Getting used to waking up at 4 am again. Studied all day again. Feeling more comfortable with the subject matter. I’m at the half way point of my studies. Just 2.5 more weeks to go. After that I will take break for a month and then study at my leisure.

Didn’t do much today. Just relaxed and play Animal Crossing for  a little bit. Planned out the week and organized my notes from my studies. Grilled up some steaks before it started to sprinkle. Going to bed and read before I fall asleep.

I’m getting burnt out on studying. Slept in till 5 am and got my day started late. Dragged my feet with study all day. After work I jumped in the cold pool to rejuvenate myself. It worked and I was able to get my household duties completed.

Spent the day deep cleaning the house for some reason. Felt burnt out on studying so I took a break and started cleaning the bathroom. Next thing I know I’m removing any spot of soap scum I can find in the shower. In the afternoon I made State Fair Lemonade. Came out delicious.
