So, here I am. I am in my LAST WEEK of bar prep. I swore I thought I had to be medicated last week. I almost called my doctor to make an appointment. NO JOKE! Anxiety is getting to me. Luckily, Mr. Mister forced me to take a half-day Sunday and made me call my girlfriends for a dinner date. It was just what the “doctor” ordered, a half a day away from everything bar related (although, we did have appetizers at a bar while waiting for our table). I am starting this last week with a feeling of rejuvenation.

Every day I walk into our “bar pass pod” (a study area dedicated to students in our school studying to take the bar) there are different sticky notes stuck to each door. I am not sure who writes them but I LOVE them! Today mine was especially motivational: If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.

A Little Perspective

I’m beat! I am tired. I have been told by numerous people that I look “exhausted” (read: like shit). That’s what bar prep will do to you. Now that I am in the final two week stretch, my days are longer and my eyes have bigger bags under them. But, this morning I got a little perspective from my husband. Here was our exchange:

Mr. Mister: I think you are stealing all of my energy because I have none left.

Me: Uh, well I need it, so…thanks. I gotta run, have a fun day today.

Mr. Mister: You too!

Me: Fun?! There is nothing fun about what I am doing in that little office at school.

Mr. Mister: Are you kidding me?! It is fun for you. You live for this stuff! You live to learn and be a student and this will be the last time you will ever have this opportunity under true “school” settings. Make the most of it!

Boom! Prepare to be dominated Bar Exam!
