So, it's been absolutely forever since I posted here (like 8 or 10 months?), but life has been pretty whatever. I lost my job a week after my birthday, but also after deciding in September that I was going to take the October LSAT and go to law school. I took the test and applied to 8 schools. So far I've been accepted to 5, rejected from 1, and ( Read more... )

I figured I should probably update, since there's been a lapse again ( Read more... )

It's been a loooong time since I last posted, so I should probably file some updates ( Read more... )

AARRRGH why can nothing ever be simple ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while again, and I don't mean for that to happen - maybe it'll stop when I finally move next month (news bomb ( Read more... )

So it's been a monthish since I last posted, and that wasn't really my intention. A lot of stuff has been going on, but unfortunately I don't think this is really the best format for sharing, so I won't go into detail. Generally ( Read more... )

So there's a little bit of ongoing grief over that, but life goes ( Read more... )

I am excited to go home, but I'm so sick of packing and how even though it almost works right now, it'll all go wrong again tomorrow, when the laundry's finished. I've spent the whole day piling things on my suitcases, sorting them until they might fit if I were some sort of space-wizard, cramming them in, taking them out, sorting them down AGAIN, ( Read more... )

Spoke to my parents today, and found out that the meeting with the attorney was less productive than I might have hoped, but it DID reinforce cassandra_7's warning that it takes a looooong time. Apparently, the guy said to expect 8-10 months for a fiancé(e) visa to be approved, and a year or more for a spousal sponsorship. To which I say Whaaaaaaat your own ( Read more... )
