So this Friday I get to head down to Virginia for the UVA softball tournament. I am waaaaaaay excited. I’m the starting pitcher for the competitive team, and apparently we are pretty well stacked so we can win (as opposed to last year, where we lost both of our games.) We get the joys of leaving at 7 am on Friday morning, and having a 10 to 14 hour ride down to Virginia. Last year, the bus hit traffic, and I think the trip took about 14 hours. Hopefully this will not be the case this year, and it’ll only take 10 (which is how long it took to get back last year.) Either way, it is a long trip. Which is ok, since we are on a coach bus, but still, it is a loooooong ride.

I realize while I write this that I have spent very little weekend time in Boston in the past month or 2. Between going to Jersey, ECAC championship, Easter and now UVA softball, I’ve spent a lot of time on the road. And as much as I am enjoying my social life/ social times, I think it is beginning to wear me out. This is really only because I am a silly silly 3L who for some reason is actually doing work in my last semester of law school. But not only doing work, which everyone has to do a little of, despite all claims to the contrary. But I seem to have more work then I have in just about every other semester. Cert. paper, 2 cases that hit the actual courts of MA and, of course, finding that elusive job.

All of this being said, I decided that if I put in 10 hours of Cert. paper work this weekend, I can play softball without feeling horribly guilty. 5 hours on the ride down, 5 hours on the ride back. I figure I can get about 8 pages done in that time. That gives me somewhere near 20 pages of paper done (which is a functional draft, since that would be sans footnotes.) Stupid cert paper. Life would be much better without it…
