Busy Busy Bee
I'm a mess. I have been so freakin busy this week w/ work & school, in two days I managed to: 1) run out of gas on the freeway and 2) forget my cell phone at a restaurant, realizing that after we had made it all the way home. The gas thing was a pisser, I couldn't believe it. I haven't run out of gas since I was 16! I thought I had learned my lesson. DH had to come get me b/c I was at some weird spot on a freeway merge ramp thing & no way could I have given directions to AAA, husband barely found me. It was another 2 hours in the car.
I've been at school late every night this week. I had to go the this mandatory Lexis & Westlaw training (indoctrination) which was a complete waste of time. It seriously should have been done in orientation, I learned nothing. More cheap free crap w/ their names on it. We are getting into legal research soon, I am wondering if anyone is going to tell us that there are alternatives to these two companies (rarely used but still) like books or Findlaw.
And then the keys, exhausted I went out to dinner w/ the parents, DH & monkey, then left my phone. DH went and got. He has been so sweet through all of these craziness, for two nights in a row I have running all over the place to clean up after me.
I have had a ruff first month! but I am entering into Week 6. This week's puzzler why is rent privity of estate? but leases are contracts (privity of contract) rent just seems like it should be PK? I'm confused......
Unfortunately, Westlaw and Lexis don't go away. I couldn't stand those training sessions either, but I definitely like the nice travel mugs I received! Sounds like you are incredibly busy -- stick with it. I honestly thought I would quit after my first year, but everything improved dramatically second year. Third year seems pretty easy so far. I have a 3L friend with a 2.5 y-o who faces many of the same struggles, always fighting to make time for her little girl. Just try not to take on too much. As far as I am concerned, just keep your priorities in line and you'll be okay. For me, God, family and friends come first -- period. Good luck!!!
