And I’m as ready as I’m gonna be. As much as some of you guys don’t like my views, I appreciate all of the debates throughout the years as it has opened my eyes to the otherwise and made me understand where you come from. Not agree with you, but I see where you come from. 🙂

Ready to have a good strong drink and get up early in the morning. Thanks again for everyone here on the Dope.

All the best to you. It’s a gruelling experience (I did it, twice) and one you won’t forget, no matter what.

Good luck. It’s probably a lot easier than you’ve prepared for (unless it’s California). I’ll have to be going through this whole… process again in February m’self.

Let’s talk about him/her while the exam is going on. I don’t think jtgain is nearly as annoying as he/she seems to think he/she is.

I’m just not placing **jtgain**. Maybe s/he is annoying, maybe not. The test is thus:

**jtgain** , during your break between the morning and afternoon session, did you:  
a) have a smoke, nap, bite to eat…  
b) bury your nose in a book… or  
c) quiz all of your classmates on what they put for number 11, tell them why what they put was wrong and what you put was right, and basically remind everyone what the best answer for number 11 truly was?

If your answer was c), then congrats… you remind me of all the other arrogant asses I went to law school with. 😃

Heh…we had that guy when I took the bar exam. Oddly enough, I did not see him among the considerably smaller group at the swearing in ceremony…

_Bonne chance!_ I’ve no doubt you’ll do fine. But I do hope that maybe you skipped the Bar Exam Eve nightcap. 😉

Fully concur with my learned friend. I may not always agree with **jtgain’s** posts, but I enjoy reading them.
