There might be an old moth or two, but that's about it.
In fact, the bottom of my stomach closely resembles the uncleaned tray in a bug zapper after a long, hot, wet summer. Amidst the carnage littering the tray you can clearly see the crispy-fried carcasses of butterflies from Bar Exams past.
In reality, my stomach feels like it has termites. I was just joking about the ulcer earlier. But now I seriously think I'm going to have to make an appointment with my Doc.
God, please let this be over.

I'm cheering you on. I'm a first time test taker (hoping to G-d that I pass) and I have to say, I admire your strength!
GOOD LUCK!!!
Hang in there, we are all right there with you!
GP,
Good luck! I'm in Oklahoma and your page loaded up with the countdown timer showing the time is up. I thought it would have been sensitive to the location of your computer. Although, I guess that earthquake during the bar exam could have knocked you into the central time zone.

Less than 1 hour. Bring it.
I followed your blog last year and I related even though I passed 1st try-. I think there is just a fine line to pass and I still feel as if I lucked out. I know you know your law. :)
Anyway, I actually checked YOUR results last Feb before my own. Just so you know, many people are pulling for you- especially since you have the courage to share your experiences.
OMG. Less than 30 minutes. I need to change my colostomy bag.
I'm nervous as vampire, and I didn't even take the exam yet! I'm just jittery for everyone that did.
Goldenrail... I didn't think that vampires were nervous. I always thought of them as very self-assured. Who knew?! Don't worry about jitters. There's a lot of time for that, later.

@JLK, Esq. I didn't think of that. You see, in my family, 'vampire' is the replacement for all swear words.
I guess you could say that the #@*vampire-ing^%$ Bar Exam really sucks!

PS: Nice photo.
@JLK, Esq. Yup, that's pretty much how we use the word. And glad you like the pick, thanks :)
The witching hour has arrived. Good luck, all.
