An answer to the intelligent design debate.

Stop saying his name. Stop calling it in vain, turning to it for help, crying it out in passion.
Even if it is just a theory, you haven't earned the right to invoke it, or him.

Revelation: I now understand why I'm performing the way I am.
Somehow I lost perspective of the choices I was making. Every week I make sure that I get my studying done, but I'm doing the bare minimum to get by. I read the material and brief all the cases. That's it. I attend class and take notes there. At the end of the semester, I go into a marathon of consolidating the entire semester into an outline and cramming for the exam. I feel as though I don't have time for anything else. That's not true.

I choose to go to the gym. I choose to go out with my friends. I choose to attend parties and clubs. I choose to participate in student groups. I feel constrained because I can do so little of those activities, but the fact that I do them at all is a choice. The fact that I don't drop out of law school is a choice. If I studied more, worked less, and played less, I'd do better in law school. Somehow I was forgetting that life outside that little arena was a choice.

With that, I'm sticking with these choices. I would like to do better in school, but I choose to continue to try and balance multiple interests with the obligations of study.

I have other choices to make. I have to remember that they are choices, and if they seem overwhelming of difficult - I should keep perspective not only of the choice, but the series of choices that I made before I wound up at each crossroad. Each choice may be important, but the process is far more important than any one choice.
