Almost mid-October now...part of me wants an answer now, part of me doesn't ever want to know...
Everyone has been really, really nice about this whole bar thing- all "Of COURSE you passed, just don't worry", "I have a good feeling," et. cetera.
Honestly, the most comforting thing anyone has said to me in the last week was my boss: "It's OK to be freaked out of your mind. We've all been there. There is no way not to worry about it."
The happy thoughts are nice, keep 'em coming, but I can't make my hopeful-yet-pessimistic brain believe them.

Still waiting...
The waiting is, indeed, the hardest part (thank you, o wise Mr. Petty).
I'll supposedly find out in a few weeks whether my name is on the Dear Lord, Thank You list or the Sorry, Try Again list.
My heart broke weeks ago for my friend in North Carolina who learned she was going to have to give their Bar Exam another try. She's a pretty smart cookie (and their exam is supposedly easier than Virginia's) so I'm even more anxious than I would have been otherwise.
Anyone else besides Virginia still waiting on Bar Exam results?

fun times
you guys.
we got a Wii.
it is the most fun thing ever.
it is almost enough fun to distract me from the fact that the Virginia Bar results won't be posted until MID-OCTOBER (grrr.).

A question...
Is it a big, bad, scary, take.him.to.the.vet.now thing that my cat snores, basically all the time? Its been going on a while now, but sometimes (like when he's REALLY asleep) it gets really cartoony (hoooonk, pheeeeew).
TheMan doesn't think it's a big deal, but my overly anxious nature is ready to research tiny kitty-sized sleep apnea machines...

Overheard in my apartment
"I really want to get The Shins' CD"
"Oh, I almost picked that up when I was at Target the other day, since it was only like, $10, and plus, I really tend to like bands with a 'the' at the beginning of their names."
"..."
"You know, The Beatles, The Donnas, The Fratellis, The Clash..."
"Wow, babe. Rolling Stone is really missing out on this musical theory. They should totally hire you."

Not dead, just busy busy busy
busy busy busy, so narrative structure be damned...
Post bar exam spa trip was wonderful, but was during the hottest 2 days of the summer (heat index of 115 both days). The first day, we were so determined to make the most of our time there, we were literally the only ones out on the resort's tennis courts in the middle of the afternoon. Poor TheMan was out playing golf in the hot hot heat on the second day while I spa'd and lounged by the pool. Several adult beverages were consumed, and a merry ole' time was had by all.
While the spa was delightful while I was getting mah treatments, I have to say I think the whole thing is a bit of a rip off (except for pedicure, and maybe the eyebrow wax, dear God, why did no one tell me how much easier that is than pluck pluck plucking my (blonde) unibrow away?). 2 days after an $80 facial, my pores re-gunked themselves and I look exactly the same; my manicure chipped the very next day... BUT I'm not complaining, it WAS super relaxing in the moment, which was just what I needed before...
MY FIRST DAY OF WORK, which was also awesome. We have confirmed DreamJob status, and I'm really excited to start bigger projects and cases :) For obvious reasons (not the least of which is that I really don't want to be FIRED), I'm not going to talk a lot about my job here, just know that it is very fun and rewarding (and I might even be good at it!).
OK, so not actually a lot of news fit to print at the moment. Stay tuned to see if my life gets any more fun.

hooray!
Just found out I'll be with the division I wanted at DreamJob! Hoorayyyy!!!
Also, I have my very own fish, already in the office and waiting for me to start (he's being tended to by Favorite Coworker until I get there)- a Red Beta fish named Jürgen Habermas (a reference to TheMan's grad school days, when he declared Habermas his "buddy").
