T'was the night before...

...the release of the MD July 2014 bar exam results when all through the town house ALL of the creatures (both humans and my dog) were stirring (thank goodness we don't have a mouse)! TEHEHEHE :-D

Although I am STILL resolved that all can and will be well with my soul, I'm still a little nervous. I've been perusing the internet to see if anyone has any tips/insight/advice. I found this blog (http://abovethelaw.com/2013/11/recent-bar-exam-results-open-threadmaryland-kind-of-texas-virginia-any-others/2/):

"And now for some rumors we’ve heard about Maryland. While the results are supposed to be released by the close of business today (@ 4:30 p.m.), numerous tipsters have informed us that there may be a glitch on the the State Board of Law Examiners’ website that will allow you to see whether you’ve passed the exam, before the results are even released. Could that be true? Here’s the scoop from one of our tipsters:

Basically, some people are thinking that the status of their online Petition to take the bar is currently indicative of whether you passed or failed. After sending the application prior to the July 2013 bar, there were green check marks next to your Petition (assuming you filled everything out correctly). If you still have a green check mark and the Petition portion of your online application still says (ORIGINAL), then the thought is that you are golden.

However, if there is now a red x and the Petition says (RETAKE), allegedly you’re effed. Those with red X’s have already been able to submit their Petition to Retake. Those with green check marks supposedly cannot."

Here is what my application page looked like at 11:14p:

 

Mind you, that blog I quoted above is over a year old. Perhaps, the MD SBLE fixed the error. *shrugs* Whether the "glitch" was addressed or not, I hope I'll be getting some good news tomorrow. I'll meditate on that and some other positive things as I attempt to get a good night's rest (I'm acting like I didn't work 12 hours today after only getting four hours of sleep last night and that I don't have to wake up at 5a to catch the bus at 6:10a to get to work for another full day). G'NITE!!!

(P.S. Here are some other blogs I found interesting: 

-I will be re-reading this blog if I do not pass: http://misssnarkymcsnarksalot.blogspot.com/2012/09/an-open-letter-to-those-who-failed-bar.html?m=1

-Because of this blog, I won't be posting whether or not I passed the bar on Facebook or Twiiter today (http://www.barexamsuperhero.com/blog/2013/09/10/Dealing-with-Results-Day.aspx ). Instead, I might just alter the following message the author posted to their Facebook page:

"Just an FYI: I will not be posting whether or not I passed the bar on Facebook. Reasons: A) Because if I didn't pass I don't want people do the fake "Awe, it's ok. Next time." I know most do not mean it and the rumors will start circling.  B) I don't want to post that I passed when others who tried their hardest may not have. I don't want to add to already hurt feelings. C) I'm realizing its no ones business if I passed or failed. The bar exam is hard and it takes a lot of personal willpower and strength just to sit for the exam. To announce my passing may make someone more upset and to announce my failure would allow others to turn me into gossip and make assumptions that maybe I didn't do something. So, in conclusion, if you really want to know if I passed or failed Monday, you can check the bars website or here's a thought: text/call me."

I'm going to add a request for people to wait to text or call me on Saturday, November 2nd. Come what may with the results, I'll probably need some time to myself to let the results settle in.)
