Well, it's finally done. The beast and bear I've been dreading for three years is over. Let's hope I passed!!! rather not do it again if I can help it!

Although now I don't know what to do with myself. Next to job hunting, I feel like I am supposed to still be studying...? So confused. XD I hope this means I can get back into sewing with gusto! I have lots to get done.

It sounds like this is the perfect moment for a (sewing?) break to clear your head.

Congratulations! How long will you have to wait for the results?

I think you have definitely earned a sewing break -- after I've been through a particularly stressful or draining event (business sewing to a tight deadline, time-consuming family drama, etc.), I set aside me-time and do nothing but personal sewing. So give yourself that "sewing holiday" from now until Monday (if that is a possibility) and completely immerse yourself in your sewing passion.

Keep us posted on what project(s) you decide to pursue

Congratulations! That's a huge achievement!

Having just graduated from grad school myself, I understand that feeling of, wait, shouldn't I be studying? I say enjoy your free time and summer vacation before diving fully into the job hunt

You are entitled to sit by the pool and read, or even stare at the walls. Studying for and taking the bar IS a bear.

Congratulations! You have done something amazing, worked really hard, and it is a great accomplishment. And good luck to you, in finding the job you want. What kind of law will you be in?

I agree with idea of just getting something fun done, that you have been wanting to do while you have been studying so hard.

Hurray hanpanda! After all that cerebral stuff you need tactile, soft, beautiful, fiber therapy. Buy something delicious (if Kaplan hasn't drained you dry) and just drape it around yourself.

And bingewatch something hilarious.

If anyone tries to start a conversation about dependent relevant revocation, knock them down. No one will blame you.

Congrats! Do you have to take any other state specific ones? I know my sister had to take both Missouri and Kansas.

Good luck finding a job.
