Also, I did this while working full time in audit. I would emphasize using your time whenever you can to get some questions in. I certainly still went out with friends and what not, but I always made sure I had felt comfortable with my progress that week. If I went out, sometimes I would study when I got back home if I was up to it. Essentially, do the best you can with the time you have/can create.

There’s now a lawsuit in Texas challenging PREP. How much longer do y’all plan to live in the US? This is actually how I predicted this would unfold.
