Countdown to the semester

I have 3 days of "vacation" left before the semester starts.

I'm not ready. My brain is still all cloudy and encumbered. Last semester plagued me for WAY to long, interfering with all the projects I needed to get on in order to be ready for the next semester. It's been fun travelling and seeing people - that part has actually recharged me - but I've been unable to better capitalize on the downtime to get a jump on the other projects. My brain is just so drained, and it's affecting my writing ability. I have all these lovely ideas and inspirations swirling about my head, but converting them into readable text has been surprisingly laborious, with the results astonishingly inelegant. This is not good, not when projects include sending (nondorky) cover letters and writing my journal note.

But I may have a little time even after the semester starts. I'm in 5 classes, but I get Fridays off. On MW I have Patents and Law and Ethics. On TTh I have Copyright, European Union Law, and Tuesdays also Trial Advocacy in IP. I may also be a research assistant for a professor, and I hope to start swimming. Last semester I was a bump on a log, and all my exercise resulted from walking to and from school. If I think I'd like to do triathlons ever again, I'm going to have to do better. So all that, plus the LSA plus the IP Society plus the job hunt, this will be my life for a while.

But not till Tuesday.

Arn't you worried that you don't seem to be taking many of the normal core corses (ie tax, corps, evidence, fed courts, etc)?

Not really. I already took corporations and evidence last semester. I presume I passed the exams, so I see no reason to take the courses again.

Ooops... Yah...
