Third time around...

So the NY bar exam results come out on Tuesday, and I took it for the second time in July. I didn't really care one way or the other while I was taking it, and I still feel the same about it. It was damn hard. The essays were not so bad as the the dreaded MBE, which I think might have been the hardest one I've taken out of the last three. I don't think my brain could have handled more studying and I don't think I could have been better prepared so we'll just have to hope I passed. If I didn't, that's ok. I am admitted in one state and that is just fine with me. I already am an Esq. If I do pass, I hope I will get some kind of bonus at work, though I don't know that I will.

Working as an attorney now as opposed to being a law clerk is a lot harder and a lot longer hours. I used to think I'd take as many bar exams as possible but now I just don't think I have it in me, at least not right now. But I do think that I could pass it again- I just would have to set my mind to it and I will pass.

Also- two of my friends who failed in Feb. the first time passed this time around in NJ, so I am very happy for them. After they failed in Feb, they asked me what I did to pass and I sat with them and plotted their study schedule, and I like to think it helped ;) All I can emphasize is the MBE- really nothing is more important than that. But I don't know if that will help in NY. I'll let you know on Tues.
