Restraint

I took too many classes.

I will graduate with extra credits even if I take the bare minimum course-load for full-time enrollment.

Last semester I was grossly over-scheduled, so I felt ridiculous today when I asked a co-worker for her thoughts on me adding partnership taxation.

She told me not to.

I’m going to take her advice lest I have another grand “What the hell was l thinking?” moment in May.

Even with 12 credits I still have to schedule in gym-time, dog time, work, writing…volunteering?

The nice thing about law school is that I’m never in want of things to do, even during break. It’s just a matter of not over-committing myself when everything looks interesting and doable – like portion control at a Chinese Buffet – and for now, partnership tax and the lemon chicken are on hold.
