One of my professors decided to be cute with his final. Instead of a 4 hour thing like everyone else, he decided to give us a full week...to write a minimum of 27,000 characters. So now I have 3 days to write 16 pages minimum comparing how a Burkini ban would work in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and the equivalent action in the French legal system. While at the same time preparing for three other exams that are all within a week. AND since this is law school 100% of your grade comes from the exam; doing poorly on any of them means doing bad in the class.

Not good!

Yikes!

At least some solace is the upcoming Winter Holidays (at least that is for me)

Good luck, my friend.

Christmas Holidays, you bigot!!!!

I have a pretty personal moral question I would appreciate someone's advice on. Is there anyone I could shoot a PM to?

Writing for money is not something most people can succeed in.  Are you trying to get your story published in a magazine?

I can give you my best advice.

Writing for money is not something most people can succeed in.  Are you trying to get your story published in a magazine?

Right now, I've attempted to get it in a couple online magazines. I'll make an attempt for paper magazines once I learn a bit more about them.

I didn't give up and eventually succeeded.

Doing a sit-in at Georgetown to protest our licensing contract with Nike right now (worker rights abuses). May be asked to leave soon.

Summer break can be fun, but it can also be very annoyingly boring when you don't have enough money at the point in time to do anything...

Workout; food coma; some Sam Adams. This is exactly how I want to feel getting home everyday.

I'm good at parts 2 and 3.

Are you committed to fiction writing? There's a market for non-fiction in the form of technical writing. My wife makes a good living at it with only a BA in Philosophy.

I'm not sure if there's a worse feeling academically than screwing up an exam which you studied really hard for and was feeling really confident about...

...I'm back.  It seems trying to clear my plate this year and try and do something productive has just led to everything somehow getting worse.

So I might as well keep with the status quo which at least doesn't continuously take away, even if it has a high price.

So I'm back, back where the stakes are low, and the worst of my sincere efforts will just go to a quote mine .

Perhaps next year, next year will be cleaner, but that is not now.

Honestly had the most stressful couple of days I've had for a while- my 93 Gran has been staying with us, and I've been having to look after her- two hours after she left one of my best friends from school got kicked out his flat and is now having to stay with us until his parents get back from Holiday, combined with my ex coming back to London having broken up with his girlfriend... life really seems to all come at once

Yeah, but I'll probably do a couple non fiction projects.
