I was out for 7 hours with some girls yesterday. I’m not really sure which crowd I click with, really.

9:35 am have breakfast.

Here’s the pomodoro plan:
-25 minutes preparing lectures day by day.
-5 minutes break
-15 minutes reading and summarizing, and then 10 minutes for translation project.
-5 minutes break
-15 minutes preparing lectures day by day, and then law school PS for 10 minutes
-15 minutes break

10:39 AM 25 minutes preparing lectures day by day
11:04 AM 5 minutes break
11:11 AM 15 minutes reading and summarizing
11:29 AM 10 minutes translation project
11:41 AM 5 minutes break
11:48 am 15 minutes preparing lectures day by day
12:08 pm 10 minutes law school PS

My life story, starting from scratch: I was born on June 4, 1993, to my parents who were both young physician (they were both 29 then). The specific thing that my grandmother noted about me was that unlike most new born babies, I had a lot of hair on my head coming out. I was told that I was a physically weak as a baby, but mentally I got a bit ahead. I couldn’t roll over at 1.5 year old, but I could speak sentences at 12 months.

I didn’t enjoy my childhood very much, and truly I much prefer being an adult than a child. I couldn’t decide whether my pre-teen or my teen years were worse.

12:20 PM 15 minutes break.
12:49 PM Well I had some food. I probably should clean the house at some point today too. 25 minutes preparing lectures day by day
1:16 PM 5 minutes break
1:22 PM 15 minutes reading and summarizing
1:38 PM 10 minutes translation project
1:50 PM 5 minutes break.
1:56 PM I think I should get lunch…
2:29 PM I have to go to Church. Must consider whether to go grocery shopping too.

5:15 PM Been 30 minutes since I got home from Church.
6:47 PM not sure what I’m doing with my life here. My main thing is debating what I should be doing at the moment I guess. Oh well, 15 minutes preparing lectures day by day.
7:04 PM Still debating about going to the grocery. It is so hot today. 10 minutes law school PS.

Okay, maybe I won’t be telling my life from scratch. Just start with college and after. So I went to college and I was a philosophy major. I cruised my way to becoming the outstanding graduate of the philosophy department. It was just blahh. I didn’t work that hard. Basically the whole department agreed that I should get the award, he added “given how seldom us philosophers agree with each other.” I haven’t written him a single email since I graduated. Not a single email. Not even when the dear old emirtus professor passed away. He has retired. And that is just awful, awful.

Is it a mistake? I’ve had a few people telling me that I don’t seem to have the personality to be a lawyer. I guess they think I’m too bookish and shy.

7:18 PM 5 minutes break
7:50 PM huh? I thought I’ve only been looking at sample law school PSs? 25 minutes preparing lectures day by day.

It’s been okay. Could have really gone better I guess. Here’s an idea. Why don’t I stay up all night to do this work? I seem to be working at night mostly.
