She makes it hard to study...

The new dog is so much more rewarding than law school.

In law school how well I know the material and how much time I spend studying never seems to make a difference when the grades come back. My highest grades tend to be in the classes into which I put the least effort. My lowest grades are in the classes where I inevitably studied my butt off. To add insult to injury, after all this effort, you end up getting pretty decent grades overall, but does this help you get a job? Heck no! For the job I got this summer, my interviewers flat out told me that they selected me for an interview due to an obscure part of my resume. I'm not complaining, but I kinda wish that my grades were at least part of it. (Who knows, maybe they are.)

Yet with the dog it's so much different. You put in the effort, you see results. You say the command enough times, follow the training directions and next thing you know, the dog can sit, stay, fetch, and walk.

So like I said, it's hard to study. I could be reviewing my material for little-to-no payoff OR I could have my dog tap-dancing by the end of the week.
