Anxiety is running high Chez Grace as Portia prepares to “sit” for the Texas State Bar Exam tomorrow morning in Houston. The exam is a real endurance contest as it continues all day Wednesday and Thursday. As I have told her several times, the bar exam is not a sprint, but a marathon. And she's been studying with all the intensity that it requires.
Fortunately her fiancé, DK, is here to provide moral support. He actually begins orientation for his Phd program on Wednesday as well. Portia is pretty calm, all things considered.
Daddy "El Jefe", not so much. He worries that she needs an umbrella, and pencils...and maybe she should have a sleeping pill in case she gets too wound up to sleep (this is not historically a problem for her!). I think El Jefe needs the pill--a big CHILL PILL.
Some prayers wouldn't hurt, either.

I am sure that Portia will do just fine....prayers for her.
ReplyDeleteEven bigger prayers for Papa El Jefe!
I agree with Princess fo Everything!
ReplyDeletePrincess OF everything, not FO everything!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to one and all!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to Portia.
ReplyDeleteI'm having flashbacks to ords--another endurance test, albeit with less pressure.
My prayers go out to anyone taking the bar! Having sat for the three-day CA bar 7 years ago, I know how grueling it can be. May the Lord bless her efforts.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is an attorney, and with her sitting twice for a bar exam (in two states) I know well the anxiety. May God's peace rest with Portia and your whole family...
ReplyDeleteSo, does Sitting for the Bar lead to sitting at the bar when the exams are over?
ReplyDeleteHugs to Portia!
