I'm tired and I can't sleep. It's really hot and the cats are restless and the fan is loud. Yuck.

You're To Kill a Mockingbird!

by Harper Lee

Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've
also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,
but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you
whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.

I'm home alone for the better part of the evening, and instead of being productive, I just watched tv.  After a full hour of Alfred Hitchcock presents on the Chill channel, I'm wide awake.  Of course I watched 2 episodes with the plot of the woman home alone attacked in the night. So now it's after 1 and I'm still up, and there's no way I'm going to sleep any time soon.

Finished the bar exam, and that was nice but not quite a great feeling... I thought I was going to faint or something.  I'm glad that it is over, but it left me very drained.  I wasn't sure how I was going to make it, I was planning on dwelling on the details, not because I wanted to but because it was all I had...
And then Brian showed up after the test, and he had my Harry Potter with him, and I started it in the car back to our house.  Wow.  I was sucked in, from the quotes at the beginning.

And then! I was brave, and we went out, and I got drunk and it was great to see everyone one last time, and I didn't get back to the book until after midnight.  So, it took me until 3 pm today to finish, not a personal best at all.


So, there it is, my first livejournal cut.

All I can say is, thank goodness that's over.  I have successfully uploaded today's bar exam answers, and I'm glad I have one less thing to stress about.  Amazingly enough, for being 1/3 of the way through the hardest test I will ever take in my life, I feel relatively calm.
What's next? 6 hours of multiple choice, of course! Yay for # 2 pencils!
Which reminds me, I need to find my secret pencil stash...

Why can't I get motivated?  If I keep this up, I'm failing the bar.  I think I have a secret wish to fail, so that I don't have to face up to being a "responsible adult" and having a job and getting married.  Can't I just be a child again (even though I'm a long way away from childhood)? 
I'm freaking out.

To write the perfect essay, I believe I need to learn basic tasks, such as repeating facts that align with my rules to create and support analysis that leads to a conclusion.  A road map, as it were, to my answer.

Instead I write each essay as if I'm using a Jump to Conclusions Mat, like in Office Space. 

I see an issue and BAM! I have a conclusion about it, but no-one knows why.

Goal for the day:  Write all my practice exam paragraphs so that each step of the analysis receives proper attention.
