Summary: I got more than 8 hours last night--it was more like 11. I guess I needed it. I still accomplished my goals today. I finished the practice problems in the book and did one full-length on-line test. I got a 790 on verbal, and I was on track to having a perfect on math but I ran out of time. I haven't timed myself yet, so I had no concept of pacing. It's cool though. I can up my hustle.
I also made a bank deposit, hung out with Eva for a bit, did push-ups, and went for a jog. Tomorrow I want to do 3 full-length tests on-line.

Comments: I was on-point all day. I accomplished my study goal: finish creating flash cards, studying concepts, and studying strategy. I tried several practice problems and had good results. Tomorrow I'm going to do a bunch of exercises in the back of my book and try one full length test. I also did push-ups and took care of some budget stuff.
I met Eva for a peppermint mocha latte this afternoon, which was nice, and later we walked to Sahara to meet my dad and our mutual friend for dinner. The walk was great and so was the dinner and conversation.

Summary: I didn't have to go into work until 10, and, shamefully, I slept an extra two hours because I didn't have to get up. I intended to get up at my normal time and use my two hours to study. Oh well. Work was good--I studied for a few minutes at lunch--and at the end of the day I got to help set up a company party at Alma de Cuba. The restaurant is beautiful. I would love to go there privately some time for a drink or dinner. I was also at work late enough to see the city after dark from up in the sky scraper. It too was beautiful. Daniel Leibeskind (sp?) said that the city is the greatest creation of man. I might agree, or at least I understand the sentiment there. It was moving, actually, walking around the perimeter of the office taking in the panoramic of the city at night. Once I came home, I proof-read my application to the Nutter administration, sent it, and studied for the rest of the night. Now I'm off to bed. Tomorrow I want to finish going over the concepts and strategies in my book, as well as finish creating my flash cards, so I can start doing practice tests over the weekend. Wednesday is test day.

Comments: worked late, studied at lunch, went for a run, put together an application to work for the Nutter administration, and ate. The sugar thing is a pain in my ass--I don't know why I can't resist. But at least I didn't completely let go and I stuck with my goals. My run was awesome. I hadn't been on the banks trail after dark before, and it's very beautiful. All the bridges are lit up underneath, and the skyline is in the background. Good stuff.

Comments: I've been slipping on my sugar liberation quest. Despite that, I've still had moderately productive days. Starting tomorrow (actually, starting right now) I'm going to resume my attempt and see how many days I can go.
