the old man is snoring
You ever have those days where you're not sure how you're going to get through it? And its only 9am? That's today. But as always you know deep down that you'll figure out how to get an insurmountable amount of work into a short four weeks---possibly not at the best quality, but it will get done and the holidays will be around the corner.
As for Tuesday:
Tuesday was one of those days I remembered why I love California, even over Washington D.C. It was damn warm, in the 70's and in the trees were beautiful colors. On my way home to do my civic duty I looked out onto the Sacramento River and marvled at it's sparklyness, Sigh, I guess this is fall, full of bittersweetness. The beauty of fall giving way to the cold of winter and dead trees. My mood was bittersweet, sad over some personal issues but content with the weather and beauty plus excited to perform my civic duty.
At the end of the night after stinging pain, and difficult decisions, I was SO surprised and happy to find out we won the house back and possibly the Senate. Liz and I headed off to a Q and R party.
I talked to my dad on the phone and said, we'll that made my day, he said how about month? or year? ya perhaps. :)
Now the cold has come, four 10-15 page papers lie ahead of me, research trips to berkeley etc. But I'm trying to psych myself out into being ok with the cold...mostly just a way to trick myself into thinking law school in D.C. could be ok.
I feel beaten down but refreshed. I've faced a few issues this week and baked cookies. Next weekend Palm Springs, thank goodness!
