tomorrow is judgment day 1 of 3
Tomorrow I take my Texas bar exam. I'm hoping that this is both the first and the last time I take this test. I haven't really studied much the last 5 days. I've done a couple hours here and a couple there, probably averaging 3-4 hrs/day (and that is generous). Today I went to starbucks intending to study for a few hours. I ended up studying for 30 minutes and then shopping. I bought a dress for my mom, some ziplock baggies for the test tomorrow (any container you bring in must be see-through), and some cute jewelry. I also tried on about 100 pairs of shoes and that made me happy. I did laundry today, talked to some friends and family, managed to soak up another 2 hours of studying, and ate a homemade dinner of "brain food" thoughtfully prepared by my mom (salmon, peas, potatoes, and salad). After this here blog entry, I think I'll try to calm my nerves via a nice warm bubble bath. I'm completely wired. I've been up and down my stairs about 100 times and cannot keep still. My nerves are through the roof. Here is a conversation from earlier in the day:
ryan: ready for the test?
me: I'm not ready
me: but that doesn't really matter
ryan: its this week right
me: tomorrow is the first day
ryan: well good luck
me: gracias
ryan: is it written or multiple choice?
me: tomorrow and thurs are written, wed is MC
ryan: wow
me: indeed
ryan: when do you get the results?
me: may
ryan: thats a long time
ryan: you will be crazy and broke by then
me: no shit
So I guess that is what I have to look forward to after I finish the test. One thing at a time though. One thing at a time. *sigh*

So...Tell us what you thought og the exam!!!
I took the Texas BE 2 weeks ago (for the 2nd time). I studied regularly from mid November up to the exam. Having graduated from an OK law school TX law took some time to learn. Last time I failed by 9 points (less than 1%). The essay portion killed me. I got a 151 on the MBE and a 118 on the essay. So I guess you can figure out what I spent most of my study time on.
My feeling is that I did much better this time around on the essays. But I am nervous about the 1st property question, the 1st wills question, and a little bit about the last family question. Other than that I feel pretty good. I do think the MBE was a little more difficult than the last time around. But that is what scaling is for. Anyway, I just wanted to know what your impressions were.
