Accountability

My new study schedule begins this week toward the long path to the Illinois Bar exam.  My plans are as follows:

1. Do 100 MBE's per week, 25 per day for 5-days, with weekends off for good measure.  Journal those MBE's that I got wrong with "trigger facts."

2. Analyze and outline 3 IEE's per week; during the first 4-weeks, I will do this under non-timed conditions, after which I will hand-write the exams under timed conditions (e.g. 30 minutes.)

3. Analyze and outline 4 MEE's per week, during the first 4-weeks, I will do this under non-timed conditions as above.

Purchase 2010 Strategies and Tactics and read each introductory chapter.

Prepare Essay Binders - 1) for the MPT's, 2) for the MEE's, and finally for 3) the IEE's.

After 4-weeks absence from exam preparation, I am already finding a lapse in memory and a need to keep my skills sharp.  I must build a new life of "routine."

At the same time, I am looking for new employment, and studying the "Rules of the Road" to take the Illinois Driver's test and to title my car in this state.  And, beginning a paralegal program next week. . .

I perform better under pressure. . .

And, I am already having dreams about the July 2010 exam results. . .and recalling the crushing blow that I felt when I faced a blank computer screen after the Februrary 2009 bar exam. . .

I miss my study partner. . .

Re-birth is not without pain. . .
