F is for Fun...and Finals ... and Failing

I have a remedies final tomorrow. I seriously might be less prepared for it than I was for the two classes I took pass-fail. I read for class once this semester, paid attention in class for probably a total of 70 minutes and have only barely made it through reading someone else's outline once. So studying for this final exam is a bit of a challenge. But since I started knowing so little, I feel like my study time is actually very productive because learning even the most basic rules and cases is making leaps and bounds.

The hard part? Surprisingly, it's not finding the motivation. I really wish I could have studied more for this class (although I don't really regret not paying attention all semester). It's finding uninterrupted study time.

I learned pretty early on in the semester that it's damn near impossible to study when I'm alone with Timmy, even if he takes a little nap. This is shocking to Timmy!



PJO has been on Timmy duty this weekend so I could study, but it's not like I can just disappear to school all day for 12 hours. I have to feed him or pump every few hours. This makes school a non-option and the local library pretty unappealing. In our little apartment, there isn't a designated spot to do any work, so I made one.

My mom has a little card table that is about 4 feet by a foot and a half... just small enough to fit in a spot in our bedroom between my side of the bed and the wall. I took one of the chairs for our kitchen table and made myself a nice little desk. I have enough room for all my outlines and practice exams and it has a good view (well, it has a window).



Between the hour it takes for me to be awake, pumping or nursing several times a day and eating myself, my study time is cut down a lot. But at least I'm getting lots of help from the cats! (They go crazy when the windows are open because they can hear and see the birds outside)



So what does Timmy think of my chances on the Remedies exam?
