If you try and sign up and it won't let you, is that a sign that you passed? Or is that an old wive's tale?

I'm drinking Guinness right now. Cocktail might be a good idea.

I'm hoping it is given how quickly we need to apply for round 2 in order to not pay your rent in application fees but the pessimist and glass half empty person inside me when it comes to anything law related says I'm just losing my shit and it means nothing.

For me, it just says "Your application has been submitted and is not available for viewing at this time." Is that what you got?

Well, I am guessing it is two discrete steps: release results and release peoples' accounts for reapplication. Would the bar want to do one before the other? I suppose they leave the office before 5. If results are released at 4, then maybe they want to do the latter before the former, so that they do not stay late on a Friday.

Of course, we could be way off base and maybe both are done at the same time with two mouse clicks.

Haha, easily.

Today, all I have done is update my resume with "sat for" to "passed." Converted to .PDF. And am just sitting here waiting to click print.

I keep on thinking "wait, what if you, like, failed."

Dammmmm.

Second Guinness now.

Do we know what URL we are supposed to be checking?

I have the PA Court's twitter feed open. I hear that an announcement was posted in some previous year there when results were released.

I was at the beer store and just saw a six pack of these: http://cdn.beeradvocate.com/im/beers/134343.jpg.

I'm hoping that's a good sign, so I bought it. Now I wait...

Oh my God. That's a sign. Shit.

Wait. I was at the beer store LAST NIGHT and did NOT see those beers.

I am fucked. An hero in 3, 2, . . .

Haha. I look at the screen and see "2:31 P.M.? WTF is this shit?"

I have lost all conception of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It will be an eternity.

Does not matter. It's skewed. All that matters is first time pass rate, but even that is too broad.

I don't feel strong with all the news articles about lowered pass rates across the country. although my school did really well last year.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
