It has been a strange week so far. The Death Flu of Death and Pain and Destruction™ is not as bad as it was Sunday/Monday but it’s still here with me and that really worries me. The ProRep final is coming up soon and I really need to be at 100% and I’m just not there yet. As the wise and caring Tim Gunn says, “Make it work.”
Indeed.

A funny thing about law school is that, for a lot of people, it’s very business oriented. Which is to say that people are in law school to get stuff done. Get in, do well, get your degree, move on with life. The whole law school environment can also be off-putting because it’s competitive and one’s grades are contingent on the grades of everyone else due to the curve. So, it can be tough to actually really get to know people, and – conversely – open yourself up to people. Coming into law school I didn’t know anyone, and in the first month or two I ended up joining a study group with three others. We were, and are, pretty different with respect to ages, politics, general world views, etc. But strangely enough it worked and we survived the first semester together. And now, as 2L is closing up on the horizon, one of us was kicked out and another one of us is taking a leave of absence for the fall semester. Eh, so it goes and we’ll likely have the latter guy back in the Spring. It’s just weird to feel that of the few friendships one makes…
It’s been an off day for an off month. Last week was great: Running everyday, feeling in control, working on my short stories…and this week it all somehow fell apart and I just kinda want a hug. Or a run. Or someone to run with..and then hug? I dunno. I’m off my game.
