I put in 9 hours yesterday, and didn't even realize it. I was actually surprised at how fast the time went by. My sister called me right before she was going into a movie, and it felt like about 20 minutes later she called me to tell me about it.

But suddenly around 9:50 it was like a switch flipped. I had been rocking along, typing notes, making bullet points, and in the middle of a Bob Monette lecture, I just suddenly wasn't going to sit there another minute. It was literally like I COULDN'T sit there any more. I made a cup of decaf tea, sat in a bubble bath, and watched an episode of Psych on Netflix on my tiny little iPhone screen. I'm really hoping that feeling is gone when I start back in a few minutes.

AUD - 88
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC - 88

hey guys,

well after 5 hours today, I worked on sims and a REG final exam in Becker. Not so hot. I felt much better about my prospects yesterday. I hate that my confidence can swing so quickly in another direction.

Going to go to grocery store and take a breather. Family needs to eat and all–go figure!

Not losing hope, although I have 8 days after today, so it HAS to come together quick.

Hope you guys powered up!!!

I love this thread. I didn't study much (about an hour??) yesterday. After seeing this thread, here I am motivated to complete at least 5 hours today. I will post it tomorrow how many hours I studied.

We should post these type more often and we need one for the weekdays too. Let us keep motivating each other! we will get there soon.

thank you all. Good Luck.

I agree with you guys too. Writing it down helps me keep honest!

Great thread JoMarie—-hope your Sunday power day was great and that you are feeling good about Tuesday's exam!

Well so far I've only put in about another 2 1/2 hours. Sundays are tough!! Between going to church, taking the kids to their swimming lessons, and grocery shopping for the week it's hard to find time for MCQs. Hubby said he'll put the kids to bed tonight so I can hit the books. He also said that tomorrow he's going to try to get out work early so he can help me with the kids since my exam is on Tuesday, I would have taken tomorrow off of work, but I'm out of PTO for the remaining of the year, :(. Well time to get in at least another 2 to 3 hours in tonight before bed. Good Luck all.

Glad you like the thread. Maybe tomorrow I'll start one for the week. Either Tuesday or Wednesday I need to start reviewing FAR. It's a month away!!
