Anti-Climatic

So last week turned out to be insane. I don't really know if I will recover from it ever, but if it's any indication that recovery is a long way off, I took the entire day off yesterday (unheard of) and spent it doing nothing of importance (by the way, I don't recommend going to any shopping areas the Saturday before Thanksgiving).
Why was last week so insane? The Memo. Yes, the dreaded memo. It's done now-- 18 hr, 20 emails to the prof, an hr citation session with the TA... but it's done. Is it good? Uhhhh no. But it's done. And turned in. I am sure I could have made it better if I had tweaked it more, or somehow made it clearer. But there comes that time when it's just better to let it go then to try and work with it anymore. So Thursday night at 8pm I printed it out and was done... turned it in at 8:26AM on Friday. Not that I was looking at my watch or anything (that's 4 days and 4 min early for anyone who's counting). But it was done. It was like turning in my thesis--completely anticlimatic. All that hard work and effort... for what? Nothing. It was just done and finished. I won't know till the end of January what I got on it, but do I really care? I dunno... I would like to say "I don't care at all what I got because I know I did a good job on it..." But I do care. A bit. Ok, a lot a bit. I want to do well on it. I want to get an A in Legal Writing. Ironically, I am fine with getting a B in every single class as long as it isn't Legal Writing. Weird, no? But it's done & over now. That's 1 class done, 5 more to go.

FIVE?! Yes, FIVE. Unlike most other rational law schools, mine does year long blocks for every class. Insane? Apparently it's to help us retain the info more. Really I think it's just to torture us with 5 finals both semesters. Ugh. More on this later.

For now I am going to stare out at the rainy sky on this Sunday and marvel at the fact that I still feel numb, 48 hr after finishing the biggest assignment I have done in 2 years...
