15 june - end of day update

A long day, but I’d say a good one! My table’s messy as hell but its okay, because I met my study time goal (350 mins) and I made good progress on my readings! I wasn’t able to count the number of pages because I decided to prioritize the more important topics (that are likely to come out) rather than going strictly by the syllabus. I made a lot of notes and I was able to start on my flashcards, which I think would be useful in memorization.

I ended pretty late but I think this is just what I got accustomed to--I tend to focus more in the afternoons until the early morning. Good and very strong coffee also helped. And!! special shoutout to my girl eunbi for an absolute bop, was literally on repeat for the entire night hehe

#good job @ me! :)#bar review #study #study progress #study accountability #gonna grind (the coffee)

15 june - pushing forward

Another day! I’m starting late today because I had to do some work first, but now I’m done I can finally focus on studying for the rest of the day.

I’m gonna try and maintain the same progress as yesterday, so hopefully I make some good progress on my readings. I’m also hoping to do some practice questions, but if I don’t have enough time today, I’ll make sure that I can answer them tomorrow.

goal: 100 pages

study time: min. 300 mins

14 june - pushing forward (+ late end of day update)

I went out to make some preparations for my graduation, and then went to a cafe to study so I started late, and finished quite late. Not the prettiest photos but I really like walking at night where there’s less people, less traffic and less humidity. Its also a good way to destress after a long day.

But! I’m pretty satisfied with yesterday’s progress in terms of my readings and study time. I wanted to stay in the cafe for longer because I was pretty focused (which is rare) but it was getting very late so I had to go home. Nevertheless, it was a good day.

13 june - cramming (but not really (i think??))

Today’s the exam for Evidence, and I’m just about to start finishing up my review (1st reading) and hopefully I have enough time to do a second reading before the exam starts.

Keeping it short today (bc i gotta kinda cram hehe). Good luck to me! end of day update: Done with my day! Unfortunately got caught up with reviewing, and my table (and room) was too messy for me to take some pictures. I guess I’m not cut out for that academia aesthetic, hehe.

I was gonna try and meet my study hours after the exam but unfortunately (I mean its good, but also not good) I had to do some work.

As for the exam, I think it was good that I memorized some stuff, but it wasn’t enough :( I predicted that I would have to define some key concepts but!!! instead of memorizing it, I just... familiarized it. And it turned out that I’m right and its just a shame that I could’ve answered those questions probably if I had taken the extra mile to memorize them.

I really need to get over my laziness, because as much as I’ve read stuff in its entirety it might not be that much of a use if I can’t explain them properly and precisely.

Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day :)

12 june - end of day update

I got enough study hours in and reached my minimum goal (at least 300 min) and made good progress with my readings! :)

Also, I think I’d be able to adjust with just staying in my room to study, instead of traveling downtown to study in cafes and libraries. I have a lot more control over my time and not a lot of it is wasted on traveling. Though I think I still have to listen to myself every now and then, and still go out if my room starts to feel suffocating.

I might have to put a pause on my Labor review for tomorrow, since I’m gonna take an exam for my Evidence (sit-in) class. I’ve already done some reviews on the subject so hopefully I can finish up the subject within the day and take the exam.

Good job @ me for today!

12 june - staying on track

Finally starting my review for my Day 2 subjects (Labor, Civil Law). I only have one reference book for Labor, but I’m gonna make sure I stay on track with the syllabus and hopefully read all of them by the 18th or 19th (when I’ll be taking the mock bar exam).

I also got the suggested answers from the Crim exam I had yesterday, and I missed out on a lot of questions because I didn’t get the different nuances in the facts. I think once I do my second reading I’m gonna focus on those in addition to some memory work.

For today, I’m gonna start on reading for Labor 1, and hopefully I can make some significant progress.

11 june - end of day update

I managed to get enough study hours in, and I took the mock exam! (sorry for the mess hehe that’s usually the situation after studying -- my table is just as messy as my mind) I’m surprised that I at least had an idea on how to approach the question, but I realized that I need to work more on memorizing stuff, which I absolutely hate.

They say that stock knowledge gets you a long way, and might even save you. I think I understand what they mean now.

As I unfortunately have to move on to my next subject, I feel disappointed that I wasn’t able to finish my Day 3 subjects. But I wanna look ahead and make sure I finish my readings for my Day 2 subjects.

For now, good job, me!

11 june - realizations

I tried to do what others usually do and wake up early and be done by 8pm or so.. but I realized that 1) I wake up LATE 2) I can focus a bit better in the afternoon and night. So I think today I should try going with the flow and adjust to what I’m used to rather than force myself to change my habits.

I’m starting a bit late today--it’s almost 2:30pm here but its okay, I’m gonna make the most of my day and also finally!! take the exam. Even if I can’t answer a lot of the questions.

I hope I can make some progress today hehe. Good luck @ myself!

10 june - a desperate attempt to catch up

I’m behind on my readings for criminal law, but I’m still gonna try and attempt to take the mock bar and see if there are some topics that i need to catch up on. The ultimate goal would be to finish the important readings until June 12 the latest. For today, I have to read book 2 until 6 pm, and maybe take the exam by 7 pm. Not sure if I'll actually submit my answers though, we’ll see... End of day update: Managed to get some readings done, and I thought I still have lots to read but I think I've already read a huge chunk from the syllabus. I’m gonna take the exam tomorrow (and because its late I won’t be submitting it, just doing it for practice). Good job @ myself for today!

back after god knows when

its so weird coming back to this site after almost 9 years. nothing much has changed, and i’m still a bts fan since i left this site but!! i’m now preparing for the bar exams and there’s no one i could talk to in terms of keeping myself accountable... so i’m thinking maybe i could post my updates here even if there’s no one reading this. i need to get my shit together and make sure i stay on track!! good luck to me!!
