Comments:
I can personally attest to how hard this Bar examination was.

Now to pass that sneaky MPRE this weekend...
 
Congratulations to everyone who passed!
 
hooray for passing!
 
Also, my mood earlier today was like this.

8:45 a.m. -- arrive at work. Pour large cup of green tea. Drink it single gulp.

8:47 a.m. -- decide single-gulping hot, caffeine-loaded green tea was a bad idea.

9:00 a.m. -- sit in corner, shaking

9:01 a.m. -- make blood pact with coworkers also awaiting Bar results to wait until we are in the privacy of our own homes to check, lest someone be sad and someone happy.

11:00 a.m. -- leave to lunch, a nervous wreck

11:30 a.m. -- get a fortune cookie that says, "Admire the success of others. Learn from them and you will have your own success."

11:31 a.m. -- curse the Fortune Cookie Gods

11:32 a.m. -- my friend gets the exact same fortune

11:35 a.m. -- we demand new fortune cookies

11:40 a.m. -- we get two new fortune cookies. They each contain the same fortune.

11:45 a.m. -- sacrifice waiter to Fortune Cookie Gods and blaspheme their unholy names.

12:00 p.m. -- return to work

12:30 p.m. -- First Panic Attack, widely regarded by historians as only a run up to the Second Panic Attack.

1:00 p.m. -- second panic attack that culminates in me punching the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom. Ow.

1:15 p.m. -- return to seat, do work. Hate life.

1:20 p.m. -- my friend whispers in my ear, "Congratulations."

1:21 p.m. -- my friends give me enthusiastic thumbs up.

1:22 p.m. -- I threaten them with death and dismemberment if they are messing with me.

1:23 p.m. -- turns out they're not.

1:25 p.m. -- I look myself... sure enough, I passed.

1:30 p.m. to 6:20 p.m. -- I spend the rest of the day sitting on this news so as not to violate the sacred blood pact.

7:00 p.m. -- tension finally drains from me and I haven't been able to move since.
 
Lane-- Whewwww! Congratulations.
 
Lane,

I had just about the same experience, save the fortune cookies.
 
Well Lurch, congrats to you! Will you be suing your former employers for OSHA violations as your first act as an attorney?
 
Congrats to Lane and everyone else!!

Hard to believe that one short year ago I was that girl in the cafe...except Prof Osler, your father could add a little laptop and have the gal nervously hitting Refresh, Refresh, Refresh...on the TxBLE website. Each refresh was like cutting the bomb wire in a Bruce Willis Movie.
 
Is this painting for sale?
