rules rules rules

Due to the seriousness of the bar examination (there was a 30-page application form for goodness sake), there are several rules which we must follow. Some of my favorites include:

• If you're caught cheating you may face "ejection from the examination site." (I wonder if there is an eject button which, once pressed, sends your seat flying out of the exam site)
• No food or beverage is allowed unless you have a "medical condition" (I wish I were pregnant right now so that I could bring in a bottle of water and possibly some gum)
• They "request" that we come dressed business casual (um, considering the fact that we are facing 13 hours of the most grueling testing we will encounter in our lives, shouldn't we be allowed to wear whatever we feel comfortable in... like yoga pants or something)
• The only things allowed in the room are your photo i.d., laptop, and a couple of pens for the essay portion of the exam. On the 2nd day you can't even bring your own pencils for the multiple choice portion of the exam. (Ummm, if purses of any kind aren't allowed, and girls are in pants and/or skirts that likely don't have pockets, where are they supposed to put feminine products?)
• I guess they can go in the light jacket or sweater they allow you to bring which will be subject to searching by one of the proctors (though hopefully they won't throw the products away since they are technically not "approved" items)

Ok, so, um, all joking aside, I guess I'm really going to take this test tomorrow. Part of me can't believe that the day has finally come, and part of me still thinks this summer has gone by way too fast. I'm hoping for the best and just praying that I'll be able to remember enough to pass. And if you'd like to include me in your prayers for the next couple of days, I would definitely appreciate it.
