These halcyon days of bar prep are marching inexorably to a close. Only three weeks now. I took a little field trip to Oakland yesterday to scope out the location, and my nearby hotel. My laptop is registered and so am I. All that remains is three weeks of full on memorization, practice exams and MBE's.
Time to pause for a moment today and be grateful for this experience and for this time. It's a hollowed out space in the vast sand dunes of life, where I can burrow in and pull a blanket over my head, protection against the coastal winds, and the vagaries of weather.
As happens whenever I contemplate the actual exam, my heart races, anxiety roars up like a wild thing. And I try to remember to come to this place where my quiet terror meets with some perspective. This is a big thing- for me at least, but there are other, more difficult battles being waged daily, endlessly, around me. I saw a face this morning on my run that reminded me that many face challenges not of their choosing. I am blessed.
