Didn't I just say that as excited as we were about getting the news about Ben's ethics exam that we REALLY were waiting for news about the bar exam? Well......it came in the mail yesterday! We had been told when he took the exam that it would take 8-10 weeks to get the scores, so we really expected that it would be AT LEAST the 20th of September, and more likely sometime in October, before we heard anything. What a shock to get that white envelope in the mail with the return office of "Utah State Bar" on it! Ben made me open it ( he said he couldn't handle any more pressure)...and the results are.....................................
HE PASSED!!!!!!
Of course, no one really doubted that he would (except maybe Ben himself), but how great to see it in black and white! The bar exam has a total of 400 points, of which you need 270 to pass. My outstanding husband blew it away with a 296. The score itself doesn't really matter, there's no incentives for getting a higher score and all the law firms care about is that you pass it. Of course being the over-achiever that he is, his first comment was "That's still below a 75%. Who cares?!? Obviously not the state bar office!
So it's finally over. All the work, sweat, and tears of the last 4 years concluded on September 13, 2008. A little bittersweet....but mostly just very exciting! What a week! My birthday on Thursday, Kassie's on Friday, and this big news on Saturday. Kind of makes me wonder what's coming up this week...
