YES!!!!!!!

I PASSED!!!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!! No more being an angtsy and mopey hermit....

I just got the letter today and I officially passed the bar exam. *sigh*

Man, I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to finally know. I'd convinced myself that there was no way I could have passed. After all, there was at least one essay question on Criminal Procedure that I knew I'd blown. And I've already talked about my love/hate affair with multiple choice exams.

I knew as of last night since I got a text from a law school pal who found out from another friend of hers that they had the results posted on-line. (They post the exam numbers of people who passed on the official website.) They were supposed to have them up as of last Friday, but for some reason didn't. (Don't ask me how many times I checked the website this weekend... too many to count! And yes, I was cussing the bar examiner people out big time each time I did.)

But I got a hold of the link late last night and there my number was... Then, there's me in my flannel PJ's dancing around the living room screaming and yelling with the family dog staring at me like I'd lost my mind. *laugh* Of course, I had to have my brother double and triple check the number to be sure. But thankfully, the letter showed up today saying that my eyes had not deceived me and the bar examiners weren't playing some belated April Fools joke on my anxiety ridden self.

This is both cool and scary at the same time... I can now *gulp* practice law! I fly out next month to take the oath and get the little piece of paper that says I am a practising attorney. Sheesh...

I must give a HUGE thank you to my wonderful, lovely friends and family. Everyone has been so supportive.

Now, I head back to the real world and the lovely job search...
