I don’t believe this

I finally found out when the release date is here, and it just happens to fall on the day of my surgery! So I’ll be busy being sliced and diced when results are posted. Then I’m stuck at home for two weeks afterwards recovering from surgery, so if I fail, I get to spend two weeks savoring the failure.

This just confirms what I’ve always believed: that bar examiners truly are sadists.

Oh my gosh

I decided to look at the Colorado Supreme Court’s website to see when Colorado bar results would be released because I have at least one friend who’s waiting for CO results, not to mention that I seem to have quite a few CO bar takers reading my blog. May 1st?!?!?! Wow, that’s much earlier than previous years. I see they claim results won’t be posted earlier than 10:00 am. BS. In my unfortunately vast experience, they seem to always say that, but then post results first thing in the morning.

I don’t know the names of many of my readers, but when results come out, will you please let me know how it turned out for you? Especially those of you that I sent my bar prep materials to. I would also like to know if my materials and/or suggestions helped. I think I’m going to eventually post most of my materials (at least those that won’t get me sued by BarBri or something) on this blog but I’d like to know if they actually worked for others first.

Oh yeah

I forgot to mention that I just found out I have to have surgery on my shoulder in TWO WEEKS. I just KNOW they’ll release bar results while I’m in surgery, and when I wake up in the recovery room someone’s going to tell me that I failed the bar. At least I’d be under the influence of mass quantities of drugs, right?

I feel like I’ve sort of jinxed myself now that I’ve accepted the public defender job offer. I guess they assume I’ll pass this bar since I passed Colorado, but I didn’t exactly let it slip that it took me three tries to pass Colorado. I’m still applying for federal attorney jobs in this state “just in case” because I DO NOT want to take the bar again this summer, or anytime soon for that matter. I would rather bail on the PD job and take a federal job than endure a fifth straight bar exam this summer.

Still waiting

Well, the stakes just got higher for this stupid bar exam. I just got offered a job as a public defender here. Of course I’m totally psyched and excited about this job, but at the same time it also scares me even more than usual because bar results still haven’t been released yet. It’s so frustrating waiting for results when it seems like a lot of states have already released theirs.

Ow

I tried yoga for the first time ever on Sunday. Afterward, I was nearly paralyzed with pain and soreness. I had no idea yoga could be that tough. I want to try Pilates to see if I like it. My doctor recommended Pilates for my shoulder injury, so we’ll see.

I’ve been busy applying and interviewing for attorney jobs, but I’ve started applying for federal attorney jobs in this state as well because I still feel like I failed the bar exam here. And frankly, if I failed, there’s no way in hell I’m taking it again. I didn’t realize how limited the number of attorney jobs were here. Never move to a place with a small legal community. I’m not sure what will happen. Even if I get a job here, what if I failed the bar exam? And there’s a chance, however slight, that I could pass the bar but still not be able to find an attorney job here. I’d rather just move back to Colorado or take a federal attorney job. Ugh. Back to USAJobs I go.

I’m not sure when results come out. Sometime in early to mid-May is what I’ve heard.
