There are some days that I think that the universe is playing a cruel joke on me. Today was not one of those days. After much anxiety and agony, I am going to put off the UBE once again but it seems to be the right decision.
- I panicked when they had a huge snow storm in the Mid-Atlantic States and New England. I pictured being stuck and unable to drive the 6 hours to the testing center.
- I panicked when my MBE scores decreased to the normal range between 50-65%. Had to call several people to ask them about their own bar studying experiences. I was testing between 65-85% depending on the subject.
- I panicked when I realized that the UBE weighs the essays more heavily than the other bar exams.
- I almost had a nervous breakdown when I started studying for Evidence and realizing that I have not looked at this material in 4 years.
- I ignored the emails that the booking agent sent telling me to call them about a scheduled flight change because I thought it was about a trip that I had cancelled. I finally called them back and realized they were emailing and texting because my flight from China to the US was being altered.
- Had I actually not postponed the bar exam until this July, I would have had to deal with the jetlag between China and the US, and losing 5 study days due to travel. The booking agent was calling to inform me that my flight to the US was going to be split into a two day travel session which means I would lose three days with the change in time. On top of that I was going to lose two days on the way back to China. The booking agent actually gave me a full refund because of the changes and inconvienience. I was shocked.
This is the first time I am not going to ask the universe Y Wong but just accept that I was not meant to take the UBE. I am also going to continue to study for the bar a few hours a day and write my papers like I was originally suppose to.
Current Mood: Relaxed and Happy
