Deceptive Workload & Time Managment

Since I'm in the middle of my second all-nighter in a row (although I did nap for 5 hours, today, so it's not like I've been awake for 48 straight), I wanted to just say: This is not because law school is overwhelmingly difficult or we have too much reading.

It's really about time managment.

I woke up from my nap at 5PM, went to dinner at 8PM (with a 1/2 Persian 1/2 Afghan doctor!) in the Meatpacking District (no giggles!) at a restaurant I'd been to in 2004 with a Swiss friend called Nero, got home at 11:30PM, and had my school stuff together, work set-out, coffee in hand, and was sitting down at my desk here in the library a bit before 2AM.

That's 9 hours straight of not working.

Since I'll finish my work, but only thanks to staying up all night, that means that I could have slept for 9 hours and STILL finished my work had I wasted no time at all, or I could have even had a 2 hour dinner and gotten 7 hours sleep, or a 1 hour dinner and 2 hours at the gym and gotten 6 hours of sleep.

Law school isn't that bad, but you really can see the tradeoff between having a loose schedule and getting sleep.

If I immortalize it in a blog does it count as a lesson learned?
