Confessions

I'm kind of scared of the neighborhood I'll be living in this summer.

I opened my write-on package yesterday, read the problem and haven't looked at it since...a whole day wasted.

I've been hearing about and seeing quite a few car accidents lately.  Maybe it's because I'm in the city now...but it is starting to take on a creepy foreshadowing feel.  I was nearly hit this morning.  I'm worried about SO's drive home today.  I'm not much of a worrier - so I'm kind of on edge...feeling unsettled.

I'm going to sleep for at least 4 hours today at a time generally considered unacceptable for adult napping.  I think my sleep debt is in the hundreds of hours at this point.

I have terrible sitting posture.  Walking, standing - I'm fine.  When I sit down (especially at my computer), I turn into a giant slouch.  I can practically feel the curvature setting into my spine.  And my back hurts all the time.

For breakfast I had a cigarette, a diet coke and a starcrunch.

I haven't unpacked yet.

I have never played Westlaw trivia.  I have a whopping 485 Lexis reward points.  I have never done a substantive research project on either Westlaw or Lexis.  I have never used Westlaw or Lexis to do research for a writing assignment at school (only to look up cases that I already knew about).  Westlaw seems better than Lexis, but what the hell would I know about it?  My school doesn't 'teach' computerized research and I think this is a big shortcoming.  My school is big on book research and I completely agree with the philosophy behind it...BUT...once you figure out how to do the book research and then you are given your electronic access codes and a short tutorial on how to use Westlaw and Lexis you should be given something comprehensive to build your e-research skills as well.  I think my summer employer is going to think I'm unskilled when they learn that I can't do effective computerized research.

I've been awake for an hour an half and it already feels like midnight.  I'm going back to bed.
