THE FIRST DAY OF THE MOTHAFUCKIN BAR EXAM IS FINISHED!
And it wasn't even that bad!
But I'm anticipating tomorrow to be the worse...

Oh, before I forget, some tips for the future Bar takers:
1. Screw essay predictions. The predictions were off. People were so sure there would be no Contracts at all, and probably no Torts, and if Torts, then defamation. There was indeed Torts, AND there was a Contracts question for the fifth exam in a row. Just be prepared for anything and everything.
2. Stay in a hotel. I thought it was a little overboard, especially since my apartment is just twenty minutes away, but it does put your mind at ease a little bit to be right around the block. If you take it in Sac, the Vagabond Inn is a good place. It's cheap, has free breakfast, had vacancies even two weeks before surprisingly (that's when I booked), and is literally a block away. I think I'll just walk there tomorrow instead of pay the 7 damn bucks for parking. I could use that for lunch instead. Speaking of which...
3. There isn't a whole lot of time for lunch. By the time the fuckers get done with the announcements, you don't start until almost 9:15, and by the time all the exams get picked up, you don't break for lunch until like 12:40, and then you're supposed to be back in your seat by 1:45. At least tomorrow isn't laptoppage, so there should be more time to go out and grab something... but the parking lot gets crazy with all those peeps.
4. Be prepared for the worst with respect to ExamSoft, if you plan to type. I know a couple of people whose software failed them. I haven't practiced hand-writing the exams at all, but I guess it's a good idea. :X
