"The difficult we do at once. The impossible takes a bit longer." Borrowing this motto from the Seabees, I embarked on studying "at once" after graduation for the bar examination, an examination of essays and multiple choice questions sometimes likened to a multi-day sporting event. I am pleased to report that the hard work and my clean lifestyle paid off. I passed the in-depth character investigation, the in-person interview conducted by a senior attorney, and the bar exam with a high-scoring MBE. Next, I have a mandatory class and the swearing-in ceremony, to be scheduled. The task of bringing justice to all the world's people will "take a bit longer" and will require much concerted effort, by lawyers and non-lawyers.
