STUDY SCHEDULE: JOY BINAY

So I am about to share my study schedule or my time table.
I would like to reiterate that I am an ordinary student who wanted to become a lawyer. Before the Bar, I evaluated
myself and concluded that at the rate of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, I am just a six or seven. But with my
strategy and persistence, I will be the best level seven there is. I will give my all. I will not have any regret come
November to March. Again, this is my sked. Please don't judge me and my desperation to pass. Haha.

My ideal time frame:

8 am-12nn STUDY
12-1: lunch siesta break
1-4 STUDY
4-5 BREAK
5-9 CHANGE LOCATION/ STUDY
9-10 BREAK
10-2am STUDY with chill moments.
***not followed religiously. :) probably 5 times a week. Sunday is family day.
For my complete list of materials, Please refer to my previous post entitled, "All
about that Books"

For my Bar Calendar, please refer to my previous post entitled, "Calendar Girl"
