Summer Idling

Does your brain shut down in the summer? Mine does. I don’t intend it to happen, but it does.

A nap in the afternoon is followed by lazy reading into dinner time. The day stands still while I let my brain idle. In the evening I pick up my pace and get a few things done, but overall, I don’t oblige myself to do much.

Lazy Summer

I spent the past few months studying for the bar exam. I learned a lot of information while putting the rest of my life on hold – academic servitude to the master named “Bar Exam.”

I have never retained such a large vat of information at once. And now that the exam is over, I can crack open the escape valve of my head and let it slowly seep out. I won’t need any of it in the future – I hope. In the meantime, my mind and body have been idling, waiting to face the next big task.

Not everyone’s brain can go a mile a minute for so long. Two months is my limit. Take note of the limits of your body and mind, and when you hit it, slam on the breaks and give your engine a rest because you’ll need it for the next big journey.
