Day Forty-Two: Bottoms up (?)



In less than two weeks, I am once again subjecting myself to one of the most difficult tests in the country: the bar examination (this time in Iowa). I've been studying for several weeks now, but this go around with significantly less vigor than the first time. Although the combination of studying and working at the same time creates a different type of delirium than the first time around, I still wake up each morning pretty darn tired, often working hard to figure out which way is up. That feeling often looks like this...and at that point in time, I'm not sure which type of bottom should be up (coffee v. some other tantalizing beverage).

For those of you who are wondering if I'm planning on moving back to Iowa, the answer as of right now is no. Taking the exam at this point is simply a precautionary measure so that just in case something would happen that would require me to move back to Iowa, I could do so without any major hiccups. Because I've recently taken, and performed decently, on the multiple choice portion of the test, I can transfer that score and only take half of the test. Still...it's not a fun day. Wish me luck! (I'm sure you'll hear more about the impending exam as the days draw nearer.)
