It is Monday the 16th of February of the year 2015. I have scant few days left to prepare and I am driving myself quite mad. On the other hand, it has been wonderful to see such support. Both ...


It is almost too much to believe. I’ve put in 7 solid weeks of work to prepare for this exam. I will put in another solid week of work as well. But this is Sunday the 15th… as we often say abo...


Oh, the nightmares have come and they attack even in my waking state. It was easy to attack the Bar Issues subject by subject… but trying to tackle them properly, without knowing which subject i...


The ominous music lingering in the air… is it present because it is Friday the 13th or because there are only 10 days until the bar exam? It is weird to not have any substantial videos left. Oh,...


ELEVEN DAYS! Seriously?! I mean… I’m absolutely torn on this. On the one hand… holy crap, that is soon and this is a big deal. On the other hand… preparing for this has been an absolute beast...


Bloody hell. Granted, sleepy as I am/was… it was good to nod off after working so hard. But I’ve absolutely hit that point where any sleep now feels like a cost to getting more done, and a cost...


Editor’s Note: Actually fell asleep before hitting the SAVE button. So… here it is!) 13 Days Remaining. Day Start:I woke up at 6 am as scheduled, grabbed an apple, and my body promptly said- “Sc...


14 Days left. Home stretch. Partly so that I can look back and convince myself I didn’t slack off during the last two weeks of study… I’ll go back to sharing the study. I couldn’t sleep initial...


Growing up, I was always told how mature I was, how sensitive, and how adult like. Considering how out-of-place I felt as a child, I assumed that it was because I was already too much of an adul...


Just doing a quick pop in to keep my brain fresh. Watching lots of videos these last/next 48 or so hours. Watching videos, filling in the blanks, hoping it is a form of learning that works for ...


A Thursday… Thursday the 5th; which means two more Thursdays. Two more Thursdays pass by and TEST and then Thursday the 26th will be the first day of No Test, No Study. I woke up this morning ...


My dreams may think this whole Bar Study Experience is killing my sense of humor. I’ll share more on that very quickly! Today was… interesting? I had a meeting at my old Law School to get help...


It has been a day. lol Last night, worried that my insomnia would prevent me from being able to do my job as I was covering an AM shift, I got into bed around 10:00 pm. Happily, I drifted off to...


Everything, or almost everything, I write here I do so intending for it to be read, commented on, shared, or at least get people thinking. So… as much as I write for me, I do truly write for oth...


Cor, Blimey! This Bar Exam insomnia has really messed me up. I didn’t fall asleep until 5 am; slept until 10. So… five hours, sure. But… stack that up enough times? I just want to go back to ...


I don’t know what this means… whether it is good, bad, or a fluke… but I just took my Constitutional Law Bar Exam Check Point Quiz… the quiz designed to help determine strengths, weaknesses, and ...


After another night of struggling to sleep, I awoke to a freezing apartment and a foot of snow. The heater is broken, but not broken so much so that the office will repair it. Essentially, it i...


I started this entry at the beginning of February. I set for myself goals and requirements. If I had to significantly modify this entry before posting… then I knew I failed to accomplish that w...


My wife has this album, but that’s not why I place the song. I’ve not had alcohol for a week or two (may also explain the insomnia) but suddenly, out of nowhere, as I’ve been studying today… my...


It is 3am here. My alarm will go off to wake me in approximately two hours, at which time I will write a response to an Essay Exam, grab coffee, watch a 4 hour lecture, answer 66 more multiple c...
