| | One week left. How terrifying.
I've got a dry run of pretty much the whole thing this week, tomorrow through Friday. Then it's one last weekend of cramming, some more cramming on Monday morning, and then we're driving off to Philly to check into the hotel sometime Monday afternoon.
A week and a half from now, the madness will all be over...
Assuming I pass.
The studying has actually been going fairly well the last couple weeks -- I feel like most of the major subjects are starting to gel in my head, and I have at least a tenuous grasp on the other subjects for PA and NJ. I was telling David the other day that it's like I've got all of the knowledge I'll need in a huge mass being held in precariously by rope nets, and every time something threatens to break free, I've got to jump on it and tamp it back down again... It gets a little exhausting sometimes.
But God is my refuge and strength... It's so easy to try to power through this all with sheer brute force, and to place my trust in my study schedules and stacks of flashcards. If I can only do another couple hundred multiple choice questions before next Tuesday, I'll pass. If I can manage to write another dozen or so essays before Tuesday, spotting all the right issues and parroting all the right rules, I'll pass. But that way lies madness... I just don't have the strength or the capacity on my own to handle all of this. So this summer has been an interesting lesson in the balance between discipline and grace, in how to really prioritize properly, in seeing God through this whole scary process. I don't know if I'll pass. But I do know that our God is a mighty God, and He has promised to never leave us or forsake us, and that's good enough for me. :)
One week left...
