I just read that you passed on a job as a generalist near the beach, so are you studying full time?, could you chare at what hour you get up, and go to sleep, on average how many hours are you putting into your prep. I am working 8 hrs a day, so I get home at around 5 p.m. and this is when I am going to start studying. Good luck ___________________ leave the old behind—leave behind old behavior, old thinking, old words.
