What a relief it is to be done with the first draft of that massive appellate brief! We finished it on Friday afternoon at about 4:45 PM (a good 7 hours before it was due). I cannot begin to describe how good it felt to have that weight off my shoulders. I seriously felt I like floated out of the school and all the way home. The last two days were a lot of work- especially when we started trying to put the two sections of the paper together and make it one coherent work. I did some rough calculations and figured out that I probably spent almost 40 hours working on that paper- that's 40 hours outside of normal class and normal homework assignments. Of course, it was half the grade for the course, so it will probably be worth it. After that, the weekend was almost completely unrelated to law, as I needed a break.
It's snowing tonight. We're having a good ol' fashioned Nor'easter. It's supposed to accumulate somewhere between 6 and 10 inches, but it's really wet snow and doesn't look like very much right now.
Unrelated to law school, but to life in NYC- the other day I took my laundry to the Wash n' Go where I drop it off and have someone else do it. When I came back 8 hours later it wasn't done. That was frustrating. I took my clothes back today and they actually got washed, dryed, and folded this time.
I also had groceries delivered tonight. They were supposed to come between 3pm and 6pm, and, of course, they didn't show up until about 7:45PM. However, I can't really complain because, hey, I had groceries delivered to me!
