i hate the mail

i've been doing my best all week to ignore the fact that this friday is "the day." [i just finished reading a book called "alas, babylon" where the characters use the term "the day" to refer to the day america was destroyed by nuclear bombs - i've adopted the term.]





but, its really hard to forget about what happens tomorrow when i'm constantly reminded of it. phone calls, emails, words of support from family and friends. but now, even the stupid mail is reminded me of bar results. all week i have been receiving mail from bar prep programs inviting me to join their bar prep classes for the july exam. apparently they're so sure i failed, they send the info out before results are released ;)





and the letters are great, they usually say something like "are you that idiot that failed the bar exam? if so, we have just the program for you!"





okay....not quite like that, but that's how they make me feel. they don't even acknowledge the chance that the reader may have passed.....they don't say something like "congratulations if you passed the exam! however, if you didn't, i'd like to take the time to tell you about our program..."





stupid bar programs and their stupid mail. i think i need to get a mailbox like this:




tomorrow is going to be a very long day. not much going on at work this week, so that will be slow. i'll probably leave early, go home, and get all good and drunk so that by the time i'm checking my score, i'm laughing regardless.

good luck to everyone! keep me updated.

out.
