WE are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams.

I'm still in shock ... no tears, just deep relief alloyed with jolts of happiness. To mangle a verse of Edgar Allan Poe,

Thank Heaven! the crisis —
The danger, is past,
And the lingering illness (read: BAR RESULTS ANXIETY SYNDROME),
Is over at last M,
And the fever called “Living” (THE BAR EXAMS)
Is conquered at last.

Thank you, God. Thank you very, very much.

And to those who were there for me during the whole taking and waiting affair,
I thank you for your voices: thank you:
Your most sweet voices.
