tightening your tourniquet, waiting for it, waiting for it.
So the LSATs are finally over with as of yesterday morning. I'm both releived and anxious at the same time. If I get a 165, I have a good chance at going to GWU, but if I get anything lower I think my chances are very slim. So all I can do is cross my fingers and wait for my score to come in. It's more than safe to say Georgetown and Harvard are out of the picture... American is a safety net.
Most of my anxiety over the test is coming from the fact that I have no plan B in mind for my future. I really don't know what to do if I don't get into law school. I'm not even sure if law school is really what I want. I don't want law school if I can't study in the Constitutional/Civil Rights area and do something with women's studies at the same time. So it isn't really the problem of getting into other schools as much as it is that the other schools don't have the programs I want. 4 years and over 100,000 in loans is too much to invest into anything other than the exact program I want to persue.
This is quite possibly the worst situation that a type A personality could be thrown into. I have to keep telling myself that things will work out, and that there's other things I could do besides going to law school. I could master in women's studies or political science or even sociology. All I know is that in the next 3 weeks I have to get my heart set on something else realistic, to cope with the inevitable feelings of depression if my scores come back below a 165.
Also, I'm going to put all of the time and devotion I've been putting into studying for the damn test into working out and becoming healthier. And also making money, because I'm really poor. So, I'm going for a jog for the first time in 4 weeks and then go work my tush off for hungry Cracker Barrell people. Wish me luck.
