Bar Exam Series

As many of you know very well know, I took the bar exam for Tennessee in late February. I decided early on to blog about the process, for a couple of reasons:

1. To help any future bar takers that happen to set foot upon my blog. Studying for the bar is by far the craziest emotional rollercoaster I've ridden. You can literally go from soaring confidence one day to feeling like there's no way you'll pass the next day. For those willing to join the ride, I'd like for you to have a front seat view.

2. Writing has a therapeutic effect, at least for me. While I refrain from treating these posts as  "venting" everyday problems, sharing valid struggles often opens the doors for others to admit that it's not easy for anyone if we're all honest.

3. I am purposely witholding several posts until I get the bar results. I have included some experiences and raw emotions that shouldn't be shared until I found out how I did.

I have broken my bar studying and taking experience into several chunks, often into weeks or days.
 I realize a lot of people's eyes glaze over when you begin to talk about anything legal, so if a particular post doesn't interest you, skip it and maybe the next post will suit your fancy.

That being said, let's go to the beginning, which begins at the end (of law school)...
