So 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.

November, 2001.

Columbia, babe!

Hey, I so identify. Allow me to share my research.

When I looked -- which was some years ago, so you'll have to recheck, alas -- there were two top-ten law schools in the
country that would, if you impressed them sufficiently, admit you without insisting that you have an undergraduate degree.
Those two were University of Chicago -- a wonderful school, but further than you want to go -- and Columbia. Both did
insist that you have credits amounting to three years of college, but they didn't care how you'd accumulated them.

If you go this route, it helps to have great LSATs, and a good line of patter about why you don't have that BA. But it
can be done: I did it. (And yeah, it was totally worth it. Practising law isn't always fun, but law school is a
glorious ride.) You can do it, too.
