This week is finally over, and I'm very relieved. I have been so tired and really not used to this schedule yet.
I have finalized my schedule. Strangely, after a week of agonizing, my schedule remains largely unchanged, other than dropping that one seminar and adding Local Government Law instead. I'm taking: admin law (with the same prof), corps (the serious one, though I'm auditing the other one b/c I'm quite a groupie :)), local gov law, an independent writing project with beloved Prof M., and finally, my 2 year-long semiinars.
I tried to find a course that could fit into my schedule at the college, but since the law school operates on a strangely different schedule from the university, this made it EXTREMELY hard to cross-register. In the end (after much agonizing), I gave up.
On Wednesday night I had a long conversation (3 hours) with friend E that left me agitated and insomnic for much of the night, so only slept 3 hours. (Really the first time it's happened since the end of the exam season last year when I started using sleeping pills heavily).
On Thursday night, I went to a symphony in the city (free tix from friend DA!) with JJ and listened to a lot of Beethoven and a little bit of nonsense Schoenberg thrown in for contrast, or something. The Beethoven was lovely. The Schoenberg was... less so, but interesting. Though I usually could only take those about 5 minutes at a time, and after the 5 minutes I was quite ready for it to be over, but had to endure 15 more minutes of it. :)
And tonight, I went to a conference, then to a screening of Babel sponsored by the conference. I liked Babel until the very end, but the ending felt too neat and not as emotionally powerful as it could have been (or as the rest of the film was geared up to be). I still highly recommend it though. Reallyl interesting, intertwined plotlines, excellent acting, superb cinematography, etc. Then had an excellent dinner sponsored by the same conference, where I sat with LC. I had to restrain myself very hard to not eat the tri-colored mousse, but restraining myself I did.
Right now I am debating very hard wtih myself whether or not to attend the conference tomorrow. On the one hand, it was so enjoyable, and I bet the luncheon would be excellent again. On the other hand, I have so much work and errands to do!!
