Oh Right .... I'm in Law School

With everything that has to be done to keep Peanut alive and healthy, I sometimes forget that I'm in law school.  And then, all of a sudden on a Sunday afternoon it all comes rushing at me and I'm overwhelmed with things that have to be done.  And I'm not even talking about homework.  There are so many extra activities to complete during my 3L year; for example the MPRE, the ethics test that all attorney's have to take and pass, is in November.  I managed to remember to register and pay for the exam, but now I actually have to find time to study for this test.  And then there's all the prep work that has to be done for the Bar Exam.  Registering for Barbri, changing my Barbri location (from California to Georgia) filling out my Certification of Fitness Application (this thing is a beast and it looks like it might take me half a year, working full-time, to fill it out). 

Most of these things shouldn't take much time at all to complete.  Maybe just 10 minutes per item.  It's just that there's so many of them, and I don't actually have 10 uninterrupted minutes to complete them.  Granted, these are things that all law students have to do their third year, it's just that most of them do it childless.

I feel like I am running as fast as I can and cannot keep up no matter how hard I try.  I'm always just a little late to class, a little less prepared than my classmates, a little less showered, a little more hungry, a little (okay, a helluva lot) more tired. And it's hard to stay organized because there is so much going on that I will start to think about something I need to do, and before I can finish making a note of it, or filling out the online registration form for it, something else will pop into my head that also needs attention.  And right at that precise moment, Leah cries - and whatever organization I had going on in my head is completely lost.

And she is so worth it.
