Soundbites

“I’m sure you’re going to pass.  I mean, most people pass don’t they? The only people who don’t pass are those that have some sort of a ‘block’ or something…”

- My boss

“You get your results soon, right? I don’t understand why people get all worked up over an exam. I mean, it’s just a test. But people act as though their entire life is going to be over if they don’t pass… I mean, oh my God, it’s really not that big of a deal…”

- File Clerk at work

“WHAT THE F#&% IS WRONG WITH ME??? WHY CAN I NOT PASS THIS F&*&ING EXAM???? How can I have been tied for valedictorian in high school, graduated college in three years, got decent grades in law school, and had success in every job, and yet I CAN’T PASS THIS F$%#ING TEST??  WHAT THE F*%^ IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!”  (hysterical crying and sobbing)

- me in the dream I had last night where I received a packet in the mail telling me I had failed. again.

Been there. Had that dream two night ago!

For comic relief:

“I’m sure you passed. Stop worrying and obsessing.” (By my friend who passed the bar in July.)
“Isn’t that what you said last time?” (Me, with just a touch of being thoroughly annoyed.)

We’ve all had those nightmares. Have a glass of wine before bed and pray for nice, fun dreams.

and they wonder why lawyers are substance abusers. I hope the bar examiners all die of ass cancer.

Oh my god, I would have disemboweled that file clerk. I love how ignorant people are. I would have gone off on him if I were you and said what you wanted to say in the other post. It would have put him in his place. Idiot.

And does your boss even have his license? No, “most people” don’t pass. I’ve discovered in my journey that a LOT of people fail the bar exam. A LOT. And I’m willing to bet it has nothing to do with stupidity or a “block”, just like the bar exam has nothing to do with being a competent attorney. Seriously, would you really write a brief or memo from memory without doing any research?
