No rest for the wicked

Another week is almost done, and I have not yet posted an update. This is because my schedule has been hellaciously busy thus far. Normally, I try to get my work done for the entire week by the preceding Sunday (and in this effort I am invaluably aided by the fact that I have no classes on Friday, so every weekend is three days long). Alas, my master plan met with no success this week, and I was still playing catch-up on Tuesday despite the fact that I had worked myself into a lather all weekend long. Gaby can vouch for this; it was not pretty to live with (she suggested more frequent bathing to get rid of that pesky lather smell). And what with this weekend containing that red-letter day 22-Sep, I am trying desperately to get a jump on next week's work right now, so that I don't have to spend every moment of my twenty-fifth birthday in contemplation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Not that we have any big plans for my birthday - I would be satisfied with just a day to sleep in and not do anything. If even this modest wish is to come true, though, I must return to work right now. And probably also skip out on the usual Thirsty Thursday end-of-the-week celebration with my classmates as well.
