where is the hump to get over

I have nothing to really base this finding on besides my own observations (i.e. a well funded study with a control group and a nationwide survey,) but I think this is the hardest time of the year. We all came into the first year with a lot of enthusiasm, which basically carried us through our winter finals. However, now I hear lots of people either talking about how they just are not that into the law right now or they are just excited about their summer jobs or some other goal in the future. In addition to being "mid-winter" and "mid-semester," we have been in the same classes with the same faces for almost six months, and at this point we are all in a bit of a rut. I have not met to many new people lately, and I can really only speak for myself, but the studies feel like a bit of a rut right now. Maybe this is like the day after X-mas, in that last week was so full and exciting and this week is just back to the grind of reading cases and making briefs and doing legal research, but this is the hardest time of the semester for me so far and I am in some major need of inspiration. . .
