Wasn't it Friday afternoon an hour or so ago? I'm not entirely sure if time flies on the weekend or maybe it's just that the actual week drags on and on. And on. This past weekend, I had set a few goals and accomplished exactly zero of them.
1. Catch up on sleep
I'm more tired, at the moment, than I was at any time during the week. Not good. It's to the point where I refrain from laying down on my couch for fear I'll accidentally fall alseep. It's happened before, and it happened again to me today -- During Sunday Night Football, no less. Perhaps I would have been more interested in staying awake if I had any of the Jaguar or Steeler players on my fantasy football teams.
2. Get ahead with schoolwork
Nope. I finished my assignments for Crim on Saturday but it's been a struggle to open the book since then. I was hoping that I could get some of the work for Property and Civil Procedure out of the way but at least I'm already caught up in Contracts since my professor is always one lecture behind.
3. Make an outline for at least one class
I'm nearly two months into the semester and I have yet to pump out a single outline. I'm going to use the next few hours before bed to get a rough version of a Criminal Law Outline down, but I'll still have a lot of work to do.
So far, I think the most interesting part about law school is that the individual work, on a day to day basis, isn't too difficult. Time consuming, perhaps, but it's not intellectually exhausting by any means. The true rigor comes from the fact that the same workload, over the course of a week or two, begins to wear on you. I had days like these in undergrad, but the difference is I've never had to deal with it over a sustained period of time. My only saving grace is that I've got Thursday off, which means I'll be in a fantastic mood Wednesday afternoon. Or I'll be alseep.
