Yesterday, the first event I planned in law school took place. This was a panel on religion and reproductive justice.  I had gotten in touch with panelists, ordered food, and moderated. I was VERY nervous about how things would go; much to my delight, there was good turnout, the food was yummy, and the panelists were brilliant.  I am glad to have this undertaking complete. Now, I just need to get through two more big events before the semester finishes.  I have been struggling a lot to figure out how to balance everything.  My scheduling efforts have been undermined by a strong, burning, and irresistible desire to nap.  When I feel overwhelmed, I also have a tendency to want to sleep.  The task list just seems to grow and grow.

One of my favorite quotes from the panel yesterday was from the Chaplain of Planned Parenthood:  "I believe everyone is on a spiritual journey.  It may not lead you to church, but everyone is on one. As part of that journey, your goal should be justice."   In law school, I often feel very lost and then there are nuggets of truth which come through.  Thankfully, I got one yesterday in the midst of a crazy time.
