Apathy

Something about weeks 4-6 each term make me feel apathetic about school.

Weeks 1-3 are stress-filled, wondering how I did on my exams. Weeks 7-14 are spent with my nose to the grind, with a special push weeks 12-14. But weeks 4-6 are kind of just there.

The thought of actually working hard during this time just never seems to sink in. I have every intention of studying during these weeks. I get the book out, put it on the coffee table, and tell myself in an hour I'll crack it open and start reading. By the next morning, it's still there, sitting quietly on the coffee table, unopened, now covered in a small sprinkling of bird dust. Just in case there isn't enough bird dust, Big Bird will give an extra flap of her wings to scatter more.

The road to hell is paved with law school intentions, I guess.

Maybe it's post traumatic stress disorder from exams? Maybe it's just exhaustion that sinks in and it's my time to recoup. Either way, I could care less about studying right now. I did manage to spend four hours last night watching episodes of old television shows on DVD. So it's not that I'm completely lazy... just lazy about law school.

Oh well, week 7 will get here before you know it and I'll be back in the saddle again.
