It is still completely UNstressful, and I still like having more free time, but seriously. It is HARD to give a shit!! Really really really HARD.

I have a first draft due on my brief in Appellate Advocacy tomorrow, and I uh, don't have much of it done. I did research (a lot) today - but I didn't ever take fingertips to the keyboard. I don't even REALLY have any authorities to cite. I have some bull to pull out of my butt, but no real cases that scream LISTEN TO ME!!! Which is not very fun.

Next Weds., I have an outline due for my paper on Afghanistan. My issue is whether the (informal) jirga courts which have functioned as the adjudicatory authority in that country throughout all the turmoil (and SIX constitutions!) of the past 75 years can be incorporated into the new state system, as established under the Constitution of 2004. There is some scholarship out there talking about how they (the jirgas) must be dismantled and discredited before the state system can be taken seriously - and I'm gonna say - nuh uh.

How can I turn that infantile contrariness into a full blown outline? and then paper?

beats the hell out of me.

and i kind of don't care!!

I don't care about professional responsibility. i feel perfectly capable of cramming for the MPRE in the week before the test. I've been doing the reading - so it won't be cold.

And Tax .... well, that one's kind of fun. And it's my only REAL exam. Perhaps that's why I like it? Perhaps I'm not a "paper-class" kind of gal? I thought it was just the third year slump. Maybe I just don't like being my own master.

Well, tomorrow's draft and next week's outline are not required by ME. So I'll have to find some other explanation for not being a "paper-class" kind of gal.

but maybe it has nothing to do with third year?
