I can't find ANY inspiration to do work! What do I do? I feel so guilty all the time but I just don't want to think about law school.

Sincerely,

Lazy in Logan Circle

Dear Lazy,

The technical definition of "inspiration" is the direct influence of God.  As a mortal (and a very clumsy one at that), I can't help you find inspiration for anything, especially to work.  I can, however, advise you on how to deal with your guilt.  The trick to abating this emotion is to find something to do that is so terrific that you can't possibly feel guilty about doing anything else.  I therefore advise you, Lazy, to stop thinking about the work you are neglecting, and to begin watching the greatest international celebration of sports being played out in the best city in the world: the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.

How could you possibly think about statutes and citations when you can watch the majestic art of curling?  When you consider the ski jumpers who fly through the beautiful vista of the Coast Mountains, your thoughts can't help but transcend the boundaries of the library ceiling.  So don't fret, just watch.  Remember, the Winter Olympics happen only once every four years. Your work will always be there, but the chance to watch the mad, mad run of skeleton champions won't.

Happy viewings!
