One word: UGH

I am trudging through this. Slowly, but surely, the days will pass and I will find myself taking the dreaded exam. The only question is how to get my brain to function properly until then?

I feel like I never get enough sleep, I am always unfocused and I can't make myself absorb information right now. It's been like this for about a week. Ugh.

Hubs has me doing a quick review of stuff I got wrong during the day right before bed because, as he explained, your brain encodes all that information during sleep, so if it's the last thing you think about, you'll be more likely to encode it correctly. I hope that's true!

As it is now, I study at work then I get home and eat dinner, play a little Sims, study for an hour, get ready for bed and then review. All this productivity is kinda hard on the relaxing time! Lol.

It'll be over soon, though, right? I'll be happy that I worked so hard when I'm done. Right?

Same old, same old

Things don't change very much in Bar-study Land. I did a week each of Property, Contracts, and Evidence. Now I'm working on Crim. Things are going pretty well so far. I'm getting 80% of Multiple Choice correct so far.

The biggest challenge right now is the running-out-of-steam problem. I'm not quite to the one-month mark, so I'm stuck between "all the time in the world" and "last ditch effort". I need to renew the vigor somehow! But how?

Life is unendingly busy. I find myself saying "I can't do anything social" just to turn around and say "let's get together next week!" I can't do it all, but feel guilty not doing anything. Part of this has to do with my better half-- Hubs is on break from school, so he is home all day. That makes for a stir-crazy hubby. I feel like I have to help him get out of the house. I need to get better at sending him out into the world on his own for the next few weeks.

So, a plan is forming in my tired noggin-- Send Hubs out to play alone so I can get some study done at home. Go ahead and have a crazy fun time on my birthday, but reign in other social commitments.

I'm getting so close to actually doing this thing. I'm actually quite proud of myself for getting this far! I've really stuck with it. Hopefully, I've also done a good enough job to actually pass!
