I suppose it is time for an update. Classes were back in session this week and they've been pretty action packed. We have actually been preparing for my oral argument which took place today. If you are not sure what an oral argument is, it is basically a mock trial. We presented the arguments discussed in our appellate briefs that were handed in earlier this month. The oral argument went a lot better than I was expecting and my partner and I did fairly well. I'm pleased with our performance and it feels awesome to have gotten it out of the way. Also, I secured a job at the District Attorney's office this summer which is exactly what I wanted. All in all, as far as law school goes, this week has been a decent week for me.
Now to the lows: I guess it really isn't much of a low as I cannot pinpoint exactly what it is, but I just haven't been feeling myself lately. My appetite is gone and I feel kind of stuck in a rut. I'm unmotivated, which is strange because I'm still in school and have been putting in more work than ever ... but it seems like it's never enough and I feel really really burnt out. It's a little scary because (1) It's only first year so I have a long way to go and (2) It's March and we're only a few weeks away from finals so I need to get it together. I'm not sure what to do about it and I almost feel bad that I feel this way because I literally wake up in one of the most beautiful places on earth every day but I just haven't been appreciating anything lately. It's all very strange ...
