Hypothetical I think about when I can't sleep at night- How much would you pay for points added to your score? I'd probably pay $100/point and throw down $3000 to boost my score 30 points just to be safe

I never thought I'd see the day where Papa Bear O'Reilly would pay to beat a meritocratic system.

White privilege run amok

How much you would pay per point to raise your score right now vs. how much you would pay to raise it if you find out this week that you failed? What's the ratio?

Right now. Preemptive measure

How much more will the bank let me borrow?

Unfortunately, that may be the right answer.

What we really need is a Price is Right showcase format... you guess your scores, and it's the closet to it without going over. That'd be some serious time for introspection.

That would be awesome.

Right.

When results are released, are yall going to do CTRL+F to find your name, or examinee number (I still remember mine), or just scroll down to see if you're there?

CNTRL+F+OH SHIT (either way).

I'm scrolling because I had a very vivid dream where I CTRL + F and didn't find my name.

I'm going to click on the link at the top of the page for the appropriate letter, and scroll for my name. I'm afraid that if I try to ctrl + F I'll get nervous, misspell my own name, and then have a stroke when it doesn't come up.

Nope, I'm scrolling. No way I leave this to a CTRL + F.

I think mine will be visible without scrolling down, which is convenient for finding my name quickly but quite embarrassing that everyone I know will notice very quickly if it isn't there.

[ebo]

I feel like scrolling past your own name would be more traumatizing than CTRL+F and seeing the red box where the text isn't found. Maybe that's just me though

ETA: anyone else having trouble focusing or getting productive things done at work?

[B[iz]ar[re]Exam]

It's quite literally the longest week of my life. I feel like a lunatic. All I do is the check the site, and wildly speculate with friends about the release date. I almost exploded with fear/anticipation at the title of that e-mail Friday...only to be told how to wait more efficiently.

[TxBarTaker09]

I've always scrolled, my name is easier to find than some others. Wildly speculating is pointless I assure, expect Wednesday at the earliest, I would be flat out shocked if they came tomorrow.

[Leira7905]

ETA: anyone else having trouble focusing or getting productive things done at work?

Yep. I try to make sure I do enough work not to be a complete waste of space. But, it's really hard to focus. Luckily my boss has been understanding of the ridiculous amount of pressure I'm under this close to grade release.

I'm sitting 2nd chair in a trial and just hitting refresh a lot. My boss says it's cool.

[notthatgirl14]

One of the ADAs I work with offered me their Bench trial on Wednesday...

I really didn't think that was in the best interest of justice...or my sanity.

I can't believe we find out TOMORROW.

Since we are all going to pass (positive thinking), what are yalls plans for celebrating?

I figure it's better to plan for happy things than wallow in bad possibilities.

Smoke one of the Cuban cigars I got in Spain last year.

Also, theoretically, the site should be going live sometime today, right?
