EXCITEMENT

WELL friends. the day we've all been waiting for the past 12+ years.. frm the day I argued about the constitutionality of the death penalty in 8th grade at age 14 to a bitter 26yr old....

I PASSED THE NORTH CAROLINA BAR EXAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MANISHA P. PATEL, ESQ.

This is how I feel right now:

annnnnnd

annnd

and finally:

The past 14 months have definitely been beyond miserable and there were so many times I just wanted to quit and find a new career or do the traditional indian thing or go back to school to avoid 'real' life...but I know that I did the right thing and stuck with it no matter how many times I wanted to give up.  This past June more than anything, I j wanted to quit but I know my Baa (grandma) would be proud of me that I never ever gave up on my dream no matter what happened.  I'm j sad that I can't share this news with her...the first person I would have called today....


I think tonight will be the first time in at least 4 years I will sleep truly stress free...but thats still not going to stop me frm having benadryl induced sleep though:)


Thanks to all my friends, sisters, and my family that listened to me complain abt life and law school, and the bar exam over the past 4 years! I honestly would not be mentally stable (relatively...haha) without their love and support while I was caught up in all this crazieness.



annnnd now, it's time for a dance party!

LOVE MPP


ps. sorority sister Lisa came to visit this past wkend.  We had a delightful time w adult capri suns, outlet shopping, and she helped to keep me distracted from stalking the mailman! Can't wait for another fun weekend!!!! LIEP
