Studying for the Architectural Registration Exam (ARE)

Well I have been back to the studying mode for some time now to take my exams to become a licensed professional. So if I choose some day, I can start my own architectural firm. I started off so well back in May by taking two exams within two months time, and having a goal of completeing all 9 by the first of the year. Well it is December 18th, and I have less than 2 weeks to hit my goal.

Well it is not going to happen. I do have an exam scheduled for New Years Eve however. I am finding it very difficult to sit down and study. But I consciously chose to expedite this process and have them all completed by June of 2009. So time to really sit down a suck it up and bury my head in the books after the kids go to be.
