how we spend our time

LIfe marches on, in spite of the intensity of law school. At first it was possible to put things off, but soon you realize that with 4 years of this, you have to figure out what to hang onto, what to let go of, and how to fit in what you must. My elderly parents are at my house for a week, and while they profess to understand that I need to study, still they talk to me and around me as I try. I need every part of a weekend to study, and now I know I'm giving up many hours to cooking and hosting. And yet, I can't just ignore them. They may well not be here when I finish law school, and they try very hard. And besides, life goes so quickly. Second year is all consuming. I know I said that about first year, but it's more true this year! And still exciting, intellectually stimulating and engaging. Except sometimes on Thursday night in Evidence.
