I Have Finished One Year of Law School
It's been TWO days since my last final -- my very last for the semester, that is -- and I have been sitting around like a sloth for almost the entirety of those two days. Nothing seems urgent any more, and even if it were, I'm not sure I'd respond. My brain has gone numb.
The last day before my constitutional law exam (my last exam), I sat in a classroom for approximately 13 hours, studying with a group. I returned the next day and sat in another classroom for 9 hours straight -- the length of the exam. You'd think I'd had enough of sitting, but no. I could sit here brainless for days to come. I could sit and not move and not think at all for many more days.
Unfortunately this will not last long, as I will be returning to the world of the living by no later than Monday, when the responsibilities of my life come full circle and people once again expect something of me. "What does that mean?" you say. Well, it means more work, endless work, I've dug myself in a whole, and there's no way out now, work.
This summer I will be doing the following:
1. Working 5-10 hours a week for a professor at the law school doing editing and research on a book on international human rights law.
2. Working 40 hours a week in Philly with a public interest law firm.
3. Trying to catch up on what's really going with the eminent domain project that I have supposedly begun.
4. HOPEFULLY going back to Honduras to build a house; AND
5. HOPEFULLY keeping my sanity.
Wish me luck. I'm sure I'll need it.
