Two exams (in class) are down. Two more major activities to go: today and tomorrow I need to finish my paper for Antitrust and IP, and then on Tuesday I will do a takehome exam for International Law Process. Then I'm sort of done. Over the break I will need to finish up some papers for Copyright and Rhetoric, and I will need to make significant progress on my note (major paper for the journal). And look for a job.
So this is not a good time for my muse to be taking a break. I know she's worked very hard all semester, but I really need her help still. I'm able to get good ideas on my own, but I'm having a harder time than normal conjuring up the correct words to express them when I sit down and try to write. I feel like my brain is very dry, and it needs some sort of lubrication so that I'll be able to properly access my vocabulary.
I have now horribly mixed metaphors, but it goes to my point...
