“Did it never strike your mind that what every woman says, some women may feel?”

15 June, 2026.

Finished The Hobbit last week and started both Katabasis and And now back to you. I also managed to work out 2 out of 3 times, so I'm making up to it this week.

I've also been updating my reading journal and joined a new reading challenge. Turns out, I could reuse most of my tbr for the challenge and only added two new books.

For this next week, I want to finish And now back to you and read as much as I can of Katabasis. I'm a bit behind on my reading of Rhythm of War, so I'm catching up with it.

This week's goals:

Finish And now back to you.

Read (and maybe finish) Katabasis.

Catch up with Rhythm of War.

crazy and desperate studying has been the routine of my days (i got nothing done). the library is such a wonderful place and the one near me is so peaceful and aesthetically pleasing it really does motivate me to get stuff done.

Day 5 of preparing for the 2026 Bar Exams

June 5, 2026

My preparation for the bar exams started last Monday, and I have accumulated a total of 21 hours and 31 minutes of study time this week so far. It's less than what I planned based on my weekly study plan, but I'm avoiding that feeling of frustration and chose to be gentle to myself since I'm still getting back on track from the past idle month when our mock bar exams ended up until graduation.

I woke up at around 8:30am, and went right to studying.

I went on a run at 5pm. I was able to run for 5 kilometers under 33 minutes. My left knee hurts right now, and it's my fault for trying to run a sub-30 without training.

I went back to studying at around 6pm. I was able to study for a total of 8 hours and 31 minutes today, and covered half of the syllabus for Civil Procedure.

I also finished the revisions for the digital guidebook I'm assigned for work.
