old habits die...never.

i try not to overwhelm myself. i really do. and i would definitely never call myself an over-achiever. at least, not seriously.

but somehow i always manage to commit myself to a million different things all at once. and the semester hasn't even started yet! i'm just incapable of passing up a good opportunity. you know that saying, "take advantage of (insert whatever here)"? yeah, i took that to heart. i take advantage of everything, even when it can't possibly fit in to my schedule.

for example, during the spring semester of my first year of law school i hit full panic mode because my resume was absolute crap. i had no legal experience, only one actual job to list as work experience, and that was it. so what did i do? i applied for three internships that summer. i got all three internships that summer. i took all three internships that summer. and ever since then things have been sort of just...growing.

so now i'm simultaneously editing and publishing two articles, taking a full load of classes, working (probably), and planning a symposium at a law school i don't even go to.

it's really almost laughable, this thing that i do to myself. go ahead, you can laugh. it's ok.

and this isn't to say i'm not completed jazzed about all of this. it just leaves little time to do the things i wanted to do for myself as opposed to for my phantom future career. but i refuse to let those things fall on the wayside. i will do things for me this time around. i will not lose sight of myself again.

and just to prove it, i'm touring and joining a gym on wednesday.
