Studying for the Bar

By Athar Khan

It has been about two weeks since I stopped working and have been focusing solely on the bar exam. After a few painfully unproductive days, I am happy to report that my concentration/focus and stamina — although not at the level that they need to be — are improving. I am now able to sit at a desk a little longer each day without getting distracted.

Finding a good place to study was a challenge. I wanted to avoid studying at school where it is too easy to get into conversations with friends and lose track of time. So, I tried studying at a public library and a nearby college library (Irvine Valley College). I was really hoping that Irvine Valley would work out because it is so close to my home and they have a cafeteria too! However, their library is just too loud for me to be able to concentrate. Studying at the public library didn’t work out for the same reason.

So I have settled for studying at school. This might sound strange but it feels good to know where I will be studying every day. Now, all I have to do is work it into my routine.
