Early bar prep thoughts

I'm not taking the bar until next summer, thanks to a lovely university-wide policy that restricts official graduation dates to March, June, or November, rendering me ineligible for the February bar. But I'm thinking about it now because at the end of the summer, I'll have to talk with my firm about taking time off for the bar.

So here's what I'm thinking: do Micromash + PMBR, and try to borrow someone's Bar/Bri books to supplement. Then I can do most of it on my own time. Maybe ask to work a reduced schedule starting in June, and take two weeks off in July before the bar? Does that sound reasonable? Any thoughts are appreciated.

(by the way: if you're wondering why Micromash instead of Bar/Bri, it's because I think the study method will work much better for me -- I tend to fall asleep in lectures and zone out when I'm listening to audiobooks. I think it'll be okay. I have a friend who's doing it this year and will see how it goes with her, but reviews on the web I've seen have been generally positive, at least about the MBE part. Advice on this is welcome too.)
