I review every day for about an hour before doing 66 MC's (another hour or so). Then, I have to review which takes another hour or two (depending on how poorly I did). The essays take a little over an hour total. Then reviewing the essays takes another hour or so. Then I review the approach recommended and write a checklist which takes about two hours. So, that's about 7-8 hours of work. Of course, I have to add in prep time for everything (getting papers in order, printing, organizing flashcards, etc).
My mood is variable and changes with each right/wrong answer. I've had some really yucky essays-- on one I completely messed up. I wrote about contract remedies when I should have been writing about tort remedies! Woops! My whole essay ended up sounding like, "Well, this element will fail because... And this element will fail because..." Dumb.
I'm about to do Evidence essays right now. The Evidence MCs went really well today. I got an average of 70%-- but there was one section that I just aced! Of course, that made me feel pretty good. I worry about essays, though.
Just so you get an idea of how I'm doing-- I haven't showered in 2 days (I should do that) and I stopped wearing makeup (I don't go anywhere anyway). I'm running out of hair ties because I have my hair in a pony tail all the time and the hair ties are loosing elasticity. What else? My desk is the usual metropolis of Diet Coke bottles and cups. I did go grocery shopping today, so that was a step towards normalcy. But usually, I don't know what day it is or how long I've been working on any given task.
And soon (too soon!) it will be all over. I can't wait to veg out!!!
There's a scene from the Simpsons that seems pertinent here. Grandpa asks Bart if he wants to learn something new and Bart responds (looking self-satisfied): "Nah. I know enough."
