Now that I am working on MBE subjects, time is getting more crunched. The regular study plan is to do your subject essays for that day and then do 50 MBE questions per day, or something like that. But I felt like it was useless and depressing to go over MBE questions that I hadn't covered yet in lectures, so I am doing big blocks of MBE questions out of the PMBR book once I go through the lecture and essays. For example, today I did 175 Crim Law MBE questions. I am also checking my answers after each quesion, so this took about 8-9 hours (I had a minor kitchen accident during this since I forgot that vinegar + baking soda = volcano. Another example of my brain being fried). I do think this method helps me learn the material better. This means that going through MBE subjects takes about an extra day or so than Maryland-only subjects.
I thought that I don't get stressed about exams, but I have noticed that I am crankier and forgetful lately. Of course, these are classic symptoms of bar studying that I was sure I would avoid, but I also thought I knew contracts, so really, what do I know?
Rock climbing, my favorite activity, tends to make my brain feel a lot better and I am able to think more clearly after I've been climbing for about an hour or so. Probably because it is nonverbal. What I need to work on is being a nice person if I go directly from studying to socializing. I think it's the talking- my verbal capacity is so strained that I am unable to express myself and get frustrated. So new rule: have to go work out between studying and social events, or I won't have anymore social events to go to.
