harbl encouragement thread

anyway i think i'm gonna pass. multiple choice all day tomorrow, which is hard, but more studying won't help. i don't know what to do with myself!

i keep thinking of what other stuff i did wrong. it's so hard not to ugh

i think you should go out to a movie. good distraction.
way to go!!

there doesn't seem to be anything i want to see. maybe i'll start a new book. had to bring both of my books back before they were done :(

i will probably just sit here and waste time on the internet

harbl! i'm glad you got through day 1.

yes! thank you estrella.

GOOD JOB!!!! You made through the first ever day of this special kind of hell. (xpost)

Is there a small animal nearby you can play with? Rolling around on the floor playing with one can be excellent.

yeah i can play with the cat but she sleeps from 8 am to 9 pm mostly. now i am watching her sleep half on her back with her legs spread open and in the air. yesterday when i was laying on my back reading flashcards out loud she would jump up on the bed with a chirp and lay down on my stomach. lol cats.

one thing i was amazed at was the number of people who didn't come back for the afternoon session! there were a number of empty seats. that must feel bad.

maybe your fruit flies will be up for a game.

ha that reminds me it's garbage day thanks

a good thing to consider about all those empty seats this afternoon is that those who complete the exam must have a much higher pass rate than the statistics indicate.

yeah, the scores are also adjusted so anyone that shows up and gets only a few points is bringing down the mean score, which is good (for me)

you are the only person in that exam room we care about.

you guys shoulda seen how many people in the room though! it's in a convention center "expo hall" so if you imagine an "expo" of your choice, it's the room without the boat 'n' rv show exhibits and just rows and rows of tables w/ 2 people at each. about 2/3 of the room is for laptop people, the rest for handwriters. it must have looked so strange to a normal person, or maybe if an alien came and this is the first thing it saw.

they have those downstairs below my work and it's always CPA tests. one time there were a bunch of girls out front waiting for the test to get over, holding signs to congratulate their boyfriends. my favorite sign said THE SUMMER OF OUR LIVES STARTS NOW

tell us about the proctors

i hope someone shows up tomorrow holding a sign for me! xp

proctors were late-middle aged black people without exception

that's all i know about them

maybe employees of the state board of law examiners? or some other state agency or the courts

i used to proctor tests, however i was neither late, nor middle aged, nor black, nor an employee of the state board.

i was just a person picking up an extra 50 - 75 bux on a saturday morning.

did u ever catch anyone cheating?

hmm possibly. maybe some retired people then. i just assumed they would make all their secretaries come in and proctor.

no but i heard some girls talking about it on the way out how some kid kept writing after they said stop. that definitely reflects poorly on his trustworthiness, honesty, and fitness to be a lawyer.

scandalous!

yeah, once. don't remember the details, i just passed it along to the proctor boss. not veey exciting.

i gave the cat some whisker lickin's treats as an apology for leaving her alone all day and the back of the bag says

There's a Scrumptious Variety For Every Mood!

When you curl up with your cat, something truly special happens. Make the most of the moment by giving a treat so delectable, so savory, your cat won't want the moment to end.

what kind of present do i buy myself after i complete this life obstacle

give us a shortlist.

bottle of alcohol

we have an answer

what does jergins recommend

im so proud of you harbl cant wait for you to be a lawyer

thanks max max max max, that really means a lot to me

pretty soon you will be a lawyer and i will be unemployed what do you think of that

well fortunately for me even if i'm unemployed i'll still be able to call myself a lawyer as long as i don't engage in any conduct that reflects poorly on my trustworthiness, honesty, and fitness

i think you should look into dentistry so you can be more like my new hero, russian-american lawyer/dentist/real estate agent and keen investigator into the provenance of barack obamas birth certificate orly taitz

will you be changing your login to harbl, esq.?

real estate agents possibly the worst people?

lol no xp

xp but dentists have the worst jobs

possibly. i wouldn't want to be one that cleans teeth but i think i could be an oral surgeon. i like to solve problems!

harbi what time do you finish tomorrow?
