finally, some progress

I was pretty much an all-A student.  Not because I was so smart, but because I was a good studier.  I have lost that skill.

I have two big tests I need to take before I can get a real estate license:  one is the school exam, and one is the state exam.  Fortunately, the studying is the same for both.

In preparation for these exams, I make a schedule of how many chapters I need to review each day.  I vary the number of chapters based on whatever else I have planned.  I am trying to minimize my activities so I can study.  But of course other, more interesting temptations, get in the way.

My self-imposed schedule required that I review many more chapters this week that I actually do.  In fact, through yesterday, I had studied one and half chapters of twenty.  Pitiful.

But today I wake up determined.  I have nothing planned.  It is freezing outside.  I hunker down, and actually review four and a half chapters by six p.m.  This is a major accomplishment.


Now I can enjoy mindless TV tonight.  I hope this is the beginning of a trend.  That would be nice.
