Another Sunday at school

So I spent every minute since the brief playing catch-up. When faced with a looming deadline (a 75% of your grade deadline), it's easy to push everything else aside to focus on finishing in time. Sadly, this means that whenever the deadline is met, there are four other remaining classes with oodles of readings waiting for you! Hence the lack of blog entries.

Here I sit in the basement of my school (because the library doesn't open until 9am on Sundays - it's sad, actually. The motion-sensor lights just turned off so I'm in the semi-dark), mentally preparing for round 2 of oral arguments. My partner and I (in a moment of sheer insanity) volunteered to be "heros," which means arguing in a round just for "fun" because there are uneven numbers of teams and a pair of Appellees needed opponents. However, my partner was emailed to say that her hero round was canceled, so it's just me... she is a little bitter I'm "cheating" on her, but I told her it wouldn't count if I didn't enjoy it...

First "fun" round is at 10:30-12:00, then the "graded" round with my partner is from 2:00-3:30. I put "graded" in quotes because it's really only a pass/fail. The grade-grade is from moot court, to determine the finalists for best oralist. 

Anyway, the point of this entry is that it's very early on Sunday, I am at school sitting in the dark, and I'm looking forward to another week of playing catch-up. Also I'm questioning my sanity just a little bit... so basically, it's a normal law school weekend!

P.S. C leaves for DC on Monday, just for a week this time, but that also makes things a little more hectic.
