An elf walks into a bar...

I'm sure you did great, Starrfall. Congrats!

At this point I'd say it will be more surprising if I don't pass than it will be if I do. But yeah after 18 hours there's always a chance you completely missed something without noticing. Or for even more paranoia, there's always a chance that when I uploaded my answer files the text all converted to wingdings.

But at lunch on the last day we got chinese food and my fortune cookie said "all of your hard work will soon be rewarded" so COME ON

And yes, 18 hours for 6 hours a day (two 3 hour sessions with a lunch break, add in instructions and all of that and you're pretty much there from 8am to 5pm, minus lunch.) It's incredibly boring and incredibly scary at the same time and I can't believe you NY bastards only had to go for two days >:(

edit: oh also they find the WORST FUCKING CHAIRS POSSIBLE so they can make it just as physically painful as it is mentally painful I swear to god these chairs were made in the 60's in order to punish people

Incidentally it's 8:37 again and I still have nothing to do and it's summer in california and not a billion fucking degrees for once. Yesterday ended with me turning the grill into a smoker and doing some babyback ribs and beef. Not taking the bar is WAY better than taking the bar.

*Is awaiting the big, greasy envelope full of ribs that will surely arrive in the mail today.*

Just once I want to see a fortune cookie that says "Your whole life is about to go down the shitter."

Oh yeah? Back in my day, we didn't get to take the bar exam on those fancy "computer" thingies that you got to use, I had to write everything with a dull #2 pencil covered in bacon grease, and I still have a callous on my middle finger.*

*May or may not be related to other uses of said finger.

So now Starrfall is legally a liar?
Great.

Lol.

It's been bugging me; why would you try to convince someone not to become a lawyer?

Luckily, I now have two months of absolutely nothing to do before the next phase (which is "become one of the most valuable land use attorneys in the state") kicks off.

What? You aren't going to spend your articles in a locker in the public defender's office struggling for justice for the common man (catching the bus to work while 'Hill Street Blues'-esque music plays)?
Instead sand, and hardhats and displaced gophers.

If it's any morbid consolation for you, I took mine during a blizzard in Albany. On the second day I got the flu, my leaky nose kept blurring my pencil dots and jerky handwriting, the poor girl sitting next to me had to bear all my sniffling, and the last few hours especially were swirled into a complete hazy stupor. Ugh... It was so laughably awful.
