Something about the semester coming to a close and the absence of class makes the reading period very emotionally charged for me.
On one hand its a lot of work and pressure from the looming exams. On the other hand, there is somethign meditative about being mostly locked away reviewing notes, outlining and practicing with no real distractions.
I'm usually done by 4/5pm and can smoke some weed and play videogames which I really don't have the time to do during the semester as much.
I jsut finished my ConLaw outline and decided to bike to chipotle for some lunch. Something about the giant chunk of unregulated time is very freeing.
