pass the bar

and I can hopefully check this one off my list.

The last time I checked my 43 things account was about 2 years ago and I’m happy to say that I’ve passed the bar and am now a member of the Philippine Bar :)

Yay :)

I hate the bar. Its only 31 days away and I loathe it. And I loathe myself.

Four weeks to the day I found out I passed, I got my dream job. God happens

I missed it by 10 points. Fuck!

I just found out that I passed the New York bar! Of course I am both happy and relieved, but I don’t think that the magnitude of it all has hit me yet.

More than anything, I am hoping that my friends pass too.

Random thoughts:

This week is do or die. I’ve been thinking about it. People keep reminding me.

I see it as a win-win situation. Either I pursue an art career with zeal of a motorcycle racer zooming toward the finish line and don’t look back or I face the challenge of dealing in an industry I find stifling but legitimizing none the less. There’s good in both.

I feel like I’ve been praying so hard for this that the outcome is a clear sign. God is in the details here for sure.

I plan to party Thur. and Friday no matter what. By coincidence, I have a couple of fun things lined up. At this point, I just want to get past this. So many of my decisions are based on this outcome.

It’s either a ticket in or a ticket out.

I definitely plan to wait until i get home from work. I can’t imagine being able to concentrate.

I have a date on Friday so that’ll be nice.

Law school turned a once pretty confident woman into a quivering mess. I won’t allow this to conquer me. I’m trying again…a third time. This time, with no boyfriend to distract! And in a different state. I think psychologically, I just didn’t want to stay in Florida and passing the bar there would have meant being stuck there at least for a few years. The universe wanted me elsewhere … and now I’m in a better place.

Woohoo! I passed the New Jersey bar!!!!

I am still waiting to see if I passed New York, but I am so happy that I can practice in 1 state.

The results should be coming out on a Friday in November starting with the 13th.

I’m really nonchalant about it at this point. I just want peace in my career and endeavors.
