The adventures of a middle aged law student

opposites or not

I had expected my anxiety to increase as the bar exam grew closer, but oddly this has not been the case.  In fact, about two weeks out I came upon what I thought was the eye of the storm.  A mixture of calm resignation and dogged onwardness.

I can't say that the anxiety doesn't continue to raise its head, because it does.  And I dream-a lot.  But some sort of undertone of either capacity or foolish belief has taken hold, and I feel it too, along with the worry.

This combination makes for an odd coupling-like most, I suppose.  At variance and yet accustomed to the other's presence so that both end up part of the other.  I am unable at times to separate the dance in my head and see who is who.

I know I will miss it when the music ends.
