Anyway, let me explain myself. At first I was on break. . . .
Oh the joy of sleeping in late, eating home-cooked meals I didn't have to cook myself and just being lazy in general. I played games and watched anime and read manga and relaxed HARD. I spent lots of time with my family, talking about all kinds of things both serious and light-hearted. I helped clean up a building (urgh) and cleaned a little in my room (yah!) and then I just sort of went into hibernation for the last week of break.
Seriously, I basically did nothing for the last week but eat and sleep.
It was bliss. Of course, I meant to do some blog posting too but, well, like I said I got pretty lazy.
Then, my winter break ended.
I figured I was relaxed enough to be ready to deal with the rigors of law school once again. So I drove up, unpacked and got ready for the start of a new term.
Sure, I was a bit nervous because I still didn't have some of my books (slow delivery is slow) but I wasn't too worried. I mean, I've done this sort of thing before. Last term wasn't so bad in the end. I even did pretty darn good on my finals! (High Bs and an A.)
But then classes started.
I wasn't mentally prepared after all.
Yeah, it was kinda like that.
I didn't freak out in class or anything but my stress levels shot through the roof. I started drinking to mellow out. A bottle of wine was gone in less than a week and I usually drink so little and so slowly that a bottle of wine lasts nearly a full month.
Obviously, I was a bit nervous.
Then things started to pull together as the week went on.
My books came in, my family helped me to get one of them from a special "first come, first served" deal after finding out the one I ordered was wrong and they even came up to visit yesterday.
I'm feeling quite a bit more mellow now about this term. Ah, I think I can manage this after all. Hey, if I could make it through the first term and pull off those grades, then this shouldn't be too much worse, right?
So that's how I came to be in a good enough mental state to start blogging again.
To make it up to everyone for being gone for so long, I'm doing another contest! I want your opinions though! So take some time and do this poll for me.
What Prize Should The Next Context Have?
I'm going to be quite busy this term but I hope to be able to post enough to please ya'll!
Until the next post, please vote in this poll and comment if you want! Future polls will be widgets but I wanted to confine this one to this post to make sure it gets attention.
My plan is to give away some anime and I need to know what method to my madness you'd prefer!
Until next time bloggies!
Bye-ni!
*Edit: I just want to clarify: Yes, I meant "contest" and not "context." I'm not sure if changing the title will foul up the polling so I'm leaving it that way. (Thanks to bal-anime for putting me on notice!)
