The Move and aftermath

Well, my Internet service was shut off on the 21st, and I proceeded to finish getting everything packed up - and this meant no bar review during this time. On Tuesday I did not review anything because I had to pick up my rental truck and load it up. Wednesday was the day I hit the road - and it was early when I hit the road. While I did take some books with me in the cab of the truck not once did I have the chance to look at them. When I wasn't driving I was beat and had a hard time staying awake let alone read bar material. After 29 hours on the road, which included a nap at a rest stop in Kansas, I made it on Thursday the 24th.

After arriving I spent the day unloading and the night trying to assemble and unpack so that when my internet service was back up on the 25th I could just pick up where I left off. Oh well, that was the plan.

My new service was up and running by 10am on Friday, but you know - I still had errands to run before I could get into studying - like getting groceries and basic essentials. I spent the remainder of the day carrying out these tasks, trips to the grocery store and Walmart to get what I needed and then after I got back to my apartment, I had to finish getting everything put into its place. Friday was gone before I knew it and not a single piece of bar review was touched.

On Saturday I figured I would be able to start up and get caught up, but this simply wasn't the case. On Saturday, see now that I had cable and hadn't watched tv in over three years, my weekend was caught up in a rash of tv. Bad news, bad choice, but you know what I felt better after relaxing for the weekend.

On Monday the 28th I finally started back in on the bar review. I finished up my con law lectures but still had a ton of review work that I had to get done before I could take the midterm. I was having a hard time trying to get my brain wrapped back around the material and the lectures weren't helping me out one bit. I started working on the material and found that I'd forgotten most of what I'd been studying for the past four weeks. Oh dear, this is not good news.
