a day off to rejuvinate

It's been ten months (hmmm, almost) since I started working with the firm. Lots have changed since I got the title and started to practice the profession.
I'm just starting and I can feel that it's stressful and tiring. I took a day off today coz I feel sick but I still have to do work at home. If not, everything's gonna pile up and I'd be forced to sleep late again during weekdays to finish everything.
Back in lawschool, I never sleep late (not until 2 or 3am) because I feel like I'm more effective studying during the day. Midnight was probably the latest for me that time. And during college days, I only sleep late when I had to finish my thinkpiece/papers.
Now, I stay up late at night to finish pleadings. (Things do change.) I have to because I'm still on the process of learning the best in legal writing. And there are so many things that I need to know. Passing the bar does not make "us" a complete package. There are still many things that we are ignorant about.
Well, I am happy where I am now. I
might seek to discover other fields of the profession but the idea is
not the priority right now. Even pecuniary matters aren't my priority.
What matters, at this time, are the lessons and the handling of
pressures that come along while digesting whatever these lessons are.
