Like a Yo-Yo
Well, this last couple of weeks has been a bit like a roller-coaster ride, or a yo-yo! I found out two weeks ago that I had not passed the bar exam my first time around. My results didn't actually come in the mail as they were supposed to do, so all I knew was that my name was not on the WSBA pass list online. After an hour or so of feeling sorry for myself, I ended up moving past the disappointment and had a lovely weekend with Woodroe and his daughter. I eventually told my mom that, although I certainly was not glad that I'd failed, I really appreciated the love and support I received from all of my friends and family. It *almost* made it worth it!
Fast forward a week; I got my actual results, and found out that I had only missed passing by ONE POINT! Which created a combination of feelings within me, including frustration that I had missed that dang point and relief that I had not bombed the exam after all! I also found out that everyone within 2.5 points of passing was allowed to challenge their results by submitting an appeal - so I requested a review of my score on the full number of questions (6) allowable. I won't hear about the result of my appeal until the end of December, but at least that is done...
I am still job-hunting, though now I'm much more flexible about *what* I apply for. Internships are again a possibility, though I've had no joy in that area either. In the meantime, my family (immediate and extended) is helping me make ends meet. I also may be flying to Florida for a week or two in November to do some work for my uncle...what a hardship...not! :)
Things continue to go well with my boyfriend Woodroe and I am so thankful to have him in my life. My family is doing well, thank God. And Marshall & Sarah's wedding last weekend was a beautiful hit! So that's the news from my neck of the woods today...bye for now!
