It's my bar freak out and I'll blog if I want to

Insane delusion: Persistent belief in supposed facts that are against all evidence, probability, and control.

Like "I'll pass the Bar."

I am mildly freaking out right now and have a full fledged freak out/panic attack scheduled for this afternoon. This may involve crying, rending of garments, gnashing of teeth, hyperventilating, dramatic proclamations, burning of books, and spending an hour on-line looking into pharmacy school while drinking vodka.

And I don't really even LIKE vodka.

Or pharmacists for that matter.

I love you, people/bloggers who have gone before me on the Bar. Really, I do. But it will *not* help me when you say "I freaked out, but I passed" any more than "I totally didn't start studying til July 5 and I passed."

So just don't do it, mmk?

If you're going to have a totally unproductive afternoon anyway, why not spend your freak-out time getting a massage or watching a movie? You can think of it as advance consolation in case you fail.

I was having this conversation with my husband the other day about how, after all the freakin' work I've put into studying for the bar, that I'd sure as hell better pass the thing. One of my law school friends is definitely NOT going to pass the bar. He keeps ditching the lectures, and that's even after he got a ridiculously low score on the practice MBE. I told Husband that while Friend is going to fail the bar, at least he's apparently having a good summer, ditching class and doing whatever. If I fail the bar, I would rather it have been because I spent my summer sunning myself and drinking a lot, instead of working my ass off, freaking out all summer. That's what I'll be most bitter about if I fail: a wasted summer vacation!

CM if I did that every time I felt a panic attack coming on, I'd never study at all.

Is there any way that bar prep can be considered Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress given that we volunteer for it? Can we file a claim against ourselves? Maybe I should just refer to your quotation about delusions....

Oh, to be minimally competent....
