I don’t know where it started to go wrong. I was feeling so positive and enthusiastic about the whole thing. I was determined that I could take on the bar with a lot of hard work, determination, and hours of studying. I just needed to take it one step at a time, follow the study schedule to the best of my ability and I would be fine.
That totally fell apart this weekend. I’m now totally convinced that I’m going to fail miserably. My study habits haven’t changed, nothing has really been drastically altered but I’m suddenly a nervous mess. I wish I could go back and retrieve my calm, cool and collected attitude, but I think it is at the bottom of the ocean swimming with the fishes.
I have 7 weeks left. Somewhere deep inside my head, I know I’ll be fine but it’s awfully difficult to keep telling myself that. I know that everyone reaches this point of panic and I know this is not my last freak-out about the bar so I’m trying to just keep on going in spite of feeling so uncertain.

You’re not alone. No matter how much you study or how well you follow the guide, you will still panic and convince yourself you’re going to fail. YOU WON’T. I liked reading the reports and statistics compiled by the Board of Law Examiners on who fails the bar and why. Trust me, you are safe. You are a Caucasian female from SMU who is not working during BarBri. GOLDEN.
