BarBri Day 23 and 24, South Beach Diet days two and three. Also, work.
Bar Bri: I skipped last night's session on Bankruptcy. Did I come home and work questions? No. I slept. Tonight was Professor Penguin's Ethics class. All he was doing was reading from the Rules of Professional Conduct and having us fill in the blanks. I can do that on my own. So I came home after an hour and a half.
Tonight was the last night of BarBri. I do not at all feel any smarter, with good reason; I haven't had time to DO anything. :(
At least my boss is giving me the week off before the Bar. With that, and with the end of Bar Bri, that leaves me the rest of this week and next week after work to study, and the the entirety of the NEXT week to study. This is going to be tight. Do I have it in me to pull one last rabbit out of the hat? I hope so.
In diet news, yesterday I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, baked chicken and black eyed peas for lunch, and baked chicken breast and asparagus for supper. Today was a slice of bacon and a scrambled egg for breakfast, baked beans and brocolli for lunch, and catfish with brocolli for supper. I have not cheated at all, despite being hella stressed right now.
I got lectured at work today about being too argumentative to the people who are trying to help me learn my job. THis concerns rating cases and making decisions based on the federal regulations. I'm not being argumentative, I'm being a zealous advocate for the veteran, and I'm interpreting the regs the way they're written or the way I've been told to interpret them. My coach said I'm running the risk of turning off my coworkers, and I certainly do NOT want to do that. But sometimes I don't see why I'm wrong and they're right; they've got years of experience, but when that conflicts with my work training in specific and legal training in general, it puts me in a difficult spot. :(
Not. Happy.
