Well hello there!
So this week’s Thursday Thoughts thoughts are going to be a little shorter than usual because I really just have one thing on my mind…
Tuesday morning, after getting off my volunteering shift at a legal aid help desk downtown, I checked my email…
I logged into my IL Bar account…
and I read this:
I PASSED THE BAR EXAM!!!!!
(Source)
There were tears.
There were phone calls.
There was dancing.
All in the Daley Center Plaza during lunch hour (quite a crowd).
I probably looked like an insane person but I was okay with that. I had a great time celebrating with friends all day/evening Tuesday, then I had some much needed downtime, Target shopping and frozen yogurt on Wednesday, and now, without that anxiety weighing on me anymore, I’m even more ready to dig into my job search.
This is a good week.
CONGRATS!! That is so awesome!!!
