Hola! So, it is bar exams months once again. Hurray for those taking the bar this year 2016! I salute you guys. As for me, no, I'm not one of the barristers yet. I just hurdled a beauty pageant, thank you.
Kidding aside, the bar exams is a baptism of hellfire, and I am not ready to take it this year. I would often tell myself that I would need to have a million in my bank account first before I take the bar. Why?
Seriously, taking the bar is no laughing matter. It requires preparedness in mind, heart, soul and body altogether. Anything less will just not do. For me, I need serious breaks, my goodness what will happen if you breakdown due to too much stress. I have a high level of stress tolerance mind-wise but my physical state might betray me.
I am talking about falling hair, major skin breakouts, patchy skin, delayed periods and all kinds of unimaginable physically-damaging horrors that would make me run to the nearest spa in no time! Also, since I will stay in some 3-star hotel for four full weekends, most probably my bill for room service, massages, spa, etc, will rack up to tens of thou!
In addition, I need to literally live in Starbucks for the 4 months or drink coffee intravenously because that's the best way for my brain to work. With the toil of cramming those last-minute bar tips, some serious R&R is in order.
A budget for some weekend escapade to a remote paradise beach when the going gets too tough for my fragile brain. Then I need to have lots of moolahs for a night out or party with the gang after completing the 1 month bar exams. I have to celebrate being alive after 4 weekends of the grueling, life-changing exam of my life, right?
Finally, think about the following 4 months of waiting for the results. That would take another million to survive I guess. Now you know why my condition to have at least a million free to spend whenever I please. When I take the bar, you can bet I already have a million tucked somewhere. I'm just kidding.
Best of luck to you guys!
