We'll see...
Well... went to my office for the first time yesterday, and it was really eventful. I'm looking forward to this a lot. I won't go back until next week because I'm back in training, but I'm really excited for it. This whole experience has been really interesting so far. I'm starting to really understand why law schools want their admits to have worked for a year or two before they start. Before I didn't really get it I guess. I knew that it was a different experience to work full time with a career-oriented job, but I thought my years of part time work were good enough, I mean it's still work, but now... I don't know, it's more different than I expected, and now I feel silly for not realizing it before. I guess it's just one of those life experience things... can't know it til you do it. It's really neat, and I'm really excited to do the job.
Earlier this week I emailed the Dean of ASU Law to see if I can defer my admission for this fall to next fall. He is the one who called me a superstar when he talked to my mom, and called my cell phone to offer me scholarships, and just about begged me to enroll, so I thought it would be worth asking even though the standard policy is that you have to start over. I think he might let me because he told me he'd pull out my file and let me know, and really I was expecting him to be like, no way jose. So today I checked my transcripts from ASU because I need to send them to the LSDAS if I do have to reapply or if I'm going to apply to any new schools for next year. When I checked them though instead of saying that my degree program was sociology it said juris doctor, so I was way confused, but a little excited because maybe that could mean that the Dean changed something around and is letting me have admission for next fall. I don't know though, and I can't take the waiting to find out! Hopefully I will get a chance to call him tomorrow to see if he has done anything. I'm excited. I am probably going to apply to UA Law too, because it's the same price as ASU, but maybe I can get a different or better financial aid package there, or maybe I would like to go there just to get far enough away, ya know? I don't know how I feel about Tucson, but we'll see I guess. I just want to see what the Dean from ASU said!
Before next fall though, I have to take some other classes to I don't go into repayment of my student loans. GCC has a degree program in Administration of Justice, and they offer Constitutional Law, Procedural Criminal Law, and Substantive Criminal Law, so I am gonna take two of those this spring. I'm really excited because those are the topics that I'm interested in, and it will be cool to get to learn about them without the insane pressure of actual law school. I wish I could start them sooner though, it's like another seven weeks. Oh well..
Still going to the gym every day. I haven't noticed anything getting smaller, but I have noticed that my quads are stronger and harder. Tomorrow I have my first re-assessment session so I'll get measured and stuff again. I really hope something has changed... it would be good to have that to motivate me to keep going, cause it's getting monotonous. If not, I guess I'll just have to change it up or something.
That's all for now folks. Goodnight.
