Tired...so tired...

This post is simply to let my mother know I'm still alive. Two weekdays without a blog post would surely be sufficient to file a missing person report...

Right now, I am experiencing the full weight of sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, mind over-fullness, confusion, and general not-knowing-what's-going-on.

I'll make this short, because I really don't have a point today, and I don't want to end up like one of those people who blogs about pointless, retarded crap that happens in their day, and all their posts end up sounding the same.

Today I left for school at 7:30 a.m., and I'm not getting home until 6:30 p.m. I haven't done anything but study and focus on school all day, until this moment. Law school is starting to press its full weight upon me, but my enthusiasm remains undaunted!!

I also got back my first legal brief today, and although it was ungraded and showed a relative paucity of comments by the T.A., it was thumbed-down on the basis of not being detailed enough, and also that I accidentally referred to "false imprisonment" as "illegal imprisonment." And I got a minus instead of a plus! How could I! Will they let me pass the bar now?! Aieee!

I've got to read some Constitutional Law now, and shove some more crap into my clogged mind. Hopefully it will all make sense someday...

Valerie, sorry to hear you are so overloaded, but thanks for posting to let me know you are alive, even tho I'm not even checking until Friday!

I understand about the long days. On Wednesday, I left the house for work at 7, went to the dentist (no cavities!) at 5, and right to school to pick up books and find my class. After class, being the good wife I am, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home and got home at 10:30 pm after leaving at 7 in the morning - yes a long one, thank goodness they are not all like that.

Hang in there, if other lawyers ahead of you can do it, certainly you can too! Love Mom
