Is it already almost October?

Time has FLOWN this semester!  I cannot believe how close we already are to halfway!  Definitely time to start outlining!  I've done a bit of charting, but nothing too serious yet.  My main issue: Law review paper (Dun Dun DUUUUUUN!)  My first draft is due Monday.  I have less than one page so far.  UGH!  Someone shoot me!  I need 12.  I know I can pull it out, I just need to get over this funk I am in right now.

My "funk." I am totally in a lazy mode and I have no idea why.  Maybe it is second year?  Maybe it is stress?  Maybe it is that my classes no longer have me constantly on call (unlike first year)?  All I know, is I need to get out of it.  Anyone have any remedies?  I have the lazies.

Now, for your viewing pleasure, my beautiful Wills and Trusts Intestacy Charts (My favorite class this semester!):
 I do love color!
