Sleepy Should Equal Sleep

I'm suffering from, well, I suppose insomnia. I am very tired, but I can't manage to fall asleep. I can't believe it is April. I mean honestly, what happened to the first quarter of the year? I'm okay with it being April as it means I'm closing in on the end of my first quarter of law school and while I'm not looking forward to finals, I am looking forward to crossing 1 out of the 9 quarters off my mental list. I am continuously told the first year is the hardest, so I'm trying to shove through this first year and see if people are right or just all suffering odd delusions in memory.

I'm heading home tomorrow, well today. And naturally I feel guilty for leaving my kitties. But I'm not taking them for two reasons: 1) only gone for one day so the car time for them would be a little mean 2) the car ride for me is more stressful with them in the car and it wouldn't be worth it for one night. So there it is, I worry either way.

My contracts professor told us today that she's not assigning any new reading over Easter weekend and I wanted to get out of my chair and kiss her feet. I was a little stressed about going home for Easter, but I think now it's doable. I think I might even be able to go home and get some outlining done too! Oh the joy of that.

I have a few lofty (well to me) goals for next quarter. First off, I'm not beating around the bush and waiting to get a study guide for my new classes. I think it might be the best way to insure you get a good grasp on the material. Class+Reading+Own Briefs+Outling+Study Guide=(or should) good understanding of the material and easier time studying for the final. The other thing (as i can only thing of two on my list right now) is that I'm going to start outlining from the first weekend and keep it up to date every weekend. I realize this isn't very likely to happen, but hopefully I'll start strong and then catching up later won't be so hard.

Okay, the chickens are stilling in their cages and Mr Monkey is holding his cup of steaming chamomile tea with a disapproving look on his face. I'm going to attempt to go to sleep now.
