Found out the law school will not accept me back. I failed an exam, and my GPA wasn't high enough to absorb that F. It is currently (with the F) at 1.98. It needs to be a 2.00.
That sucks.
I've never failed a class before. When i went back to examine the exam (ha!) my professor and I realized that my error wasn't due to lack of knowledge. My error occurred when I transferred my answers from the exam booklet to the scan tron. 8 of the 14 I got wrong were transferred incorrectly. If I had not transferred them in error, the professor said I would have received at least a C+ for the class.
That sucks.
I was told to wait my requisite time period and reapply as a full time student; none of my previous passing grades will apply. So I basically spent two years of my life doing nothing.
That sucks.
I don't think I can go back to law school. I never considered not being allowed back in. I have a master's degree, so I suppose I'm equipped to find a real career job doing something...but what? I thought I'd be a lawyer, and that's what I liked doing.
I need to find a new job now. I'm a law clerk, and they want to keep me, but I make so little money that I'm behind every month. Tough to find a job right now--bet you didn't need me to tell you that, did you.
So now I'm whining at you about this. Not really sure why. Maybe it's cathartic?
