Law Students

I have a vague memory of a few installments around here of Thursday's Confessions. Either that, or I'm having bloglucinations. I gave up searching for a past example to link to after about 5 minutes - I got drawn into reading old blog posts, instead - there's a good use of time. Anyway, here's the latest edition of this on again off again feature.

1. I neglect friends. I don't do this on purpose, but I'm also not disclaiming my role in this embarrassing truth. I'm having trouble managing my time these days, and friendships often suffer as a result. Which isn't to suggest that I don't have any down time, but I get so little of it to myself these days that when the chance to relax and be alone arises, I want to do just that. I get this trait from my Mom - the need for alone time, not the neglect of friends. What it means for me is that on the rare occasion lately when I am not working or spending time with T, I use the time to recharge instead of reconnect.

2. I'm losing motivation. I'm losing the 'ganas,' as we say in my family, to bust my ass 24/7 for work. I've been pushing it pretty hard for well over 3 full months and a couple of days ago the tide began to turn. I'm not losing interest in my work - on the contrary, I like almost every single one of the matters in which I am involved. I'm just losing steam. Let's hope a vacation is the answer (I have one planned!), or else a year that began like gangbusters from a billable perspective is going to get ugly very quickly.

3. I'm a wimp. I almost made it to spring - less than 10 days to go! - without getting sick. And now I'm battling a cold. Yesterday morning, after showering, I got right back in bed and didn't drag my sorry ass into work until after 9:30 am. And last night it was lights out for me by 9:30 pm. Let's hope all this rest keeps the crud at bay.
