10 minute break...

So...I am giving myself a 10 minute break to do a little blogging. Seriously...I have to limit it to 10 minutes otherwise I will procrastinate for a good hour during which I should have been studying!

Today is "Two Week Tuesday"! Huh?!?!? you ask...Two weeks from today I will have completed writing my first final for law school. Can hardly believe it is only two weeks away! Still so much studying to do between here and there especially since I haven't done any studying for that final yet. My goal is to finish my Civil Procedure outline by Thursday. Work on Torts again on Friday and Saturday morning. Starting on Saturday afternoon, nothing but Criminal Law until the final on Tuesday, Dec. 2. I hope that is a good plan. We'll see. Everything is so suspect because I've never done this before and don't know if I am going about it correctly.

You would be amazed at the changes around school as finals approach. The student lounge is often empty even in the middle of the day where normal it is packed with students hanging out, laughing and having a good time. Any students in the lounge tend to be busy studying...go figure! The library is nuts. I haven't studied there for weeks. Too many people around equals too much noise. Luckily, I have been blessed with a couple of sweet study spots that seem to be working for me right now. Also, you see a lot of students with Ipods on and not necessarily for the "coolness" of it. Ipoding right now is a brilliant thing. It allows you to avoid the head games that go on. I have a really hard time hearing people talk about all the studying they have done and freely demonstrating their knowledge of a subject. I often have to battle my mind and not compare myself. Putting on headphones or avoiding other students has really helped me. Unfortunately, it is very isolating, but I figure it is just for a couple of weeks and then I can reenter society.

I have found myself back in the gym of late. This is a good thing although sometimes it is hard to close the books, put my tennis shoes on and work out. Such a stress reliever and for that one hour of workout my mind is often free of school and life. Also good because I really need to get back into the gym and take care of my physical self. Thankfully, God is giving me support in this area. A couple of my friends drag me into the gym with them. Accountability is a good thing.

Ok...my ten minutes is up! Gots to go back into isolation mode! Hope you are all well!
