I seem to have survived the bar in one piece
Though my dreams haven't. The last few nights, I think I've channelled all the anxiety my conscious self was uninterested in feeling into my dreams. I've been waking up several times a night, each time from weird, stressful dreams. The last one before I got up this morning was law school, college, and high school all rolled into one, and it was finals week, but I couldn't find the exam schedule. Also, doctorconquest was really pissed off at me, and I never found out why. I woke up with the vague sense that I needed to apologize to him. (Friends being angry at me is one of my bigger stress triggers.)
As for the bar, I think that went pretty well. There were some questions I'm pretty sure I nailed, and others where I know (having looked it up later) that I applied entirely the wrong law, but all told, I think I probably did well enough to pass. (Yes, I'm hedging because I don't want to anger the gods. My exam hasn't been graded yet, and since it's all essay, the whim of the grader could very well be worth a crucial half point.)
designdoc's friend Shugi is in town for the weekend, so we went into the city yesterday. $16 being an awfully expensive elevator ride, we opted to go to the Starbucks on the 40th floor of the building where I used to work, instead of the Space Needle. We then went to the Science Fiction Museum and Experience Music Project. Didn't see much of the EMP, because we spent so much time at the SFM. There was a really neat timeline that described major world events and how they shaped science fiction. I just realized I don't recall seeing any Jules Verne there. Something published in a magazine in either the 1890's or 1900's was credited with being the first science fiction, which is patently absurd, as Verne published Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864. Maybe it was the first science fiction magazine? That would make more sense. Verne is in their Hall of Fame, but designdoc doesn't recall any of the exhibits featuring his work, either. Perplexing, since he wrote so much, so early. Shiny! I just found The Literature Network, which has the collected works of Jules Verne, along with what looks like a couple hundred other authors online and searchable.
