it dawned on me last night that it's only been a year since i've been free, legally. a YEAR. while 2007 seems to have flown by quicker than any year before, it seems like i've been off of probation for much much longer than that. strange.
in any case, the LSAT is saturday. i finished another practice test last night, and actually scored it this time. it says that my expected score ranges from 152-170 or something like that. that puts me between 65 and 90th %iles. call me kooky, but thats a big range. in any case, i think im set. so all i have to do now is get some info to LSAC, take the test, get my scores, complete my file, and apply to law school. wooah.
if i actually were to make it into law school, that would be the single most prized accomplishment of my life so far. something i can actually be proud of. i feel like over the last three years, i've been rather stunted. emotionally, professionally, mentally. and now im finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. while i actually 23, i feel like a 20 year old. i spent so much time being crazy, being arrested, being a party boy, digging myself deeper into the debt hole... basically screwing around and dealing with myself in my head... that i havent made any progress in life.
im applying to FSU's law school, and should i get in, i'd be spending three or so years in tallahassee (with Chris, who just learned that he was accepted yesterday) studying the ways of law. im going to stress out thinking about it now, but it looks hopeful. and makes me happy. and actually has me kind of motivated.
i realize im thinking in circles around this law thing. lets simplify. im happy im doing it, and i hope it goes somewhere. and i hope that i come out the other side with a wonderful new self of sense, and some crazy BANK. yeah hi, i'll the infinity in the last row. $35000? thats ok. you take cash? thanks.
nothing new to report other than that. except that i am now completely, officially broke. i dont have to worry about being more in debt, because um... its not possible. so i decided to do something i SWORE i would never do, because i thought i was above it. but it looks like im not. so if you start seeing me post about this new job that i hate, but liking the cash it puts in my pocket... thats where its coming from. details withheld, to spare myself the embarassment.
