To have a life or not...

A really rather difficult question at the moment. I've decided I'm going to make an attempt to have a life outside of law school, but I have come to realize that I picked a really, really bad time to do so... I have so much to do, but I'm still going out. I went out last night, not getting in until 1am, and then met up with someone pretty much right after I woke up this morning (late, of course) and didn't get home until shortly after 8pm. This of course means I have still not written my summary judgement brief. So now here it is, Sunday night, and I have to finish this, hopefully in three hours or less... We'll see whether or not it happens. Thank God I don't have crim tomorrow, because not only is that a class I don't have to read for, but that also gives me time to prepare for Contracts, where I'm on for one of the problems... I keep telling myself that after this week, by my birthday, things will be better. At long as I tell myself that, I have hope!

Summary Judgement

Why, oh why can't I just write this already? I know what arguments I have to make. I know what facts I have to include. I know what cases support my points. And yet, as I sit here in front of my computer for hour #3, still nothing comes... Well, at least nothing with regards to my motion for summary judgement. Is this merely my procrastination taking over, as it is not actually due for three more days? Or is it the result of a week of too much going on, and Friday is typically my night to just relax and not even think about school, let alone do homework. Whatever the reason, here I am beginning a new blog instead of writing about why Laura Hill was fired merely because of her missed deadlines rather than her CFIDS, and that her claim must fail because Fox did indeed provide her with reasonable accommodations, her request for extended accommodations are unreasonable. Perhaps merely knowing my facts/cases/arguments will suffice for the meeting tomorrow. Damn this having to be prepared... Sometimes I wonder why it is that I didn't do this weeks ago, when I was actually motivated and excited (yes, I am aware of how sick it is to be excited about doing legal research...) to really get into it, but then I remember, oh yes, I have an incredibly worthless-but still time consuming-project, three other classes, and several extra activities. Oh, and I'm attempting to have a life. So when does that leave time for a paper that is not due for another week or two? It doesn't. Which is why I'm here at 12:20am, lamenting about how I can't get it done. Hmmm.... Now that my rant has come, in a way, full circle, I guess it's time to get back to work. Or to sleep. We'll see which it is later...
