I've come to an important decision recently.
I'm going back to schooooool. I'm going to say F to my linguistics major, get everything in order to graduate with my philosophy degree (which means only taking the required phy. ed. class, as far as I can tell), rock the LSATs face, and apply to law school. I would still like to go to U of M, but I'm almost certain my slacking has burned that bridge, however I'm confident I can get into hamlin and get a good scholarship to go with it. The nice thing about places like Hamline is, or at least was, that most of the emphasis in getting in is placed on LSAT scores, because tehy want to raise their mean LSAT as much as possible. That means if you have a good LSAT, they are more apt to take you because you help them look good.
Anyways, it all sounds peachy keen, but tehre are a few snags. Most importantly, I've got this job. I won't be going to school until next fall, but I'm not sure what they will think about that. If they will want me to continue to work here until then, or if they will want me to go sooner than later before they invest anymore into me so I can ditch out. Or, do I even want to stay that long? Dont' get me wrong, I like my job, but it's really not what I envisioned for myself, and after the initial learnign curve was over, it got boring. Still I am greatful and don't want to screw them over, but I can't let that hold me back.
Then of course there is Caleb (will he move with me? :3), Tyke, and money to think about. I'll only have health insurance for one year while i'm in school (you lose it at 25), and I don't want to have to work full time while I'm in law school to afford rent.
So many things to consider! But one thign I know for sure is that I can't draft people's estate plans for the rest of my life. Spending so much time thinking about what happens to people when they die results in me spending way too much time thinking about death, including my own, which leads to me being depressed and anxious.
Y'all are always full of wise-ass replies and comments, but any serious advice would be appreciated as well. Decisions are hard.
