This is it!
Quote of the day: I have not examined the history of how and why the bar exam developed as it has, but I suspect that its purpose is to restrict entrance into the profession and to convince the public at large that lawyers are an elite group worthy of the enormous fees you pay us. The difficulty of the bar exam is also a macho thing, a hellish rite of initiation into a privileged and powerful circle.
Tomorrow I leave for Middleton, WI, where the bar exam is being held. I have done all I can do. I have now completed 1,200 practice multiple choice questions and read, outlined, and studied 72 previous WI essays. I've studied in my apartment (upstairs and downstairs), at 3 different libraries, in coffee shops, on a balcony, and any place I could grab a little privacy and some desk space.
I need to keep Professor Whitebread's words in mind: All you need is a glib understanding of the law, and there is always someone who knows less than you do.
Things I'm looking forward to:
1. Wednesday at 4:00 pm.
2. Seeing G next week.
3. Getting a paycheck again.
4. My birthday next month in Austin.
5. That first sip of alcohol after the bar exam...man, that's gonna be sweet.
Things I'm dreading:
1. Torts
2. Secured Transactions
3. Property
4. Civil Procedure
5. Secured Transactions
Thanks to all of you who sent me good wishes. Here goes nothing....
