I’m real excited for next week. I’m fairly certain that when I wake up on Wednesday morning I’m going to be bouncing off the walls. Because I hate essay exams. And I don’t really mind multiple choice. I am most successful with multiple choice exams if I get into a rhythm and don’t think too hard but stay focused. And when I’m in a rhythm like that the time flies by. The more adrenaline I have, the more focused I will stay. So I’m planning on allowing myself to be as excited as I want to be on Wednesday morning.
Because excitement and fear are the same sort of feeling. I’m not scared. But I know that if I let myself – when I finally received the bar exam and was holding it in my hot little hands that I could very well panic with fear . But I won’t. Know why? Cause I am planning on being so excited about that fact that it is Wednesday, July 26th, 2006, that any momentary fear will be swallowed up in my excitement and I won’t even notice it.
I know you think I’m crazy. I’m not. I’ve been dealing with fear my whole life this way. It is really a great trick. When I am excited – I’m alert, awake, and ready for the task at hand. Excitement is a very useful mental state. So get excited. All this studying is almost over.
