"there's so much in you, so much more than anyone will ever know..."

Today, I am starting the law school application process.
I'm applying to the following schools for admission next fall: University of California Hastings (San Francisco), University of California Davis (Sacramento), Temple (Philly), Villanova (Philly), Rutgers (Camden, NJ).
Backup schools: WVU, University of San Francisco, Golden Gate University (San Francisco, obviously), Widener (Delaware).

Notice that I'm not applying to any Pittsburgh schools, and I have backups in other states. This means that in 9 months, I will most definitely be moving out of Pittsburgh. It seems like that's a long time, but I know it'll go by so fast. Just think about the past 9 months!

And after this month, I will have enough money to pay off all of my credit cards. Now I just need to find a real job to start next month so I keep having a nice income. That should be easy, since I now have legal experience to supplement my education! Unfortunately, then I will have to start paying a car payment and what I owe my mom. But that's nothing compared to $5,000 worth of 20-27.99% APR credit card balances!

Oh, and about the vagueness the other day... Certain things were making me think I might be getting manic. I'm currently on anti-depressants, which bring me up, but I haven't yet reached my full dosage of mood stabilizer, which will balance me out and keeps me from going too far up... so I was worried that that's what was happening. I've been a little flightly lately, in case you didn't notice.
But it turns out that I'm probably not manic at all- it was probably just excessive amounts of caffeine. I stopped drinking a million cups of coffee, shots of espresso and diet mountain dew yesterday, and now I seem to be doing fine. And the ideas and stuff are most likely just a result of my newfound freedom and love for life. I haven't been excited about anything in a very long time, so it may seem like I'm going a thousand miles per hour when I'm actually just functioning like a normal human being for once in a long time.

Oh, and I was thinking about going to see The Spunks at BNW tomorrow night, but I'd have to hurry home... then I realized that they're playing a late show at the Smiling Moose! So I'll probably go to that if I get enough rest tonight.

Does anyone want to go shopping at Pittsburgh Mills H&M with me on Saturday? I'm getting annoyed, because I have SO much money, but nowhere to spend it!
