Viva

Well, in two weeks time, I'll be enjoying myself. I'm going to perhaps the only place where a boy like me can be happy. Dinosaur World? No, Las Vegas. I'm going with a good buddy of mine and we're going to do our best to live like rockstars. That's always much easier when you're winning money instead of losing it. So if you're in a nice mood, how about sending some positive energy my way. I need the cards to be good to me. Hopefully I can take it from there.

I won't be seeing many of the usual faces this year for New Years, but that's ok by me. New Years is usually vastly overrated. It is a relationship killer. It is all hype and a big let down. But this year is going to be different. I'll be surrounded by people I don't know, who, much like me, will be looking to let loose and have fun. I can't wait.

On another note, congratulations to me and several of my partners in crime for passing the first half of the bar. The only thing that stands between me and the legal profession is one more semester and one more (big) standardized test. I think you hear me knocking, and I think I'm coming in.

Procrastination


My last final is a take home, due on Friday. I've made some progress on it, but truth be told, considering the time I've had, I've been terribly inefficient. I've had conversations with other people about this, and I've found many people are the same way. Some of them take Ritilin or Adderal, some don't. I don't want to. So I've been doing some research on procrastination, in the hopes that by learning about it, I can learn how to either compensate for it or change.

In other words, while procrastinating I decided to research procrastination. And I think I found some good information out. I think I need to do some serious research on personal development. I need something to guide me towards becoming more efficient. Like most things, it's mind over matter, but the fact that I know that isn't enough. Most people need some guidance to behave they way that they would like to. It's a learned behavior, like anything else. So now its time to teach myself how to behave.

Good things can come from procrastination.

The Homestretch


Well, in a few days I'll be officially 5/6th of the way through with law school. I'd like to thank all the little people. It wasn't that long ago that I was a 1L, sitting there, hoping I wasn't called on. Now everything seems repetitive and mostly boring. But lets be honest, this is my 21st year of school. Enough is enough.

So I feel that some sort of celebration is in order for this somewhat auspicious occasion. So what to do? Vegas!

I will be ringing the New Year in a little place called Las Vegas. There aren't many places I'd rather be when the clock strikes midnight. It's going to be one to remember. More on this to come.
