Leaving Law School
It comes to this: I miss being an engineer more than I want to be an attorney.
My former boss has said that if I come back to Atlanta he would definitely rehire me.
I was concerned that withdrawing might leave a black mark on my record should I ever want to go to school for some other degree, or if I lost my mind and reapplied to law school. An adviser I spoke with said that dropping before finals would essentially make my record "go poof" (he even pinched his fingertips together and fanned them out for dramatic effect). As long as I file a withdrawal form before the exams start there will be no grades to report. I don't have to stress through exams in a vain effort to guard my future options.
What am I going to do? I'm going to float my resume around DC for a few weeks and see if there is anything that turns up here that grabs me. However, my previous job gave me a lot of personal satisfaction doing some small part battling cancer. My prediction is that I'll move back to Atlanta into a house my cousin is having trouble selling while I look for a place inside the perimeter.
I already have tickets for Dragon*Con 2007.
