Feeling better but who knows what the future holds?
Although there are tired eyes, and unknown concepts, I can't help but be happy knowing that I honestly feel good about my efforts over this semester. I did OK so far and now all I have to do is trust my ability's and give it my best shot. I have found that good grades are a lot like air. It is not all that important unless you aren't getting any. Strange to see how in the absence of good grades some of us loose the ability to function. All of us here have generally done well our whole lives. Now in the face of increased competition, is is a mathematical certainty that 50% of us will be in the lower half of the class. This is the big leagues, get used to not being the best. I too struggle with the concepts but I think I am over the mental block and have accepted that my best is going to make me happy. No matter what I get on these finals, I will still be proud of the person looking back in the mirror.

Frustration
Deterioration. When you mind becomes full it can only go the other way. My short term memory is full. I need time to process. By cramming more information into my mind than it can hold I think I am destroying its ability to hold information. I have a full brain. Let me process. How can you hear a sentence, read a word and have it look like nothing. That is what I see. Senses are numb. Survival is all that is left. Let my mind process. TMI. TMI. TMI.

Balance
Perhapsthe most important aspect in life is balance. What makes a fighter great? It isn't thir striking or blocking, it's thir balance. Football...same concept. The very concept of walking is a series of controled falls that only balance can turn into a productive use of energy. Minus balance we would all be on the ground struggling to get up. The question is how do we maintain balance. Is balance a skill, art, or inate human ability. I would argue that it is a skill. Take a baby, they can't walk at first but learn how to control their muscles. The same concept applies to bike riding. But does this apply to the emotional and spiritual parts of our lives. Of course it does...but can it be improved? I have undergone a severe lack of balance in my life this week. The next stressing time, will I have any better balance?

The two heaviest parts of my body
I have found that there are two parts of my body that are the heaviest. Neither at the same time but always one. The first is my tongue. It becomes so heavy that even Hercules cannot hold it. The other is my eyelids. If I am sleepy, not even a roman pillar could hold them open. I find that these days I am struggling to hold one or the other. Bless the person who can hold both.

Why I am frustrated by Legal Writing
When the man in the street says: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," the lawyer writes:"Insofar as manifestations of functional deficiencies are agreed by any and all concerned parties to be imperceivable, and are so stipulated, it is incumbent upon said heretofore mentioned parties to exercise the deferment of otherwise pertinent maintenance procedures."
