Funny how many things come to mind when I’m trying to focus on studying. I have never been a person that can sit still long for anything, so when I took 3 days off from work (its day 1) to solely work on my contracts outline and memorize it, i immediately found a million ways to procastinate. All of a sudden, I want to contact old friends I kept meaning to. I want to go out and buy a Christmas stocking for my nephew Charlie for his first Christmas. I want to clean my room. I want to upload pics to facebook, since I’m so behind on that. Oh and look at this, I also remembered I had a blog at one point.
Law school itself isn’t so bad. It’s combining it with a full time job and caring for a sick parent where it gets complicated. I really do wish there were 36 hours in the day, just so I can get more done. I’m not regretting going to law school, in fact, going over contracts has been very interesting. I just miss having free time sometimes. I miss being able to spontaneously go away for a weekend, or grab a few drinks with my friends after work. I miss being able to dedicate 2 hours to my neice in the evening, where we could play. I guess it’ll be worth it in the end…right?
I haven’t looked forward to Christmas break as I am this this time in years. After losing my father a few years ago, the holidays seemed kind of meaningless, and I was working around the time anyway. Even going to Florida the year before last for the entire month of my break wasn’t the most exciting thing. This year though…I am crazy-excited! I have 2 finals left, and then I will be able to just go home after work and be able to start my christmas shopping, take Amanda to see Santa Claus at Macy’s, write out cards for people, and pack for my vacation. (I’m going to Punta Cana in January.) I will be able to spend more time with my mom, which I have been feeling guilty about. I will be able to see my friends whenever I want (after business hours) and attend holiday parties. I am so happy that its the season.
Now back to my contracts outline…
