Today was the first day that I have actually felt productive with respect to bar preparation. I spent a full 11 hours doing nothing but bar prep, from watching the four hour lecture with only my designated breaks, doing the practice questions, reviewing the material from the lecture and preparing for tomorrow. I have to say, I'm feeling rather good about today's work right about now - and the preparation and review definitely helped with the review questions. I spent my break between the morning and afternoon session going for a walk to help clear my head, and it really did the trick. By the time I got back for the afternoon session, I was ready to go and not dragging my feet like I have been over the last few days.
I do know that I need more days like today. I have to get ahead of the game to make up for the time I am going to lose when I move and if I can stay on track, I will be right where I need to be in order to make a smooth transition from here to there.
I do hope the material from today will remain and not ooze out of my ears while I sleep - I have a checkpoint quiz tomorrow (well, later today given the time right now) and I do hope I am able to actively retain some of this information. I've started reciting the mnemonics provided to remember the specific elements and that has helped quite dramatically. I do, however, have a concern regarding the essay portions for some subjects because it is just so much information. Maybe I will feel differently about it in a month - ask me again, and we shall see how much has changed about my fear of information overload.
