Bar update

The firm won't pay for the Bar/BRI iPod option. But apparently they'll give me time off to attend the lectures. (Which doesn't seem cost-effective to me, but okay.) So even though I hate the idea of being stuck in a room watching a video for four hours a day, if they really won't have a problem with me taking off at noon, I guess I won't complain. It'll be a rough couple of months between work and studying, but the plan is:

(0) Make sure everybody at work knows I'm studying for the bar.
(1) Start studying a few weeks early.
(2) Get to work early, which means no more sleeping in for JW.
(3) Take the afternoon class, so I can get out at 5 and go pick up K.
(4) Put in 2-3 hours of studying and/or work each night.
(5) Take 2-3 weeks off before the actual exam (I get 12 days paid) to study.
(6) Don't Panic.

If I can keep (6) in mind, bar prep might even be a nice break from work.
