I Passed....but The Bar Exam is Still a Bitch
I took the Bar Exam more than once, several times actually, and lived to tell the tale....retakers take heart...the bar is a bitch...but not impossible...

When the going gets tough....
I cannot wait to pass this god forsaken exam....I can't even imagine what it would be like to actually get a letter in the mail saying I passed, rather than the ones I have become so accustomed to....

I wonder what it will finally feel like to not have all of this hanging over my head anymore? I wonder if I will even want to practice once I finally have that little piece of paper saying I'm allowed?

I know I'll be proud when the moment finally arrives....I hang on to that on days like today when it is grey and cold and raining and I am so sick of looking at these outlines and MBE's and flashcards that I could just hurl them all....

    I feel your pain and feel exactly the same way. At least there is comfort in knowing there are others like us out there. Don't give up!

    i totally agree.
    this is my third try.
    i am so exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically...
    working full time and studying is making me very depressed.

    good luck.

    Y.

    I feel like it's dejava with these topics I read/study/pored over time and time again.

    I am taking the bar in another jurisdiction this time. The new topics are freaking me out. I never took them in law school or Barbri, so I have to teach myself basically.

    I am in it, and I am in it to pass! (as Hillary Clinton said sorta*)

    I am totally in the same spot. I've spent this entire week wondering why I'm going for it again (this is my 4th try in NC). I hate this so much.

    I often wonder if I get that letter, will I even want to practice? right now, that answer is a big fat no!

    I've totally realized that there is so much more to me than law school, which for a while I felt like it was the only thing I could do. It isn't. I've had alot of time to see the other things I can excel at and I'm encouraged to try those things.

    Its just so hard to stay motivated. I don't really care anymore about passing this as much as I once did.

    Know you aren't alone in these feelings.

    To everyone feeling beatdown----

    I understand....really I do....try to keep thinking about the end, rather than the process....I know how hard it is....but none of us are doing this alone and it does help to know that somebody else is spending most of their day / night doing exactly what you are....

    So....go kick ass....the feelings pass....

    To the 4th time NC taker---

    Hey you....don't you even think twice about "why" you're doing this again....we do this again (and again) b/c someone said we didn't make it and we all know that isn't true...

    It goes beyond being a lawyer...I think any repeater knows that...and of course lawyer-ing isn't all you are, clearly if you got into law school you are top notch.... coming back to the test is about being proud you didn't quit....

    I don't want to spend the rest of my life thinking there was something I couldn't do....and neither do you I bet....I mean if we were talking making it into the Olympics, that would be different---but this we can do...it's just a fucking test...
