A brief addition: stress has officially been achieved. With two weeks left to go (oh. my. god.), I'm spending all my day, every day, studying, writing papers, attending review sessions, and trying to keep up with the reading for my classes. It feels very inconvenient to have to attend class at this point - it just distracts from my exam studying!
I had my first freak out on Saturday night as I tried to fall asleep but could only think about the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (the bane of my existence). I've already had three (3!) nightmares about finals, and I can't imagine sustaining this sort of pace for two more weeks. On the other hand, I need that much time to figure out what the hell I've been reading all summer and what it all means.
On a positive note, I've found a number of new study places and take great joy whenever I find a new awesome study spot. And no, I won't reveal any of them. They're mine.
On a not-so-positive note, the stress is at times a bit too much and only makes me realize how much I miss my past life. The combination of stress and leaving behind such a supportive circle of people isn't pretty. While I have friends here, I have yet to achieve the kind that will bring you plates full of cookies, give you a back massage, and wash your dishes as you try to remember the difference between impleader, interpleader, and intervention as they pertain to jurisdiction. So, in sum (and as a shameless plea), if anyone wants to provide me with "happy surprises" or just show up on my doorstep ready to be my very own "Finals Fairy," I'd be much obliged. If not, well, let's just hope I make it to August 21 with all my mental and physical facilities in tact.

Oh my. This does not sound good. The great thing is that we both know you can do it, you smart cookie, you.
