The Storm Before The Calm

I don't want to take to much time to blog, but I just wanted to tell you all I am 20% done with the bar exam! I completed the Civil & Criminal Procedure & Evidence Exam and the Multistate Performance Test. I am very glad they are over and I don't want to talk about them! They are over... that is what matters. Now on to the Multistate Bar Exam (200 multiple choice questions) tomorrow and the Texas Essays (12 essays) on Thursday. Be praying guys!

About 100 blogworthy things happened today, but I will only mention three. 1- One of the proctors was yelling at us at the top of his lungs several times throughout the exam. I wanted to tell him to calm down. We should be stressed NOT HIM.
2- A girl taking the exam raised her hand while the exams were being collected after the first test and proceeded to yell at the examiner about how some people were getting up to go to the restroom and he had not told us we could. She mentioned something about how if some people can do it shouldn't we all be able to. I don't really know exactly why she wanted to yell but I felt embarrassed for her... Though I doubt she will appreciate the sentiment because she clearly was not embarrassed for herself.
3- The exam room was crazy cold and the proctors managed to make everything two times more complicated and time consuming then necessary as always (I am glad they are so thorough... I would hate for my exam to be lost, so keep on being diligent examiners! I just may briefly complain about it, if that is alright).... But the good news is ONE DAY DOWN!!!!

Lastly, and this one is where the post got its title... Please be praying for me tonight and tomorrow night that I would sleep well. I tend to have rather severe test anxiety that I can't seem to control in my sleep. During my first semester of law school, I woke up every semester throwing up the morning before a big exam and I did it again last night. I am able to control my anxiety while I am awake and actually am quite calm by the exam itself, but while sleeping is another story. Please pray that I would sleep well the next two nights and not wake up throwing up (gross I know, but at least you are not the one who does it)! I managed to sleep well until 1am and after 2:30am this morning, which is a huge praise! But I did not enjoy 1-2:30 very much. I doubt I will throw up again because I can already tell I am a lot less stressed than I was yesterday, but prayer couldn't hurt! Thanks!
