At Last, Light Has Broken Through The Darkness

Pardon the melodrama, but God Almighty has it been a rough two weeks. Six hours every day at Barnes & Noble alone, just diving into as much material as I could. Highlighting my notes. Outlining my notes. Outlining my outline. Outlining the outline of my outline. Studying, studying, studying. I have never driven myself that hard, and I'm both anxious and nervous to see the results.

Naturally, I have been very much out of it. I learned of the Drew signing from Phantom's comment. It wasn't until 4pm on Sunday that I realized football was being played. I learned of the Matsuzaka signing from a guy in a Sox hat who spoke to me in the law building (I was sporting a Beckett #19 shirt). It wasn't until just this second that I remembered Wake is playing De Paul tonight. *pauses to check score* Down by 22. Great.

Anyway, I now have that odd burden of reconditioning myself back to being lazy. I have to think of something to do in the afternoons that doesn't involve noticing the odd array of people who browse the witchcraft section of B&N, which just so happens to be next to the best studying nook. But getting used to laziness again shouldn't take me that long (too much experience). I'm looking forward to just sitting on the couch (at home!) and not having to worry about a thing. No case briefs, no outlines, no cram sessions. Just... nothing.

Then of course, three weeks later, it starts all over again.

Looks like we survived the first semester of 1L year, unlike .0013% of law students. That by itself is cause for celebration.

I think it's gonna be harder for me to get back used to working all the time after break. We'll see.
