divine angst

I don’t do well with actual writing at night. I’m much better at editing at night, and writing in the morning. Odd, huh?

Tonight, after a yummy meal (fixin’s picked up at the grocery on a long, wet, rainy, windy, COLD walk home) and a good movie, I figured I should get some work done. But writing didn’t appeal. I need a quiet library and either a big table or an isolated carrel in which to actually write. (That’s so I can create two dozen stacks of Westlaw printouts and then freak out when I can’t find the ground-breaking Supreme Court case I reeeeealllllly need for a given argument.)

So I revised. Two sections of my brief have already been written, turned in, and returned with comments. So I went through and fixed them! Yay! Then I put them into my master document, fixed the headings, and checked my page length. It’s really long right now. Sigh. That’s probably not a good thing.

But I digress. My point is that, at night, and particularly at home, I just can’t do any writing. I can only edit. So tomorrow, during my break, I’ll have to hunker down in the library and make my little piles of printouts, and write. Probably Saturday and Sunday, too.

I haven’t had a lot to say over the last couple of days. I’m trying to keep to a good schedule of getting my reading done, working on my brief, and spending time with Mr. Angst. One of our rehearsals was also cancelled this week, so I tried to take full advantage of that by being productive and taking care of myself.

Other than that, I just don’t have much to say. This comment was correct, but I can’t even comment on that, really, since I don’t really know anything and, even if I did, I still wouldn’t know what to say. What can you say?

Spring Break is closer every day, but I feel like it’s decades away still. I have a somewhat-workable-if stunningly incomplete first draft of my brief, but it needs TONS of revision. I have reading for today’s and tomorrow’s classes. I have grocery shopping to do, unless we decide to eat leftovers tonight. But it also feels like Spring Break starts tomorrow, and that kind of makes me sad. My friends are gradually taking off for sunnier (or at least more exciting) locations, my classes are emptier and emptier. And yet I still have this mound of work to do.

I know, I know, this blog has been ALL angst lately, and very little divinity. I’m sorry for that. Right now, just keeping the page from going blank is about all I can manage.
