A day in the life

Since one of my main reasons for starting this blog was to keep a record of the goings on in our daily lives, I thought I would dedicate this post to what a day in my life while studying for the bar is like. So here goes:

1. Get up around 7:30 when Kevin gets up to get ready for work. Stumble down the stairs still half asleep. Let Charles out. Put coffee in the coffee pot, and if it's a good day remember to actually turn it on.

2. Put on a pair of Nike shorts and an oversized t-shirt. Throw hair in a pony tail. Make an executive decision about whether I want to wear contacts or glasses.

3. Migrate into the office. Check my e-mail and blogger (for those of you whose blogs I read, you are the highlight of my morning so please keep blogging!).

4. Open the Barbri interactive paced program to find out what I need to get done for the day. Be thankful that I am taking Barbri because I don't think I would know where to begin if I didn't.

5. Contemplate ways to kill the neighbors dog that barks all day every day.

7. Spend the morning watching a bar review lecture. These usually last between 3 and 4 hours.

8. Lunch. Wander downstairs, water my plants and grab a Greek Yogurt and a green tea because for some crazy reason I thought now would be a good time to crack down on my coke zero addiction.

9. Spend the afternoon doing whatever assignments I have for the day.

10. 2:00- go turn the air conditioner to 68 because it's hot upstairs and I have ingested approximately a whole pot of coffee at this point.

11. Crack and drive to the gas station to get a Coke Zero because we don't keep them in the house anymore.

12. 5:30- realize Kevin will be home soon. Go downstairs and attempt to throw together a meal that has some resemblance to dinner since I haven't been to the store in over a week.

13. Go for walk even though the heat index in Alabama is over 100 degrees right now in an attempt to burn off excess energy and ensure I will be able to sleep.

14. Read the 100+ page outline for the next days lecture.

15. Watch an episode of Mad Men on NetFlix with Kevin.

16. Go to bed. Thank God every night for my supportive husband who provides for me and has blessed me with this summer to focus on my studies, my wonderful dog who is such a good companion during the long study days, and for this opportunity, but pray every night that this opportunity will be a once in a lifetime one.
