Man, I'm tired. This has been a super-busy week, and it's not over. Last week, the first-year students turned in their closed memo, so I had to have them all graded (for citations) by this morning. (Closed memo may not be a universal term: a memo students must write using only distributed cases.) I spent all day Saturday--and I mean all day--grading papers, and I still had a half-dozen or so. I won't say any more about it, but I will share that this is truly a situation of, "this hurts me more than it does you."
On Friday, I had to practice my oral argument and go to a couple interviews. Monday, I had a trial for my trial practice class. Today, I had to go argue a case before the Wyoming Supreme Court--the same one I practiced on Friday. In a few minutes, I'll be a witness in other students' trial practice trial. Tomorrow are all kinds of events, such as a lunch panel, candlelight vigil (October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month), knitting group, etc. Thursday I leave for Seattle for a Very Important Job Interview. I return on Saturday.
My argument seemed to go well, which is nice. I represented the State of Wyoming in a criminal appeal. It seemed to go pretty well. There was only one thing I wish I had said, but it was in my brief so the court will still have it. It did end up being shorter than I had thought, but I don't think there was much more for me to say.
I suppose the good thing is that it's only Tuesday, and the week is basically half over. Still, I could really use a bit more sleep. I also hope the weather clears up by Thursday. It's snowing a bit today. I think I'll have to go to the Denver airport WAY in advance if I'm to not miss my flight.
What I'm really looking forward to, though, is settling in at home and watching the latest episode of Heroes. I know it aired last night, but I don't watch TV--I'll just download it to iTunes and watch it that way. And relax a little.
