Girl Finding Her Way

Babblings, rants and the general nonsense of a 20-something newly admitted attorney trying to find her way

Waiting Game April 23, 2008

I feel like I’m doing a lot of waiting lately. Waiting to move to a new place (Sunday!!! yay!!). Waiting for Unofficial to get his head out of his ass… err… be ready. But, most importantly, waiting for my bar results. This. F’ing. Sucks. I was all fine with the wait until this week. I’ve convinced myself that the results will come out VERY soon.

 

Because of my ability to lie to myself, I’m now in deep anxiety mode. I was scheduled for a double at work today. It’s BEAUTIFUL outside, so we weren’t too busy. I scooted out as quickly as possible and bee-lined it home. I NEEDED to check the mail. Now, mind you, I’m still in Plymouth so it’s a good 30 minute drive between the apartment and work. (Come Sunday, only 15 minutes! Yay!) Regardless, I made the drive just to check my mail.

 

I am now hating the United States Postal Service. Daily, I am disappointed. Yesterday, it was a pamphlet from some local community college (because I definitely need more school right?!). Today, it was a flier from Bed Bath & Beyond. Granted, that $5 coupon on the last page may come in handy due to this move, but seriously……. GIVE. ME. MY. RESULTS. NOW!!!

 

The anxiety, I think, is worse than right before the exam. Honestly. I was pretty crazy right before the exam, too. This is worrisome for me because if I manage to get “crazier” I think it may drive away everyone in my life. Haha. I’m already over-reacting to nothing (literally, nothing) in regards to Unofficial. He and I are *very* good right now. And, I am being crazy because he has become “linked” to someone on that site where you “link” with others and I think it’s someone else he’s dating. So, I googled her and found her facebook… etc etc. Now, nothing has changed with he and I. I just now have a face for the name… which should make me feel a little better because if I’m being catty (and of course I am) I would say that I’m prettier and a better all around package. But, that’s only if I’m being catty… ;-) I feel confident with he and I, but this over-riding anxiety makes me insane. I’m trying to be calm, cool and collected like the MSN horoscopes told me to be… hahaha

 

I’ll write about Marathon Monday later. I just needed to vent. There’s been some serious action on this blog the last few days. Lots of visitors and some who are even searching for “bar results snarky runner” and the like. Very cool. You know, you can leave comments too! ;-) hahaha.

    I am waiting for my Mass bar exam results too! I just started to freak out about it this week…..the wait is killing me. I am thinking we are going to get the results around May 1, but that is just a guess.

    I am waiting for MA results too and am having serious anxiety dreams and random bouts of nausea! Do you think we’ll find out before May 1st?? I guess I’ll have to start stalking the mail-woman.

    Anyway, I love your blog. You make me smile and you’re a great writer! I’m rooting for you too!

  5. snarkyrunner Says:

    Good luck to you!! The random bouts of nausea are definitely something I am familiar with. I think it’s a symptom of the anxiety attacks… hahaha.

    I am HOPING and PRAYING that we find out before the first! I’ve been checking my email every day like a mad woman. I even check it after I’ve already gotten the mail for the day as if the mail person may have forgotten to put my results in my box and came back to do so. Ridiculous, no?

    Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it!! I hardly ever get any feedback about how I write on here or what people think of the content, so it’s nice to hear!!

    I too am waiting for Mass Feb. ‘08 bar results, and like others, the wait is killing me. I actually called the BBE and was told results would be out “early May.” I asked for clarification — does that mean first or second week of may — but was again told “early May.” I’m just praying that means the 1st.

    Anyhow, it’s funny how similar the experiences are. Just this week, I started fretting about it (hardly thought about it at all before) and having tormenting anxiety dreams.

    Helloooo, Just starting to freak out now and googled the feb 2008 bar exam and wondered if there were like-minded fingernail biters….am glad to see i’m not alone. Good luck to everyone. Today was the first day I’ve really started to get unnerved.

  8. new2mass Says:

    Just found your blog searching for Mass Bar Results. I wanted to say good luck and I’m in the same boat with my waiting game. The anxiety dreams are just starting to kick in full-force….it will all be over soon though. Good Luck To All!!!!

  9. i'm waiting too! Says:

    Oh it is so nice to see others are feeling the same way – not sure how I’ve been able to put it out of my head for the last two months, but i have also convinced myself that they are going to be coming any day now. I won’t see anyone after work, because that might mean that I won’t be able to run home and get the mail. Anxiety is a funny thing isn’t it? At least I seem to be losting a couple of pounds due to the nerves! Good luck everyone!

    I am waiting for Maryland Feb ‘08 exam results….should be coming out May 2, but this wait is absolutely killing me!

  11. WNC Says:

    I too am waiting for my results and this is definitely unnerving.

  12. SheWantsRevenge Says:

    Well, it’s the morning of May 1st. If even a few of you are like me, I haven’t really been sleeping, my stomach is doing horrible things, and I’m relying on Ativan to keep the twitching to a minimum. People at work are avoiding me. Rightfully so.

    I anticipate that we all will be getting Mass results today. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have gone through this. I failed the July Bar with a 263. But let’s not dwell on that, shall we….where I’m going with this is that the results were released on Oct 31, and most people, including me all the way in Western Mass, got them on the 1st.

    I really hope it’s the same schedule as before. I can’t take much more of this.

    Aw, Revenge. Good luck to you. I hope repeaters have good news coming soon.

    By the way, for those of you who failed – and first-timers, what kind of work are you doing now? I actually took another state bar before I came back to MA and have been having a tough time finding decent employment. What are you all up to?

    Hello. And Bye.

    XRumerTest -Hello. And, I guess, bye.
