I know what to expect and I know what my mistakes were (well, suspect) The main concerns right now are my character and fitness hearing, and actually paying for the bar. I haven't heard back from my hearing yet, but I just don't have a good feeling about it. There were four board members, one seemed to support me, one didn't, and the other two just gave me looks of compassionate pity at the end; which is not really affirming. I'm just going to assume they are going to vote against me and that I will need to appeal the decision. Secondly, I'm not sure how I will pay for the bar this time. MO is one of the more expensive states, and the regular deadline is in two weeks; the late deadline is just a month after that. My family cannot come up with the amount within that time, so I'm going to try something completely unconventional and start a Gofundme account. I don't know if it will work, but it's the only thing I can think of right now. I've also come to the conclusion that life can't wait anymore. I put large portions of my life on hold during the last few years for law school, and put everything on hold for the bar, MPRE and this hearing. I can't keep putting off life until after I pass the bar (just in case that never happens), I'll go nuts. So I'm going to start jujitsu again, I'm going to start writing again, get serious about fitness and get serious about the job search (which will be interesting since I don't have my licensee). But, I'm done waiting for the right time, or for things to happen. Overall, failing the bar and MPRE was not the news I wanted to hear, but at least it's news I can work with. 1 Quote Level 20 Ranger Monk Str- 18, Dex-12, Sta-10, Con-23, Wis-88, Cha-47 "Not all who wander are lost."

ladylydia Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Oh good, a second bar application is fraction of the cost of the first time, so I will be able to afford it.

ladylydia Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 not dead, 3 miles yesterday and also the day before that. we've been sorting through a lot of stuff of my late grandmothers; my mom has had a lot doctor appointments lately and that's thrown off the daily schedules a bit. my energy has been really low too. I know I'm dehydrated and I suspect I'm not getting enough iron. I'm going to focus for the next few days on upping water and protein and then see how I feel.

ladylydia Posted September 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 just three rounds of the following, no time limit or rep goal, just went until my form fell apart. squats: 25, 20, 30 push ups: 8,8,10 dive bombers: 7,8,8, ab raises: 20, 20, 20 protein-3, veg-3, fruit-4, dairy-5, carb-5 water-4 It's really hard not to be super frustrated that I can't pump out reps like I could back in April. I keep trying to keep perspective that I've basically been sedentary during bar prep and waiting for results; but it's hard not to be upset about how far my endurance has fallen.

ladylydia Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've decided, at least for now, not to do one. The fees to retake the bar turned out to be a third of the original price so I was able to get that covered I have yet to hear back about my character and fitness determination, so I don't know if it will require an appeal or not; that's what I won't be able to currently afford. For the moment, I'm putting in applications left and right hoping that I can get a job before I get the C &F results, (I'm going to need one anyway for life and stuff). Things are slowly working out, so the gofundme is on hold until I can determine if I actually need it.

ladylydia Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I know, I know, I've been super quiet lately. Last Friday I went to an alumni thing and wore heels which left me just covered in blisters. I can't wear anything but sandals, which I can't work out in. I've thought about doing stuff around home (barefoot) but motivation has been difficult lately. Hope to have something substantial today.

Sloth the Enduring Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I've been meaning to ask you; when you say "3 miles" is that an additional walk on top of your normal walking around miles or a fitbit total for the day? With so much uncertainty in your life, it makes sense that motivation is hard. I hope things improve for you.

Raxie Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 What is a weighted lumbar lift? I googled it and I'm not sure I can tell what it is exactly.
