Today was one of those days.  You all know what I mean, especially you non traditional law students out there who work and have kids.  I got up this morning and felt sick to my stomach.  I had a headache.  My kids needed lunch money.  On and on goes the list.

Well, I dragged myself out of bed, grabbed my two 20oz cups of coffee, and stopped by the local filling station for a honey bun.  This did not help my stomach situation.  I spent the day mostly at my desk trying not to lose my so-called breakfast.  My mind could barely function, and my concentration was worse than my 8 year old.  But, what can you do?

I finally made it through the day only to come home and remember that I have a paper due this weekend.  Ugh.  So, I have been doing my best to write something coherent.  I will hopefully feel better tomorrow, and start the whole routine all over again.

As law students, and particularly non traditional law students, we have all been there.  However, the show must go on as it were, and the mind must keep working.  I love law school, but today I felt like chucking my books and computer out in the street.  Frustration.  But this too shall pass, and I will once again get back into my “zone”.

If you can relate – and I know you can – hang in there and keep the faith.  Take some deep breaths and maybe a short (or looong) nap   Better health and brighter minds are just around the corner.  God bless and have a great day.
