Time Keeps on Slipping
I got an email last week letting me know that my auto-payment for my paid user account was about to go through and would I like to cancel payment? I was kind of ambivalent about it, but ambivalent + auto-pay + passage of time = paying for another year. Meh. So I figured I might as well post something. Spending money on something I'm not using makes me squirmy, though even if I only post once a month, the LJ fee really is perfectly reasonable. I don't mind spending money on things I use, even if it's not terribly often.
I'm also putting off working on my legal writing homework. I'm not entirely sure why. I know more or less what needs to be done on it. It's going to be a fair amount of work, but not overwhelming, especially if I don't leave it until the last minute to do (watch me leave it to the last minute). I suppose I'm just having one of those days where pushing past the funk just isn't happening. I did get most of my property homework done, though, and even feel like I understood it. Retention, on the other hand, is more concerning. I'm pretty sure that's going to be a closed book exam, which is going to blow money chunks.
Yesterday was my birthday. Another thing that keeps happening when I'm not paying attention. Being 26 was pretty good, but I'm fine with seeing what happens with 27. One of my friends turned 27 three days before me joked about being in our late 20s now. Again, I don't mind. I'm happier, saner, more social and better looking than I was when I was 17, so it's hard to find anything to complain about. There's always that little voice in the back of my head nagging about biological clocks and whatnot, but I'm good with ignoring that one for at least until I'm out of law school.
Five and a half weeks until the last day of classes, and eight weeks until the end of exams and the end of my first year. I'd feel more zen about it if I had work lined up for the summer, but so it goes. Something will turn up. I was talking to my mom this morning about working on the novel again. It's hard to focus on it with so much else demanding attention, but it would be nice to get into writing again this summer.
