Finals Weeks = Final weeks...

...of my sanity.

Before coming to law school, plenty of people told me "you need to save your personality and your social life to disk before you enter law school, and then reboot it when you graduate."

I guess the point of this cumbersome and somewhat technically incorrect analogy was to emphasize the fact that law school would take up every single waking hour of your life to the exclusion of friends, fun, and frivolity.

After coming to Boalt, I quickly learned that this wasn't necessarily true. I had plenty of fun and my share of frivolity, with plenty of studying time to spare. I'm convinced that whoever said that you couldn't have a life in law school was obviously not a Boaltie.

But now that finals are around the corner, I'm realizing that there may have been some truth to that saying, at least during finals. Every single day this week I've been waking up early, going to class/review sessions, then outlining in the library until my brains fall out. Each day, I've gotten home no earlier than 1:00am, only to go to bed and start again the next day. I haven't had time to call friends, email, blog, or even cook dinner. To everyone who I've been meaning to call: Sorry! Chris will be back in a few weeks.

So here I am, on a Friday night, in the library. *Looks at watch* Shit! I gotta get back to work!

P.S. if you see any new blog entires, the likelihood is that I already had them pre-written and pending in Blogger. Just one more reason why I like the Big B better than Xanga...
