My Brain Hurts, But It's Worth It?

So my brain has been crying out in pain these past few days. I was paranoid of after effects of last year's accident, but after talking with a friend who is experiencing similar symptoms, I realized why. It's hurting only because I'm trying to stuff more information into it than a reasonable person should be trying to put into it.

The bar review class is not that bad. It's basically taking all of what we should have learned in law school and cramming it into your head in 4 hour per day increments. (This is only in lectures. This isn't including the practice tests, the readings, the writing, etc.)

The bar exam will be in roughly 1.5 months. End of July. I know I'm not ready for it. Right now, I really wish I never got the Starcraft 2 Beta key. That certainly soaked up some of my time. It was fun, too. I'm looking forward to August 7, only because I'll be done with everything, and I'll be able to sit down and play my pre-ordered copy of Starcraft 2.

But for now, I'm glad that the beta period ended. I'm hoping that it was contributing to me sleeping past 2 AM. Because if it hasn't been, then that means that I need to figure out what's been making me sleep so late, and fix it.

So yea, my brain hurts. So much information. I wonder if I should have come to law school to begin with. Ah well. Just need to take the bar exam.

Curry Ramen

I was playing The World Ends With You last night (instead of studying), and one of the characters kept talking about curry and ramen.  Well today, I wanted something to eat (late breakfast/early lunch), so I looked at my inventory.  I had ramen (the cheap Maruchan brand) and curry (3 kinds: Fresh Market, Tones, and McCormick [I also had all the spices to make it from scratch, but I wasn't going to waste my time doing that for a bowl of ramen]).  So I put a pot of water on to boil, and threw in some curry.  

Then I got to thinking... sure, it'll taste good, but it won't do the ramen justice to just leave it at that.  So I threw in some frozen veggies (peas, carrots, corn, green beans).  After that step, I just couldn't leave it alone, so I threw in some meat I had last night, chopped up some onions, and threw in some minced garlic as well.  

There was still something missing, so I threw in the ramen seasoning packet as well.  I didn't like the consistency of the soup... too thin.  I really hate adding flour to something afterwards to thicken it, because then there is always that raw flour taste.  Fortunately, I had some leftover Bechamel roux, which made things easier.

What I had sitting in front of me was too great for just one measly ramen, so I threw in two ramen.

That's how I ended up feeling too full to study.  So as a result, I spent another hour watching stuff on Hulu.
