Yep, the law school study-a-thon is four days in the works and one thing is clear: I AM SICK OF STUDYING!!! The fact that four days has passed me by is alarming for three reasons. First, I’ve only concentrated on one subject – professional responsibility – and I’m still nowhere near where I need to be. Second, I’ve spent approximately four days trying to figure out how to not take the exams (now or in the future). I think I’ve determined it’s not possible to get a law degree without graduating from law school. And to graduate from law school, I need to take (and pass) the exams. Third, I cleaned the kitchen this morning. The fact that I would prefer to clean than to do something else shows something is wrong.
Above is a picture that shows my condition 4 days in. Take note of a couple of things:
1. I am growing my finals beard (which supposedly will help me get through this). I am slightly worried that it will not actually help. I am also worried it will not make it through finals (I think I may have to make a trip down to the office to wrap up some stuff that won’t get wrapped up otherwise).
2. Consistent with the beard growth, I have broken out the flea and tick treatment (located next to my computer. And yes, it is necessary. See the comment below regarding my outfit for the next few weeks). There is now the distinct scent, nay, stench of peppermint and cinnamon (which oddly enough smells like pine when combined) lingering throughout the house.
3. Yes, I am using Hayley’s boppy – generally reserved for breastfeeding mothers – as a book prop. It makes it easier to highlight passages that someone (other than me) finds important.
4. I am wearing my 1988 Tecmo Bowl championship t-shirt. For the next few weeks, I will be a champion. (I am also wearing my flannel pants...and will continue to do so for the next few weeks.)
5. I am smiling for the picture. At this moment in time, that is my happy face.
Four days down, 20 days to go.
