Well, I finally wrote that paper. I was feeling good. All that weight lifted off my shoulders, weekend approaching. Good stuff. But then the bomb got dropped. I have 10 legal briefs due tomorrow. They take about an hour a piece and I've been working on them on and off all day. I have five done. Only five more to go. This time I'm going to try to just do them with minimal thought and anxiety. Here we go. After this it's officially the weekend, and you better believe I'm going to celebrate.
In other news, tomorrow I'm going to a Buddhist temple for meditation for the second time. The first time I went was incredibly rejuvinating. I've never been to any sort of religious gathering with such a beautiful and positive message. The thing that stood out the most to me was when the monk told us that if you are practicing and it's making you less happy you're doing it wrong. Buddhism is supposed to make you happy and friendly and able to let things go. I had been personally averse to organized religion for a long time, but I think I was grouping organized faith and organized religion into a false category. I hope it's as good this week as it was last time.
