Day 603: Back on the up-and-up

nagi_schwarzSo I felt lame most of Tuesday. Also well into Wednesday. I got to school early to do some homework and then Adam swaggered in and basically stared at me until I talked to him. And Jason thinks I'm his bloody secretary. I told him, with a few brow-beatings, that I am not and he needs to get someone else to do his dirty work. And flattery, I have decided, will get him nowhere. Because I've noticed that he his a flatterer. Oh, it works with many girls, and he'll be a good lawyer for it, but for once I think my natural suspicion of flattery has done me well. There's being a friend and then being a secretary, and I think for him the line vanished a long time ago, so I've redrawn it. Firmly.
As it turns out, he didn't skip school on Tuesday for anything special - no court or any of that. He has a friend in town he's showing houses to, plus I think he said he was just feeling lame and wanted to get homework out of the way. In a sense that's good, because he sense his limits (and often I cannot see mine) but in another sense it's a bit reckless and almost selfish to take off just because you need an off day, especially when we're at the crunch time at the end. It's not like we can take personal days when we're professionals, short of a family funeral. I suppose it just irks me, that people have little sense of dedication these days.
Of course, in law school, everyone works hard, so what looks like a slump in dedication for us looks like back-breaking work to others.
Still.
I cheered up a bit, since I was reading Con Law. Double Con Law nearly killed us, and then we had property, but at least I've started it. My plan is to get all my homework for next week done this week so that I have all of next week to work on the motion brief of suck. That's life. It's gotta be done. I was full of lame yesterday and went home and basically slept. I got my wake-up call from the Sister Missionaries, who wanted me to go on a team-up to see Justin and Trevor, which was cool. I love hanging out with the Sister Missionaries, and it really cheered me up, plus I learned new things. Afterwards I hit up the art store and discovered that they have a seriously cool supply of origami paper, and the cute gay boy who worked the cash register conned me into getting a preferred customer card (free because I'm a student) and I know I'm gonna go back and drool over stuff I probably shouldn't buy (although I am itching for some paint for finished origami models, as well as some finer calligraphy brushes). Man, I wish I'd brought my origami books out with me. I get way more done when I don't goof around on the internet. Although I miss chatting with my friends. I should still set aside a night to chat with the gang, I guess.
I also swung by the Walgreens on the way home to pick up some Naked Juice. I love that stuff, but it makes me sleepy. Every time. I drank it while I did homework (to, sadly, old concert DVDs - although I maintain the Last Live is a very worthy cause) and got tired at around ten thirty. I pushed through till eleven just to get the homework done. I can do this. I *will* do this.
Just watch me.
It ended up being a pretty good day over all.
There are so many things I want to do, and it seems there's never enough time in which to do them. Hmmmm.
Today is the Supreme Court. I'm all dressed up. I'm gonna go watch lawyers get smacked down by judges.

You're one of the most amazing people I know. You WILL make it, and then you will be here for the summer and can relax. I think of you every day.
Love you,
Meg
