uncomfortably unbalanced
That's my life right now. Firstly, I would like to assure all my friends in other faculties that law school is no longer slack. That is past. No more. Do not associate me with the tag of 'nothing to do' anymore. It is getting busier now that I know what examiners want, reseach project deadline approaching and still more readings to do. As I always say, busy can only mean good. No one second of life is wasted. Other redundant things are kept out of your mind. Focus is maintained and time flies faster than an eagle.
Why do I say it is unbalanced then? Because I spend most of my time on the floor of the library. Not an ideal platform to be on for someone doing research. It could only mean papers and books strewn all over the place. Posture suffers and so does concentration. I like to feel busy but I don't like to feel comfortable while feeling busy. Unbalanced point number 1 made.
Point number 2. My brain is being worked to its limits recently. Constitutional law, tort, contract, research. Sometimes, I wonder if it is expanding, just like how muscles expand when worked on. Ok it does not happen to a brain but I made my point. After 14 years of school, I finally understand what it is like to use your brain. As in literally sit there and use your brain. Read, think, read, analyse, think. Please do tell me if anyone of you suspect that my head has grown bigger. It would be most unsightly and I will try my best to ice-pack it. The unbalanced part comes in because although the brain is exercised, the rest of the body is not. Not that I am lazy. Nonsense. I can't. I miss the runs I used to do around my nice quiet neighbourhood. Nowadays, I feel my heart weakening. I can no longer complete 1km. My foot has let me down again and again. The 'unfitness' in me is overwhelming and yet, I can't do anything about it.
Rambling stops here. I'm going back to be a judge.
