			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally finished my first week of training under the <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/index.html">One Hundred Push Ups</a> program.  I am proud to say that I made it all the way through.  It was challenging, but a success.  Now only five more weeks to go before I can do the big 100.  The training program has made me feel like I need to do more strength training.  Since moving to Tennessee I have not had a gym to go to, so my strength training has really just turned into resistance training.  In stead of lifting weights, I have my body weight and resistance bands.  It is at least something, but I feel like I could be doing more.  I guess I feel like that in other areas too.  Like Bar studying&#8230;</p>
<p>Speaking of Bar studying, I completely bombed the practice MBE that I took on Friday.  I mean below average raw score bombing.  I feel like I need to be cracking down even harder since I only have four weeks left until the big day.  I am now only 3 lectures behind the in-class study schedule.  I was about 1 1/2 weeks behind when I started.  I just need to practice more questions and focus on some concepts that continuously trip me up.</p>
<p>And finally, the House Hunting.  It is on a semi-hold right now. The Husband left today for three weeks (possibly more) in Argentina for his job.  While I can still keep looking, no firm decisions can be made until he gets back to look at the house too.  The way the market is moving along, I that any house I find will go flying off the market anytime soon.</p>
<p>We did go to three open houses today before he hopped on his plane.  They were mainly disappointing.  It is a combination of not finding what we want and then finding houses that people didn&#8217;t take good care of.  I mean, if you are having an open house, the least you could do is clear off the cobwebs from the side entry, toss out the dead plants and put a screw into the loose railing so no one falls down the stairs to the basement.  I mean, you are trying to sell your house, right? *sigh*  We did see one house that was taken care of and was below our price range, but it also meant it was too small for us.  At least we are starting to understand more what we will and will not accept as far as size and condition are concerned.  So the hunt, on a smaller level, will continue.  The massive assault on the real estate of Blount County will occur in August.  I will be done with the Bar, the Husband will be in the country and I want to be settled in a home before Thanksgiving!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I have been living in East Tennessee for a full week now.  Obviously I have not had time for anything.  I haven&#8217;t blogged, I haven&#8217;t posted on flickr, I haven&#8217;t done much other than unpack and study for the Bar.</p>
<p>Let me just say that only a very disciplined person should take on the Self-Guided BarBri Course.  I have only made it through 2 subjects while the in-class course should be through at least 4 by now. I will blame part of it on the late start because of moving, but a lot of it is just having so much other stuff to do  too.  I cannot imagine having a job while also studying for the Bar.  I am putting in 8+ hours of studying in every day and I still feel like I am so far behind!</p>
<p>I just wanted to post a quick update that I am here in Tennessee now.  Alive and well, but busy beyond belief.  I hope to post more often now that I am finally getting into a &#8220;normal&#8221; schedule.</p>
