So . . . I passed the Bar. I was just going to wait until late in the afternoon or early evening and then check the site. I refused to spend the day hitting the refresh button. So around 11 something a friend called to tell me that I had passed. My response: Oh Shit! I of course had to go to the site and see for myself. I had spent so much time bracing for not passing I don't think I really knew how to comprehend passing. I did have a couple moments of "Take that Prof. who said I wouldn't graduate law school, let alone pass the Bar! Take that doubters!! (conveniently glossing over the fact that I was myself a doubter. I guess it's like how you can call yourself fat, but woe unto anyone else to calls you fat.) Anyhoo.
Then I had a nice freak out. Things were mailed out the 20th and then due the 28th. Yeah, all that waiting and nothing then suddenly everything's due and now. Swearing in wasn't too exciting. Not much in the way of pretty photo ops.
So where am I now? Job hunting. I'm not confident or comfortable enough to go solo. I want to work for a small firm/ group. I want to be able to ask someone who has more experience if I need help. I want warm fuzzies and coddling. I know I'm not going to really get exactly that, but I'd like to get as close as I can.
I haven't a clue where or what with this whole search thing. The school's career center's a bit slow on the resume and good sites to hunt through. I signed up for one thing and all they did was keep trying to contact me to help me find a school to continue my education. I feel that I have enough education now to focus on paying off the debts incurred to get that education. Anyhoo. . .
Hopefully once I manage to wedge a toe in things will get easier/ clearer.
