time flies, even when there's no fun whatsoever

turns out thanksgiving is next week. who knew? evidently, the whole world besides myself. this really only means 2 things: 1) it's that much sooner until i finally make it home for thanksgiving and stuff myself, and 2) boy am i fucked.

the thing about law school is, you really should make, or at least study from, outlines because they are one of the best ways to keep the information organized. i prefer to make my own, because it categorizes the info in my mind as i do it, and also puts the info in an order that makes sense to me. but now there are only 3 weeks left in the semester, including this one, and all i have is part of tax outlined, as well as hearsay for evidence. man oh man, white boy's in a world of hurt.

this really just means that instead of drinking thanksgiving away while watching football, i'll be hard at work for much of the time. of course, i have to keep things in perspective. i will still see friends, still go to the football game, still go out at night. but during the days there will be much less sloth than previously anticipated and presently desired.

but at the same time, i think home might be an optimal place to get some of this done. my parents will help with the dog (after all, they miss him for than they miss me), meals will be made for me, and other stupid errands/cleaning won't need to be done. so that will be nice.

also, as luck would have it (maybe, you'll see what i mean), i have one exam on the first day and the other three towards the end of exam period. however, those last 3 fall within 2 days, including 2 back to back on one of the days. this is because i'm in a class that i hadnt taken at my other school which is a first year class here. since the rest of my classes are 2nd year, scheduling conflicts because normally people dont take both 1st and 2nd year classes. gotta love the benefits of transferring.

moral of the story: shit. i'm gonna have to bust my ass these next few weeks, but i've never let myself down in the past, so i'm sure it'll all work itself out. that's what i'm banking on.
