*Yawn*
Yesterday was day one on the Zoloft. About 2:30 pm yesterday I got really tired all of a sudden. I managed to get through my studying for the day though. Thankfully I didn’t have my writing workshop yesterday. After Basic Legal Research I went up to the law library and read for Contracts. After Contracts I finished my BLR assignment. By 3:30, I was done and ready to head home, given that I was so tired. I went home and did my grocery shopping. I also got my electric bill in the mail – $33. Nice to see that’s going to be my average bill, rather than the $50+ that was my first bill after only a week in the apartment, when I wasn’t even there and all that was on was the a/c. So definitely nice to see my electricity isn’t going to completely screw up my budget.
In terms of grocery shopping, I’ve definitely discovered the benefits to taking a list. When I first moved into my apartment, I got a small whiteboard to put on my fridge (it came with magnets for the back). That whiteboard is my grocery list during the week. When I run out of something or notice I’m getting low, I’ll put it on that list. Then when it’s time to go grocery shopping (typically I wait until there’s several items on the list, or something that I absolutely have to have) I’ll transfer the list to paper. Then when I go to the store, I’ll take the paper with me along with a pen or pencil and cross off items as I get them. Using a list means grocery shopping is quick, I get everything I need, and I get fewer things on a whim. When I don’t use a list, grocery shopping can take awhile, I usually miss multiple items, and I get more things that I don’t need.
I also went home and did some studying for crim law, along with inputting my BLR answers from my paper copy to the electronic version and then submitted it. Later today the next BLR assignment will be released. I’ll take a peek at it and see how much of it is computer based and how much of it is library based. I definitely want to get the library phase done before I head up to see my parents. Depending on what needs to be done, I may do some of the computer phase while I’m at home that weekend.
Today I’m fairly tired as well. Now that might be because the idiot I am, I didn’t go to bed on time last night. It could also be because of the Zoloft, as drowsiness initially is one of the possible side effects. It probably doesn’t help that my monthly friend showed up yesterday and I’m always a little more out of sorts while it’s around. It’s also possible I could be getting a cold. My singing voice has been out of sorts the last 2 weeks or so.
There’s a home football game this weekend and I’ve got a fair amount to get done. As a result, I’m hanging out in the student center for the day. I’ll probably drive down about 9ish. Over the weekend it’s free to park in visitor parking, so I don’t have to deal with that. The student center has some booths where there’s both power outlets and ethernet jacks. I’ll listen to the badger game at 11 while I do some miscellaneous things, and then actually work for awhile after the game. I’ll probably stick around until 5 or 6, so allow for the stadium to clear out. Thankfully, since the football game is early the lights should be out well before I head to bed. I’ve got to write Memo 1 and get going on a Crim Law outline this weekend. I also have to do my usual work to prepare for Mondays Because I’ll be headed to the student center on Saturday, I’ll only take home that which I’m actually going to do on Friday night. The rest of my books I’ll just get from my locker in the law school since the law school’s just across the street from the student center.
