I feel crummy today, as I did last night when I was sitting here dejected and licking my wounds. Actually, I think I had been wound up with hope in the last couple of weeks because of my job and because of encouraging friends. But the feeling I had after the Bar exam was that I had taken it a bit prematurely for my level of preparation. When is enough enough? A pretty defeating concept, a pretty familiar one when you go to law school.
I had gotten myself mentally stable for whatever the results were. (See post below.) But the funny thing was, once I found out, I got on the phone with a friend who also found the same fate and we proceeded to scream and cry about being dumb and stupid. That's the beauty about coping -- it doesn't exactly go off without a hitch.
My friend said, "I don't want to do this again. It's like giving birth to the same baby twice."
I said, "I want to kill myself!" to which my other friend replied, "No, that won't help, then you'll never be a lawyer."
Adversity breeds the best humor, don't you think?
