tomorrow only knows

Um, I need to stop talking to myself while writing this memo.

I’m freaking myself out. Even though Eli is right next to me … I guess I could just pretend I’m talking to him.

I went to an "exam prep" workshop tonight.

It was taught by a former professor at my school who has been giving this same workshop for 35 years so apparently he knows what he’s talking about? And he actually had some good advice and I think it will be helpful.

But … he gave us this schedule. The schedule is intense. He basically breaks every day, start Nov. 16th, down into 4 hour blocks and tells you what subject you need to be working on that day. For a horrible procrastinator like me (although I have gotten SO much better at not procrastinating since I started law school … like seriously, college me would not even recognize law school me) it helps to have a calendar that says - today study Civil Procedure for 4 hours.

I’m going to try really hard to stick to the schedule (especially the part about getting my final memo due by the 15th) but I’m a little worried. It doesn’t leave much room for naps. Or primetime TV. And I love my naps. TV I can deal without thanks to Hulu. And there are still like 7 months of hockey left so I can miss a few games. But naps? That one is going to be tough.

I'm Eli's hero.

I just rescued his favorite toy from underneath the ottoman. I guess it’s been under it all day and he couldn’t get to it. He was so happy to get Figment back. And now we’re playing fetch :)

They went to great lengths to explain how there's no sound in space

mattgorman:

And to show what “a real space battle would look and sound like.” And they show a cliche space battle with a bunch of laser sounds.

I’m pretty sure you are watching the best show ever. I hope they replay it at some point, I would love to watch a simulated space battle.

That will be good information to have when I graduate law school and become a space lawyer.

Um, did we have Daylight Savings again today?

Because I fell asleep on the couch with Eli watching 30 Rock … and when I woke up it was like 5:45 … and then I procrastinated a little more before I started to do my reading … but then I was done with my reading at like 6:45. And I had a lot of reading to do (ok, not a lot, but over 20 pages) and it had to have taken me longer than an hour. I’m very confused.

Just bought my floppy disk drive so I can take my exams (4 weeks, ahhh!). I don’t remember the last time I used a floppy disk … probably to play Oregon Trail in elementary school. Apparently law school is stuck in 1996.

I also had to order a battery last night because my almost 2 year old MacBook Pro gets less than an hour of battery life. Awesome. But whatever, with my new battery and uh, floppy disk drive, it will seem like I have a brand new computer!
