I need my brain to shut up. I need to not think about non-essential things. The only things that count as essential right now are the memo I need to do for my boss, the multiple documents I need to do for my clinic, and my IP exam which is coming upon monday.

What is my brain thinking about? Pretty much everything EXCEPT the memo, the docs and my damn exam. It thinks about the fact that I STILL have no real go reason for being in law school. It thinks about how I don't think I want to be a lawyer. It thinks about how I am extremely uncomfortable in my own skin. It thinks about all the stupid things I've done in my life.

Note that I say it thinks of these things, and not "I" think of these things. I am firmly convinced that my brain is going off on its own little trip. It doesn't do what I want it to do. Instead, it speeds on, doing as it pleases. It confuses, befuddles, rewinds, fast forwards and pretty much does as it pleases. Damn you brain. Why can't you just do what I want, and stop questioning my life? Is it possible to fire your brain for not doing it's job?
