Congrats on finishing the bar! October is a long wait. What do would-be lawyers do in the meantime as far as their careers go? Can you start at a law firm during the interim?
Your description of how cold it was from the previous post literally gave me the chills when I read it yesterday, and yesterday was record heat and humidity here. I always admire people who can write so descriptively that I can actually feel it.
Also, that testing strategy...I went to the test prep for the fire exam (which was totally stress-free and only four hours, so it has nothing on your bar exam) and they taught to underline and circle words in very short questions. WTF? Just read and answer, dudes. People were actually doing that on test day and did not finish in the allotted time. I don't get it.
Well, some of the lucky ones that have worked at summer jobs have managed to get an offer out of that, so a few of them manage to get hired and have a job waiting for them after that pass the bar. Most are sort of just waiting around since no one gets hired till after the results (or so the career services person at my law school said). It's apparently not the best job market now, so people are doing whatever they can to get hired. The good news for me is that I got a scholarship, so I don't have a lot of loans coming due soon. That means I sort of have the luxury of taking my time to try to find a good placement. I'm going to look into doing free work at a few places until I get enough experience to either go out of my own or get hired somewhere

That's probably it. I think I just got so keyed up that I eventually crashed and the cold didn't help. Thanks, though. I always have a hard time evaluating how I did on tests and papers, so I'm just going to wait and see what happens. :)
