Wall
I don't know if its JUST the unrelenting bar prep.
I don't know if its JUST the fact I stopped going to the gym.
I don't know if its JUST that 'time of the month.'
I don't know if its JUST a lack of sleep and dearth of vegetables.
It could be any or all of the above, or something not listed.
But I've kind of come up against a wall. I'm depressed, lethargic, and quasi-insomniac.
I'm not having fun anymore.
So Clownfish and I are getting out of town for the weekend. I wish I were leaving the bar prep behind, but I am not. I have to make up a lecture and watch Second State lecture at least. If I really shake the cobwebs loose, I'll catch up on the last week or so worth of work that I have failed to do because of the Wall.
But I will also see some family and friends. I will eat barbecue. I will find fireworks to watch. And weather permitting, I'll swim and laugh and play.

10 little fish:
I'm taking the weekend "off" too. Plan to do reviewing of outlines while fishing. The fish always bite best when you're not paying attention.
I had to stop running for a few days because of a minor knee injury, and let me tell you my mood went down the crapper. Started snapping at everyone. Seems bar prep is wearing on me a little more than I thought.
Hope your weekend away helps! I think I need to plan something to look forward to this weekend also.
I'm sure this has been suggested before, but chocolate milkshakes/ice cream/candy is a great way to break out of a funk.
Have fun this weekend. And eat lots of bbq!!!!
I think everyone hits a wall right about now. And I also think most people will take this weekend (or at least Saturday) "off."
Have a fun weekend...and just remind yourself that it will all be over in less than a month (only take away the good part of that statement)
Good plan to get out of "Dodge" and shake things up a bit. Don't give in to the wall. Accept it, and then just go around it. It's OK to take the scenic route, as long as you end up back on the road.
Yeah, after the Simulated MBE, I'm ready for a break too. And I'm bitter that Secured Transactions is on the plate for tomorrow.
I hope the getaway helps! things will look up -- it's hard to remember but it's true that our negative feelings always will pass.
I think something is up with google analytics or sitemeter or my blog -- according to those programs, I have had zero visitors for two days. Yet I have seven comments. Weird.
Try to have some fun if you can. This last month is really a 'just get through it' phase of life. I was depressed, despondent, and once called Fairy-God-Brother in the middle of the night because I was convinced that someone was about to break into my home - not that there were any noises to indicate such - I just had a *sense*. I also went slightly nuts during the month of July and was convinced that the ghost of the dead sister of my Freshman year roommate was haunting my house based on a series of songs that kept popping up on my ipod during the shuffle phase. Sounds like you are actually doing pretty well - relatively speaking.
Take a step away from the books even for a second to watch the fireworks, we can do this...one final push.
