Worker Bee... or not.
I am sore as hell, and I have no idea why. I finally sprung for a gym membership last month, and I've been going a few times a week... and I've never been this sore. I didn't even get to work out this weekend because I've been too busy, and I couldn't go this morning because I was stiffer than a comatose guy with morning wood. Mystery muscle pain... hmmn. Maybe I'm just sleepwalking into bar fights or something. Otherwise, I have no idea why I'm so damned sore. I was super active this weekend, between Tom's birthday, our friends Austin and Kris staying with us over the weekend, and Joey's one-year-old birthday party. (Which was VERY nice and well put together... I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer, Jess!) I also babysat an eight-month old Saturday night, which was wonderful birth control. I'm really just kidding here... he's very cute, well adjusted, and generally, just a happy baby. But, I did gain an incredible appreciation for the amount of hard work and energy it takes to take care of a child. As it is, I'm generally pretty lazy when it comes to just bumming around at home, and I like my sleep.
I've decided not to take the MPRE until the Spring. I looked up the rules on bar admissions, and if I miserably fail in the Spring, I can still take the MPRE after I sit for the bar, and the next examination is in August, after the Spring one. That, and maybe I'm being overconfident here, but I don't know anyone (who studied) who failed the MPRE, having to retake it at a later date. The reason for my slack-di-tude? I have to pump out a rough draft of my GWR by November 6, and the MPRE testing for this fall is on November 4th. And, there is a huge premium on my time right now... if I tried to undertake both, I'd probably lose my sanity. I like my sanity. I probably should have taken it this summer... but I didn't. See the whole thing about laziness in the above paragraph. Procrastinators unite tomorrow! All joking aside, despite the fact that I'm delaying the MPRE pain, I'm really, feeling quite motivated as far as getting shit done. For the next month, if you don't hear much from me, it's because I'm putting my GWR research together, or getting resumes out. I'm hoping to get in a few quiet weekends of work, with just a dash of personal alone time thrown in the mix for good measure.
