Twitter: Bit of a Pop Over in Book Two: The Fifteenth Year of the Third Millennium of the Common Era

Not as productive a day as I would like… made breakfast for the wife before she hurried off to work, fed myself, paid bills, picked up dry cleaning, balanced some of our banking, wrote an e-mail and snail-mail letter to the photographer… but my list remains.... there is cleaning and laundry I wish to do; thank you notes left to write; exercise I should likely be getting… and ever the studying. I look at it, knowing I need to do it… knowing how important it is and how time consuming it is going to be… and I feel an apprehension. Not borne of fear, at least not fear of failure… I wonder if I fear succeeding? That perhaps my apprehension is borne from the fear that, once I pass the exam, I’ll have to start looking for work… force myself back in to the land of employment (a world that, especially for lawyers, has become much smaller and more competitive.) So, in truth, if the apprehension towards studying stems from a fear of passing the bar; the true fear is not the exam itself but the universe on the other side. Leave it to me to see an acorn and immediately imagine the size of the tree.
