The halls are eerily quiet.  Nearly everyone is wearing exercise clothing.  Coffee is being taken in intravenously.  The law school reeks of exam time.

Take a deep breath.  Have the extra piece of chocolate.  Stop by the shelter and pet some dogs and cats.  It’s ok to eat pizza for breakfast and potato chips for dinner.  This too shall pass.

As the old saying goes, “How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.”  And while I don’t condone the consumption of pachyderms, I love the sentiment.  If it seems impossible, break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Hang in there.  You’ve got this.  One bite at a time.
