Week 5 of BarBri, and I started out behind. Only an hour or so, but it wasn't the way I wanted to go into the week. The problem was that I didn't do as much as I should have Saturday, because I had reached the point where repeatedly banging my head into a brick wall was sounding preferable (and more productive) than studying any more. That left Sunday to catch up, which would have worked had we not gone out to dinner with A's mom and then left my purse at his sister's house and had to go back for it. C'est la vie. I finished up at 10.00 last night with everything but one MPT outline done.

I am blogging as I type up my notes, which I really shouldn't be doing, but this outline is driving me crazy and I need something as a form of distraction. Most of the lecturers have been alright so far - some have even been really good. Today's just didn't work for me. I'm sure she organized her lecture handout, but it's not a form of organization that makes any sense to me.

Small dog is curled up on the floor asleep. He didn't get his walk this morning, so he's spent most of the day bounding around, running back and forth and up and down the stairs. He's several feet away, which is nice. Usually when he lays down on the floor near me, he's either under my desk at my feet or right behind my chair. It's sweet, but it makes it difficult to move without running over him.

Small dog has moved closer to my feet. Done with outlining my notes for today. My reward? A short walk with small dog, and then another 4.5 hours or so of work. A is making roasted bell pepper stuffed with lentils, curried cauliflower and sausage, ginger, and lemon-grass for dinner. Small pleasures.
