i'm doing it. i'm taking a year off after i graduate. i've changed my LSAT date to February, and that's the final piece locking me into it.

i'm excited. i was scoping out the potential jobs through the JVC, and there are a million interesting and exciting things to do. some that struck my interest were as an investigator, a paralegal, and assistant to a public defender (among endless other things). the places to go are equally as interesting. i've heard a lot of good things about the northwest region (washington, montana, alaska, etc.) and the southwest (especially california) is alluring. i'm honestly open to pretty much anywhere, but NYC intimidates me. i don't think i'm ready for the jump to such a big city quite yet. this whole thing offers me a fresh start, a solid job, and the chance to go somewhere i might never have the chance to go otherwise. the opportunities are endless.

i'm scared. it's something so different for me. i've never been a terribly adventurous person, so this is a big step. i'd be going somewhere completely new, without any safety net of friends or family. there are a lot of "what ifs" that i don't think i want to wrap my head around right now.

big, life-altering decisions are supposed to scare you, right?
