Procrastination

Hello friends,
The end of the semester is nigh, bringing with it the requisite reflection on how the semester has gone.
Tomorrow is my contracts exam and Thursday I have torts. Then I have FUN scheduled for Thursday evening. Fun is something I have not had in quite some time. Not to say I've been sitting around weeping or anything, but I have had very limited human contact in the last 1 to 2 months. This is getting boring. I was freaking out about my contracts exam a couple days ago, but now I am just so bored. Offer, acceptance, consideration, damages, bla bla bla. Just get it over with! (or put off studying it by blogging)
I've been thinking about how happy I am with this semester and my choice to come to Vanderbilt. I love this school and I love law school--I don't get the sense that most people have fond feelings about law school, especially in the midst of studying for the first round of finals. I feel lucky to be here.
There's a lot of general anxiety over grades, jobs, etc pulsating through the school body. I'm trying my best not to get caught up in it. I decided to be happy with whatever grades I do get. I also decided not to judge any of the choices I made this semester if I am less-than-happy with my results (or otherwise). Time will tell if this works or not.
I can't believe I've only been here for 4 months. So much has happened in that time. I made the best choices I could with the time and energy that I had going through this wild ride. Moving to a new city, being in school again, meeting hundreds of new people and being confronted with an academically rigorous program all at once. I did the best I knew how. Good for me.
In other news, I got x-rays at the chiropractor on...gosh, I don't even know what day it was, because I don't know what day it is...earlier this week. Traction worked! Yay, we decompressed the 2 discs in my lumbar. They now have fluid in them again. The bone spurs on my vertebrae moved away from my nerve column. That has to be a good thing. My discs will never go back to normal size, but he said that by maintaining my core muscles I will be able to hold my spine in its current position and keep it from getting compressed again. He said he's 100% sure my discs aren't ruptured because if they were, the traction wouldn't have worked. He told me I should feel good about the shape I'm in and that I seem to be a fast healer. I'm just happy that this worked. It's not like I never have to worry about it again, but I'm glad it's in my power to manage.
Ok, enough procrastination. Time for a day of studying contracts. Thhhbbbb.
