December.

SIGH. Just one more month in what has seemed like the longest year ever. We still don't know who is going to be inaugurated in January. MSM has declared a victor but with numerous lawsuits and recounts in play, there will be no official answer until all votes of the electoral college are counted and certified/confirmed. The registration date for the May 2021 exam has been pushed back to January, so I have about a month to get my house projects done before I return to studying and being focused on my exam. I have already started to develop my plan for preparing for the next exam -- reading schedule, quizzes, etc. So let's get into it...
