The American Non-Idle and Post-Its


The reason my blog has been absent this week is due to the fact that my schedule has been intense. Unfortunately, that is not expected to change for at least the next 10 days.

There’s a quotation from Thomas Jefferson that states: "Determine never to be idle … It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." To be blunt with myself, I take this quote far too seriously most days.

Almost every day these past few weeks – and especially this past week – my planner has taken a beating. Not only is every centimeter of writable space been filled for each calendar day, but I have also resorted to adding at least one (sometimes two or three) post-it notes with additional to-dos, appointments and assignments. Simply put: these high heels have been running feverishly lately.

Tonight, I am running errands quickly before meeting Caitlyn to do a 35-minute practice LSAT section. After that, I am finalizing some things for the Delta Theta Phi pre-law fraternity’s Professional Evening next month, which I plan as academic chair. Then, it’s off to Erin’s 21st birthday dinner, which will include some tasty Mexican food (but I am not enjoying a margarita or Cuervo shot due to tomorrow). Saturday (the reason my Friday night will not be in the 21st-esque manner) I am headed to Ames early in the morning for a Kaplan-proctored practice LSAT – the last full-length practice test I will take before the real one on the following Saturday. I have a Delt post-rush BBQ to help with as soon as I get back, and then a TKE post-rush party that I am excited to attend. P.S. – the above events are just a foretaste of the next 10 days or so.

Whew! I hate to seem like I’m rambling or complaining – and looking back at what I just wrote, it seems like I am – so I will sit back, take a chill pill and hopefully be a calmer girl after my real LSAT.
