sabSo what I need to find is a law school that'll take me without a BA. Or that will let me do the degrees simultaneously. Preferably in the greater NY metropolitan area. But whatever. And I don't want to talk about it. I just want to do it. I've thought about it for years. It's time. I'd do great in law school.
Thanksgiving. Migraine. Heart murmur. Danbury. The Abyss. Japanese chicken kara-age. Evian. Winston lights.
she burns all her notes, she knows, she's been here too few years to feel this old.
Oh, and about 30,000 dollars I need, also.
Brooklyn. chocolate. Coffee. Winston lights. Family. Thanksgiving. My grandfather, looking like a little old man for the first time, and in my dream my father said, "don't worry, mom's ready for him to go." The Abyss. The Andromeda Strain. On Rosh Hashanah I saw cropdusters over southeast Connecticut, and they're tracking the Anthrax trail. MSNBC. Work. Farscape. Money. Australia. Jo. G. Helen. Danbury. Punk. wen. The website. Winston lights. Evian. 30,000 dollars. Egg sales.
and if there's nothing there to ease this ache, if it's the same for you I'll just hang.
30,000 dollars. Law school. Rich relatives. dying.

Date: 2001-11-26 11:00 pm (UTC)If you want, I will tell you my tales of law school. Which I enjoyed, yes, I did. I had a great time in law school. But I'm a bit of a freak. So are you but we aren't much alike.
So I'll say this: be very very sure this is what you want. Because it's not $30,000, it's more like $90,000 and it's three years of your life and you will never think the same again and no one will ever look at you the same again and even if you finish it and discover you don't like doing it you've spent the money, taken on the loans, gotten the letters after your name.
And the people! Some of the people you meet in law school are fabulous: others are really everything all those jokes and tv shows warn you lawyers are like, and then some. With sprinkles on top. Because high grades mean more money, and they'll do anything for that.
Then there's the bar: I wouldn't wish sitting for the California bar on Scorpius. ... well, maybe Scorpius -- but no one else, not even Jool. It makes your brains leak out through all the orifices on your body.
But first you gotta get the undergrad degree. And maybe borrow a casebook from your friend and see what she has to read on a regular basis.
Just be sure, that's all I'm saying. Be sure.
