No Sleep

Coming off of another 20 hour day, I decided to one up myself and last night I just didn't go to sleep. Here's the kicker, I worked from the moment I got home 12:00AM to the moment I left 6:50AM. I only stopped to go to the bathroom and shower. I was working on an appellate brief for the Supreme Court. We like to play pretend here at school. The brief was not only difficult to write, the format was awful. On top of that, going through all the cites and signals took forever and on the 4th read through, I was still finding citation errors. Any time you use precedent from another court opinion, you have to cite it. This tells the reader where to go if they would like to know where you got the information from. This takes forever and is an extremely tedious process.

Overall, I enjoyed the assignment, but after 3 weeks straight of 80-90 hour weeks, I was ready to just be through with it.
