Matilda

Did I mention that this week is tough...? Our Contracts prof is doing a lecture series next week, which means that we don't have any Contracts next week... which means that THIS week we have three Contracts classes back to back, and next week we have three Property classes back to back. This manifests itself in HUGE amounts of reading in the same topic. 

The reason I titled this entry "Matilda" is because I feel like the eponymous Roald Dahl heroine (yeah, I know it's a snobby word but I LOVE it, so there). For the past two years I've been very mentally frustrated and understimulated. I've wanted my brain to hurt. In 'Matilda,' the precocious child developed telekinetic powers because her brain was so underused. Once she began taking college classes (I think she was seven), she lost her powers because her brain was finally being challenged. 

Now that I'm in law school, I definitely have the brain pain... in a good way. I really did miss mental challenge. I no longer feel the frustration I felt while 'working' in the real world. It's a good feeling right now... I just hope that I eventually find a job that balances the working-for-money and the make-K's-brain-hurt elements that I seem to require. 

Sorry if this is jumbled... I'm honestly half-thinking about the Contracts problem that we were assigned for today's class...
