the time I saw the corporations essay, I was feeling pretty defeated. I kept reading the corp essay over and over. I just couldn't understand what they wanted from me, besides a few of the obvious.

I went to my room for lunch, cried a little, and then told myself I was going to kick some serious PE butt. When I sat down for the afternoon, I was determined not to let the PE get the best of my like Tuesday. Miraculously, it all fit together. I knew exactly what they wanted, exactly what the tricks were, and how to format the elements. It all fell in place perfectly, and I think I rocked that last PE. Hopefully, it was enough to make up for the crap I wrote in the morning.

When the exam was done and I turned on my cell phone, I had about 5 voicemails. People's main question is, "So do you think you passed this time?" How the heck should I know? I also get a lot of, "Well, compared to last time, how was it?" So not only are you making me relive this exam, but you're making me relive the pain of last July. Thanks.

Even though the Bar consumed my life for two months, it was quite easy getting back to "real life." The Friday after felt a little funny and almost wrong...I should be studying. I ended up finding the most perfect wedding dress and hanging out with friends and family. Everyday since, I've been on wedding mode, and now I'm gearing up for my trip to Paris.

So yes, life goes on after Round Deux. I must admit though, the last thing I think about before I sleep is, "I hope I passed."
