Update May 24

 I have continued to slog through the material. There is no way to remember all of this. Am I wasting my time reading this material? Should I just be figuring out a way to access it quickly?

Finally Finished Printing Material

 As an update, earlier today I finally finished printing the material for the bar exam. It cost 370$ to print. I was particular about the way I wanted it tabbed, and printed into booklets. I don't want to be having to go through two thousand pages at the time of the exam.  I didn't mention my big concerns in my previous post. The first concern I have is I saw a youtube video of some girl saying that she failed the bar exam three times!! That is frightening, i don't have the energy to retake these exams so often! I need to pass this exam! The second concern I have is that they say that the exam is based on long fact patterns which then require very specific answers which will be worded very similarly. How long will it take to read the question itself? If I have 60-100 seconds to read the question, how much of that time is going to be taken in the reading of the question? I am going to need to do a lot of timed practise questions to make sure I have this skill.

Started Yesterday - Civil Procedure

I started with a civil procedure lecture yesterday. The lecture was about 6 hours long and I got through about 2.5 hours of it. I also worked. The plus side I found was that in this topic, the topic wasn't completely out of left field from me. Issues like Joinder, and Intervenors were not so far out of my experience as a U.S. attorney that I could not recognize them.  At the same time I was reminded just how dull civil procedure is, and it was difficult to maintain my attention. I suppose this isn't unreasonable for a first session, but I have to work on this if I want to have any hope in hell of actually passing the respective barrister and solicitors exams.
