September already?

It's amazing how there's always more to do - I really have been working around the clock and the "to-do" list just keeps growing. I definitely have a better handle on my schedule and my assignments this year than I did as a 1L. Even though I have committed to more (much more), I am keeping everything pretty well balanced so far. Last year I think I wasted time on things that weren't as important; this year I don't have the luxury of extra time, so I don't make that mistake.

I'll write a longer post with actual tangible reflections re: 1L vs. 2L year. I have quite a bit to say on that subject. Right now, though, I'm trying to finish up my assignment for tomorrow's Evidence class... then I need to prep and write my Comment topic proposal for Law Review... then I need to do some research for my Evidence professor (just an hour or so)... then I need to research for my Law & Society paper (thesis is due in 2 weeks and I need to read more articles to put that together)... after that it will probably be Wednesday... at which point I have to prep for classes and keep juggling. I have so much going on at once - the key will be not to let anything fall behind. 

The poor house, however, is getting very little of my attention. We're poised in a state of half-unpack. Some of our possessions are still in boxes. Some are on the floor in piles because we haven't had time to buy any tables/containers/shelves. There are no pictures on the walls. Such is life... I'll deal with it the next time I'm free (which will probably be June of 2010. No kidding, I'll be working straight through Christmas break this year. More on that later).
