This is just the beginning of the stress. Until he gets the results, Fishfrog will have to make the daily choice of whether to (A) get on with his life; or (B) continue to study for the bar in case he has to take it again.
Either way, he's hosed. If he presumes he passed, he'll worry about not studying in case he has to do it again. If he keeps studying, he'll wonder whether he really passed and is busting his chops for nothing.
It is under those conditions that you will find something to do. Let me suggest that you enjoy the scenery while you can, because, as Leo observed, Fishfrog may soon be doing the law firm routine.
The only significant differences between today's big law firms and the sweatshops where all 4 of my grandparents had occasion to labor is that (A) lawyers sit in front of computer terminals and keyboards instead of sewing machines; and (B) the law firms have air conditioning. But they otherwise differ little from the sweatshops.
Best of luck, Fishfrog!
[And thank you, too, Nell, for sticking with him through all this.]

Fishfrog should read Harry Potter, and you should read the BarBri review books.
Drive with big brother from Alabama to Alaska. You know you want to. I hear Kansas is beautiful this time of year, or was that Oklahoma.
Don't worry, Fishfrog will soon be working 80 hour weeks. That should keep him occupied.
