Time flies…

Here it is, almost Christmas.  I’m done with law school and awaiting graduation.  It’s all rather surreal.  I’m still waiting for things to slow down so it can really sink in.  My life has been school and work and studying and working and squeezing everything into a short amount of time.  And now.  It’s just. I don’t know.  There are no classes, there are first week assignments, there are no pending exams.

At least not for law school.

I’m freaking out a bit about the fact that I haven’t really started studying for the bar like I’d planned.  It was a good plan too.  December 12th I was going to start with the early schedule, read my KaplanPMBR stuff, listen to some lectures from the law school, even read the 1st week of assignments from BarBri.

From that plan.  I’ve done nada.  Well, that’s not entirely true.  I did start listening to one lecture on Contracts.  And then got convinced that playing Uno with the fam would be much more fun.  Or maybe it was baking cookies.  Honestly, I have no idea how I thought I was going to get an early studying done with the holidays and my desire to spend as much time as possible with the family.

Plus I’ve had to get my study area prepared.  I got that done today.  For the most part.  I need to have Mr. Incredible hang some shelves in my little corner so that I can have a place for my beverages, hi-liters, pens, notecards, etc.  I put pictures up on the desk today.  It’s almost ready.  Come next Monday, that’s where I’ll be spending a vast majority of my time.

Time to finish watching MNF…another thing taking up precious study time…FOOTBALL!  Go Pack Go!

 

Glimpse of the future…

I’m taking a bar prep course this term.  Apparently the school has worked out an agreement with BarBri and are able to offer a course that reflects their bar review course.  That’s fine and dandy except two things.  One, essentially, I’m paying for BarBri twice.  And at the rate of per credit hour tuition, I’m not getting a discount on a lesser version of their course, in fact, I do believe I’m actually paying more for this course.  Number two issue…I may die of boredom.  Seriously, fill-ins.  Granted I took the MPRE Review with them and passed (hooray), but I’m really not sure how I’m going to do with this whole thing.  

Video prof + fill-in-the-blank x too many hours to count right now = sleepytime in my world!

On the upside of all this…I’m finding that I remember more about Real Property than I thought possible!  Yay me.

Other upside…notecards/outlines for 3 courses will be predominantly done by the time I begin BarBri.

I need more upsides.
