5 Weeks and Counting...

Crunch time is on and boy am I feeling it. I have 2 1/2 more weeks of classes and then finals get rolling. I will be honest I am absolutely FREAKING OUT right now! I have never felt something so impossible lay in front of me before. I worked on studying Torts today and feel like I know nothing let alone know how to apply anything. My mom reminded me of myself the other day. When I was four-years-old I couldn't clean my room because it was too overwhelming for me. So instead of cleaning, I just didn't do anything. I think it is that same reaction I am having right now. I feel so overwhelmed with the amount of work I need to finish to be prepared for finals.

So...this week I am supposed to be getting completely prepped for Torts, which will be my last final on December 12. Next week, I will outline and study for Contracts, my third final on December 9. The following week I will finish my outline for Civil Procedure, my final on December 5. The week of Thanksgiving, I have to get Criminal Law under control. Crim Law is unfortunately my first test and the test I think is going to be most difficult for me. There is so much to know and memorize and I am absolutely lost and overwhelmed.

In a nutshell, I feel so incapable right now. There is no way I can do this own my own power and that is a very unusual, uncomfortable position for me. I want to do well, but right now that seems so impossible. Please keep me in your prayers...

Hey Lori!
First, breathe deeply through your nose.
Second, remember what got you to where you are: Faith in Christ and His ability to do things through you.
Third, you are the daughter of the Risen King. Period. End of story. Nobody and no thing you cannot handle.
You can do this. Focus. Success is measured not only in the achievement but by the path one took to get to the achievement.

Now go forward and kick some tort!
