the height of the anxiety
so some states have gotten their bar exam results. some states even had nice little emails from their boards of bar examiners telling them when theirs would be up. well not us. not a peep from the VA board of bar examiners. but once people started hearing in other states, we started thinking about it and checking and doing the mental math on when it could be. i was checking every few days or so.
and then someone at work did some research and figured out that in the past they have been released on oct. 10, oct. 11 and oct. 15. or some such nonsense. so then i started checking. neurotically. i'd check every time it crossed my mind. and the more you check, and the more the first year associate class emails about it, the more it crosses your mind. i could tell you that bar results had not been posted overnight, that they had not been posted between 9am and 11am, and then at some point it reached the point where i could tell you they had not been posted between 3:14 and 3:16. you know, laura style! i mean, i am the girl who would look for class reviews on lawweb every day and then set my alarm for 5:58 the next day, so i could wake up and be the first person to see the grade was up, and then email the entire section and let them know. it's part of my charm.
anyways. i noticed that diana looked even more nervous than usual at lunch today. turns out she has some friend who works for a judge in virginia. he got the word today that they would be out tomorrow. friday.
but this still leaves me to wonder. when? midnight? the start of the work day? some random time? 6:30, so that most of us are on our way out of work and when we (read:I) lose it, at least i can do it in the privacy of my apartment?
the WORST part is that i am out of the office in a meeting for 3 hours dead smack in the middle of tomorrow. i'll be trying to take down every word spoken at some regulatory meeting where i can't even figure out what's going on and i'll be refreshing my blackberry every four seconds, only to burst out into tears in the middle of some FERC conference. sweet. (actually, i have thought about this and i really don't think i'll cry if i didn't pass. i may however drink on my way back to the office.)
anyways, good luck to everyone!
