At lunch I was talking with my boss* about the bar exam.
I realized it was the first conversation I've ever really had about ME taking the bar exam. Sure, I've had a few where it's been some sort of far-off hypothetical "oh yeah, I guess I'll take the bar someday," but this was the first where it was discussed as a certainty, as in a "this time next year" you WILL be studying for the bar.
Anyway, my boss imparted me with some advice: don't get pregnant before the bar. Apparently she did, and suffered greatly during the preparation and actual exam taking. Of course, she DID pass, so perhaps I should take this advice with a grain of salt...
* = I actually have two bosses. This conversation was with the one who's a woman.
