Day 4 -- Not feeling so hot

Four days in, and feeling like a complete idiot.

I have never scored so low on a multiple choice test, ever, before this week.

Barbri has an interesting feature where it allows you to answer a designated number of multiple choice questions, and then it lets you know your score and your percentile rank with all other Barbri students.  In one section of Constitutional Law, 86% of Barbri students scored higher than me.  This does not bode well.

I have continued making flash cards, but I am unsure of how useful they will be.  I am hoping that the process of writing things down will do something for me. 

As far as the lectures go -- I am afraid that after all these years in school, writing down lecture notes has become so rote that although I am a professional at taking fast notes, I am not paying attention whatsoever to the meaning of what I am writing. 

And as to keeping up with the assignments -- so far it isn't too bad.  That being said, it is not hard to answer a couple sets of multiple choice questions, go over the answers, and watch an hour long video.  It is the reading part that kills me.  Anyhow, it is now time for a glass of Le Cheap Cabernet and a cheesy movie.

  2. Okay, funny thing just happened - you know how when you comment it prompts you to type in a code to prove you are really a human? Well, I commented on your post, and it made me type in "baribla." And that's basically how I feel right now about this whole bar thing:

    Baribla!
