Yes, I'm still on my diet. Current tally is that I'm down 7.5 lbs. I think I'm indifferent about my diet now, and that's because of the day I had today. First off, we didn't make the second round of our appellate advocacy competition. My partner and I are rather depressed about this. Some people I talked to were rather stunned we didn't make the next round, but it's any number of possibilities as to why we didn't make it. I went through the steps of loss today over this. I was angry, had some denial and blame for a while, and now I'm just sort of sad. I thought I was good at this, as was my partner, but this proves we're not. I got to top off my sadness by being cold called in Admin. This was a better experience, even though I was terribly confused about the case when I read it. The professor and I went through the case in about 10 minutes and then I was done. I even got a pat on the shoulder and a good job from the professor on his way out. This was a great boost to the ego. The other downer was I offered to hold a potluck dinner for a student group I belong to at our house. This offer was shot down since I don't live within a mile or two of the school. That depressed me too. I recovered from this depression by running a Honda Civic on the way home. Long story short, her gerbils just don't go that fast.
