I feel like I'm in college studying for exams again...

Meaning...I find every moment to procrastinate to keep myself from studying.  After hours of plowing through IP material (and I'm still in the middle of this one book), I still don't have a good grasp on it.  I've been reading through IP laws, IP valuation, intangible asset creation, IP laws in Japan, The Bayh-Dole Act, IP case studies in America, brand equity and IP relationships.   All these IP signs are floating in my mind, and I have to hurry and absorb and assimilate it by Monday to make it seem like I'm knowledgeable about IP and patents and rights for years and not just spewing out knowledge absorbed from reading nonstop about it for 3 days.  Ok, maybe 2 days...or 1 full day if I keep procrastinating like this.

I swear, all this job-hunting and preparing will have gained by 5 pounds by the time I'm done with it (and I hope to be done with it soon).  I have the tendency to eat nonstop while reading or studying anything remotely academic...and all of it is super fat food (like the 2lb bag of almonds I'm munching on right now).  Sometimes I wonder what I'm even doing.  I should really get back to reading soon; I have a feeling that if I go to sleep tonight, I'll dream about IP related stuff.  *shudders in horror*

So Mr. IP, you better get interesting fast and soon, and in a way simple enough for me to understand before I throw you out the door and head into the interview with absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.  I wish there were audio-books for these type of things.  Preferably done by a narrator who has a sexy voice...like Yusa Kouji or Hirakawa Daisuke.  Except they wouldn't be speaking to me in English, so that may be a problem since everything I'm reading about right now is so technical and difficult to understand already.  Ok, Hirakawa Daisuke lecturing it to me in English, even if it's in an adorkable Japanese accent...well, at least a girl can dream.  I think all seiyuu should start recording for textbooks.  It'll greatly enhance the learning process for students.  Imagine Luffy from One Piece reading to you!  Or Panda from Shirokuma Cafe.  Anyways, I guess I should stop writing this and go back to tackling IP.  Here I go!
