In the final stretch...

Wow what an exhausting week it has been!!! But...unfortunately it's NOTHING compared to what I have in store in the upcoming final weeks of studying!!!

My 8 hour essay review class yesterday was a bit overwhelming with information...but hopefully i'll be able to put it into practice and get down his method. He says that we should be able to add at least 3 more points to our essays with his method..so I hope he's right...because it seems to be one of my weaker areas as of now.

The last Monday I basically have to study until I can't study any longer...i have to review all subjects, outlines and fine points PLUS roughly 10 hours of tests and essays. The Day before the exam and during the exam dates...i'm to do NOTHING...they say to watch cartoons or a movie haha.

So as you can see I'm going to be extremely overwhelmed and busy until this test is over...dont get offended if I dont call, or dont pick up...or pick up to talk for just a few minutes...i'm in the final stretch!!!

My exam , which is on Wednesday, July 28th and Thursday July 29th, is thankfully located less than 30 minutes from my apartment and I wont have to dish out extra money for a hotel. :) This is the schedule that the Board of Bar Examiners have provided us with:

Wed/Thurs: Arrival Time: 8:00am
Wed/Thurs: Morning instructions: Begin: 8:30am

I'm not allowed to bring my cell phone AT ALL...so i'll either call or text y'all with how my first day went and then how my last day went.

I told Julie...that we are having a beach day date the day after my exam...July 30th...i'll want to have a relaxing day catching some rays and not think about the exam! We dont get the results till the end of November.

I'm putting forth my BEST EFFORT for this exam...but some prayer would also be appreciated :) I'm thankful to have your support and love! This may be my last post until August...but dont forget to check up on me and send lil prayers my way! Lovings!
