A-HA Moment

I awoke at 2:15 this morning in a cold sweat. Obviously some test anxiety going on there. I know it is a precursor of what is to come over the next 4 years as I embark on law school and the bar exam. But, much like the marathon, getting there is the hardest part. I realized that one of the things I am doing differently on my practice tests is attempting to digest each word of the question. I am circling words and underlining, sometimes almost entire passages. I think that I am over analyzing and getting caught up in the minutia of it all. So tonight, back to the old strategy - read through carefully and go with my gut on the answer. Stop trying to over-think it. We'll see where that takes me. Thankfully I have 4 more days to perfect my test strategy so that I can go in on Monday confident of my abilities.

Oh yeah, I got a postcard yesterday from John Marshall SOL in Atlanta. It was my first piece of snail mail (have emails from Charlotte and Stetson, both on my list). I've seen John Marshall when we run the Sprint for Cancer and don't care to be in that part of Atlanta, but the postcard made me oddly excited. It's all becoming very, very real.
