So I guess I should talk a bit about law school, per my recent rant about wanting to get this blog refocused on that journey. So what happens when, just before your 2L year, you get divorced, have major surgery, emotionally breakdown, continue to struggle with evil neuropathic pain and have an awesome job with responsibility that increases by the minute? Um, yeah, law school kind of gets overlooked a bit…
I’ve actually been doing pretty good keeping up on my reading and I am thoroughly enjoying the subject matter of all of my classes. However, my outline for my only exam-based class is non-existent and apparently during the storm I managed to miss a paper deadline for my negotiations class. OOPS!!! Now I have two due tomorrow (double oops!) and each one is 10% of my grade. Crap. Needless to say, I’m going to be up late…
Bottom line = major life changes during law school? Ill-advised.
P.S. On the plus side, my kid is up, dressed, fed, bathed, book-read and loved every day. I, too, manage to get up and successfully dressed most days and even dry my hair – going with the “if you look good, maybe you’ll feel good” theory. If you see me in a greasy ponytail and sweats, you know I’m having a crap day.

Blech. I suck so much. As in really suck.
I’ve had such a hectic, horrible summer that I’ve barely had time to check in – and I didn’t even notice that you’ve been going through a really tough time. So, now I’m all caught up – but that doesn’t excuse the suckage.
I am sooo sorry that things have been so tough. Really.
Things will get better, they always do.
