I passed the CA bar exam and am officially a lawyer. I was sworn in by a judge last week. At some point, I will write a post about what I did to pass. When I began my bar studies, I found it reassuring to see what others were doing or what they had done to pass.
Like my fellow bar blogger CalBarNone, I freaked out and deleted my blog several weeks after the exam. While I really enjoyed the community of bar bloggers, I found myself stressed by other people's negative experiences with the bar exam. I didn't want to become too jaded about the exam before getting my results. When studying, I also became paranoid that the time I spent blogging instead studying might be the difference between passing and not passing.
While my decision was a bit rash, I have no regrets given that I passed. Unlike CalBarNone, I did save my posts so I'm not starting from scratch. However, I'm certain that I lost my readership long ago. Oh well. I guess it's the price I had to pay to become a lawyer.
