Oh. My. God. I didn’t get to sleep until 9:18 am today! Like… I studied through the whole night, finished a lecture video, my laptop began to slow and have issues so I succumbed to sleep becaus...


Ufda… it was hard to get out of bed this morning. Since I’d added jogging back into my schedule, my body wants a healthy amount of sleep again. Add to that the fact that my wife has today off… ...


So… I just discovered that my Uncle and Godfather is now a regent at his old Alma Matter. Very cool for him… despite my envy, and I’m certain my father’s envy… I am always beyond thrilled to see...


As my mother would sing, “Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day.” Last night… may not have been smart for me to skip jogging in order to study more. Because I didn’t fall asleep u...


Oh… nightmare! Not literally… at least I hope not. But the last thing I did last night was a quick 32 question Contracts/Sales Bar Prep Quiz. Even without getting the results, the quiz pissed ...


In the middle of (it is looking to be a 10-15 hour) study day today I wanted to give a quick shout out to my friends and readers in the middle of the Snow Storm in the American NE. Stay safe, st...


6:32 am This morning, I woke up drenched in sweat and shivering. Could be a fever, could be a natural reaction to sleep temperature vs awake temperature. The good news is I was up around 6 so I...


A Very Sincere Question: But first some background. I’ve been doing the studying thing for a while now. Not enough, obviously, but I still have 30 days before the exam. But I’m in a teeeny bit...


Loads of studying today; likely to hit between 10 and 15 hours actually (helps that I started studying at 6:30 am today). Really getting some good progress on the videos… then it’ll be time to t...


Oooo these videos are becoming mind abusive. But the good news? The entire first 31 days of studying, I did 36 hours of studying. As opposed to this morning where I hit 36 hours just within the ...


Trouble sleeping, no surprise. So I am starting my Real Property Review videos super early. We’ll see how far into them I get before they put me to sleep. Good news is that if I can get throug...


Just stopping by to attempt to respond to notes. Keep pushing forward with bar study. And try to shake some dreams that keep coming after me. I’m starting to feel like a scene from one of my f...


I was going to write a quick hopeful thing here about Bar Exam Study… and then I realized it was the same crap I’ve been* saying and just haven’t followed through. SO**, with your permission, I’...


A departure from the regular. One of the reasons many people had hoped I would go to seminary is I have a tendency to do sermons well. A pinch of dramatic, a helping of hope, a slab of text, an...


So… my wife is a huge Anglo-Phile. I am too, to be honest. Every year we try to make sure we watch The Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Always a great time, always hilarious.... if I pass the bar, an...


Yesterday’s extended break was Video Games… hadn’t realized how long it’d been since I played… and as soon as I figured I should take a nap, my best friend called and wanted to play video games w...


Yesterday was quite the hard working day! So much so that, in my exhaustion and everything, I was tossing and turning all night! Bah! Time to see if I can make today just as hard working… poss...


Oh today is a day of hard work! And the wife has the day off… so the tense question… can I do all 12 hours of studying today even though the wife has the day off?! The “carrot” in this i...


Stupid cold weather. When I woke up today… the outside temperature was -6 F… the inside temperature (the room where I stay at my parents) was 60 F. VERY COLD. So, I chickened out and pulled the...


Entry Table of Contents (1) Greeting (2) Wasted Day (3) Good? News on Photography (4) The One With… (5) Study? Run? (6) Congratulations Green Bay! Me of the inconsistent follow through. I had a ...


Hoo boy. Talk about trying to buckle down! Bar Exam: 44 Days Current Hours: 36 Hours Studied Saturday… BEGIN 8:30 am… Finished Federal Civil Procedure Study with Pretrial Matters and General Mot...


::sigh:: Feeling a twinge of the ol’ existential crisis at the moment. I know I need down time, it’s bloody obvious that my brain can only take so much studying… but anytime I do less than 10 h...


Not as productive a day as I would like… made breakfast for the wife before she hurried off to work, fed myself, paid bills, picked up dry cleaning, balanced some of our banking, wrote an e-mail ...


Quick Entry & Apology Oh Heavens! I woke up at 5 am today and actually got immediately to studying! I took a break at about 8 am; then got back at around 11… I switched from Contracts to Re...


Checklist I started the day 8 days behind in Bar Exam Review. I woke up, not on time, but early enough to get some done… kid you not -13 F (-25C)… so I wrapped myself up in a big blanket and tro...
