Well folks, I just got back from New York and with my return I've come to somewhat of a huge decision for me. I've decided to take a year off and defer my admission to Pace. I'm excited to go to law school and everything, but I'm tired and exhausted and sick of school and nothing bad will come from taking a year off. My parents freaked of course when I told them, they're both convinced I'm going to get knocked up or something and never make it to law school. But alas, this is my decision and my sanity depends on it.
My orientation this week was great and everything and I like the school and the classes I attended weren't too insane. But I was literally the youngest one at my orientation and the only one I talked to (out of like 40) who was going straight from Undergrad. Some were coming straight from grad school, but most had taken at least a year off before the plunge into 1-L. It's a big fucking deal and I don't think my parents really understand the huge committment it's going to be. The suicide rate among 1-L's is high for a reason.
I'll take one of the jobs they'd offered me at work when I hadn't decided if I was taking time off yet, and make some sweet moolah. Plus, this is a good way to cut the cord between me and the 'rents. For those of you who know me and my relationship with them, you know how controlling they can be. I'm just as bad because I love that they are so proud of me and want to please them (like most kids), but I have to step back and remember that I'm only 21 years old. I have my whole fucking life ahead of me, and I'm in no rush.
But yeah, so get used to me bein here cuz I'm stickin around for another year.
