ROUND 1: FIGHT!
"don't oversleep your exams!" was what they said when i got to college. what did i do? i overslept my first final my first semester @ berkeley.
"don't ever leave your computer unattended~ people steal them!" was what they said when i went to law school. what happened? my laptop got stolen from my place of work the day before my first final, my second semester there.
"anything can happen during the bar exam; be prepared that ANYTHING can happen.." what happened? the software that i downloaded for the bar exam decides that my computer is the "Wrong Computer" and so i had to write my exam today. that's 6 hours (actually about 4.5 to 5 hrs). of writing. when i had been practicing taking it on my laptop. remember the reason i bought a laptop to begin with??
..does anyone else see a pattern here?
now, i still have a chance because we have another writing portion on thursday.. buuuut no one is picking up at the "help-line" for this software. i sent them a frantic email and they basically said they'd get back to me. ummm... yea, thanks.
and i'm paying for internet service, btw. $10 a day.. so i'm up to $20 down the hole because of computer problems for the bar. that i haven't been able to fix.
*sigh*
so it looks like i'm writing my entire bar exam.
honestly though, when they told me i would have to write my exam, i could instantly feel the familiar tingling and burning behind my eyes. then i remembered that anything can happen, but the point is to keep your cool and rise above the stress
i also remembered my prayer this morning - to be able to remember to keep things in perspective, everything happens for a reason and that everything will be alrite. no matter what happens, everything will be ok.
so i swallowed my tears, took a few deep breaths, borrowed a pen from the girl next to me (cuz all i had was a purple and red pen) and took the exam. when i couldn't fix my computer in time for the performance exam, i didn't even bother taking my computer back to the exam site. i just brought all my pens and sat down. took a deep breath and wrote.
i honestly have no feelings about how i did on the exam. all i know is that i did the best that i could and that's all i can do at this point. if i fail, i'll just get back up and do it again.
because i know that's what i have to do.
day 1: bar exam wins..
-__-;; 2 more days to go.
