NOT Stressed

My TOTAL lack of stress about tomorrow's exam worries me a little, but just a little. I wonder vaguely whether I should be studying a bit more, but then the other, unstressed part of my brain dismisses that thought quickly. :)

I did finish outlining, mostly from my notes, but it's a very crappy outline. What do you expect from a class where I only took 30 (29.5, to be exact) pages of class notes? To be fair, it's a hard class to outline for. Much of the class was spent on discussions and debates and group projects and video clips and moot courts. It's the reason why I like the class so much. Also, much of the course material involves policy arguments for or against a position ("is polygamy desirable?" "Are incest laws justifiable on the bases of arguments that also justify same-sex marriage?" etc.) and that kind of stuf is really hard to outline for. Let's just hope Prof B. doesn't do an aboutface and give a really doctrinal exam!

Speaking of Prof B, I'm doing a bit of RA work for him, which is perhaps not the wisest decision given all my other work, but it sure will be fun. Met with him this morning and he already gave me a ton of work. But really looking forward to actually doing this because this stuff is just so INTERESTING. In fact, we started talking in his office about some of the issues and before we knew it, began arguing about them again. Since family law is so close to everyone's lives, it's just not possible to hear about one of these cases without having an opinion, and in most cases, a strong opinion. I love it!

Well, I suppose I should go and read the half a dozen cases that I didn't get around to reading today. It will be an early night for me, and hopefully tomorrow night I will still feel calm and relaxed (and not kicking myself for not studying more.)

In other news, I'm so fed up with the cold weather, and it looks like it's going to continue for the foreseeable future. So... I finally broke down and purchased a space heater this afternoon, because my bedroom is just too cold at night and I'm tired of bundling up in bed. So my room should be warm and toasty tonight, though fraught with fire hazard... If I don't post in the next few days... :-)
