Scheduling

I took some time today to whip up some schedules that I'll try to follow this summer. These schedules will be in effect until June 6th, assuming I take the June LSAT (it's looking iffy right now!). If I do, my schedule will clear up significantly as I won't need to spend 3 hours a day studying and I'll have more time to work out and just relax. I'll still have to spend at least a few hours a week preparing my law school applications, but that won't be as time consuming as LSAT prep. I have two schedules made up, because I alternate working Mondays with another girl.

Schedule A

Schedule B

I've tried to give myself enough time to work out - at least an hour a day 5 days a week. And I've tried to schedule my meals in there as well. I think I've done a pretty good job, and it'll be a schedule I'll try to stick to for the first month or so. It'll be busy and I won't have much time for myself, but I just have to realize it'll only be for 4 weeks!

I have realized that the day I've chosen to start this - May 1 - is the day after I attend a buck and doe for my cousin. Hopefully I won't have a massive hangover! And even if I do, what better way to combat a hangover than to go for a run and treat my body right, right? I hope! I'll try to be smart Saturday night and not drink too much. If there's one thing I know it's that alcohol is the enemy on diets! At least the alcohol I love to drink. So I'll try to avoid it as much as I can, and when I do drink, I'll keep it to one or two ounces of vodka.

I didn't expect to update this so soon, but I was excited to share my schedule. I feel like this is really going to happen. I have a lot of trouble following schedules though, but hopefully this is one I'll be able to stick to. And if it comes down to it, I'll have to choose studying over working out at least for this month, as LSAT takes precedent over exercising for now (but I'll still be eating healthy!).

I never thought I'd be so excited to start something like this, but I really feel like I'll accomplish this. It's a good feeling!
