Sunday, August 16, 2009. Second year of law school starts tomorrow.
Tonight I did everything I could think of to procrastinate: laundry, deep cleaning of entire apartment, dishes, put laundry away, caught up on messages and e-mail things, made lunch, put out my clothes for tomorrow (yes, I do that every night). I think I'm procrastinating going to sleep, even though I'm super tired, because I'm not sure I'm ready to wake up and have it be tomorrow. I just can't believe it. If I were on Cape Cod, I'd be going to Four Seas for one last summer ice cream on the beach/skinny dipping.
I remember what I wore to the first day of first grade. My favorite grey and pink stripped dress. I actually think I wore that for a few years in a row, I loved it so much.
I'm half dreading this because last year was so crazy and busy. I felt like I was working 12-15 hours a day, 7 days a week. Running at 5 a.m. Pack lunch and dinner, or eat dinner around 11 p.m. But, half of me is hopeful - maybe my classes will be more aligned with my interests. Maybe I won't have to put in so many hours. Maybe I will learn "the system." Maybe it will be less stressful. Maybe I'll have less anxiety about the whole thing? Maybe.
No call to wish me luck on the first day. I guess that's what happens when you grow up.
Oh Carrie,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry! I have just been exhausted lately with everything. On Sunday, I was helping out Donovan, and then went to Maryland to pack Diana's stuff at Grandma's. On Monday, you won't even believe the long day I had (taking Donovan to his doctor's appointment, we "stopped at best buy" on the way home which was about a 3 hour ordeal the first time that day, and then I had a meeting with my adviser, took another 1 hour trip to best buy and came back to start packing for the Cape). I was thinking about you though! Hope everything went well!
Love, Bellie
