lawschoolnumbers.com has been dial-up slow this entire cycle. i pretty much only go on there to update my profile but i don’t have the time or patience to really view others’ profiles. it’s gotten a little better recently and with a lot of people winding down their cycles, it’s become highly addicting. it’s still slow during the day so i find myself staying up at ungodly hours just because lawschoolnumbers is moving a little closer to broadband speeds when the servers aren’t as overloaded.
x-posted from http://www.prach.org/blogi’ve been running into technical difficulties uploading my next vacation video but i don’t really have time to troubleshoot with that now since i’m officially preoccupied with finishing my law school apps asap. now that i’m back from cambodia and doing better with my singlehood and have decided not to teach again next year i can devote 100% of myself to finishing this application cycle that started off very half-assed.
x-posted from http://www.prach.org/blogi made a final list of law schools that i am applying to today. there are 7 that i am applying to for sure. most people apply to between 10-15. 7 is kind of on the shrimpy side. i have room enough for 10 but i don’t know which three schools to add to my list. those space are saved for the dream schools but i am afraid to dream. what can i say? out of the three schools i am considering, i miiiight have a shot at one if i’m reeeally lucky. the other two, i would only get into by mistake so that’s why i figure what’s the point? anyway, at least i’m over 90% done with 4 of my 7 applications! my goal is to have them all sent out before i leave for cambodia on the 20th.

law school app update: i got my september lsat score and it was one point below my ideal/goal. sucks!!!!!!! also, i got my first letter of recommendation in TODAY!!! eek! it is very exciting.
ironically, i am not sure if i will apply to law school anymore and even if i apply and get in, i’m not sure if i will go…. don’t ask me why. i hate it when people do that. just because. just because.
x-posted from http://www.prach.org/blogi am trying to focus on the simples pleasures in life since i have gone through a rather turbulent time lately.
last night i bought a copy of the 7th and last season of the golden girls and started watching it with my friend. it was so fun! i love that show so much. it made me so happy to do that.
right now i’m deciding on whether i want to take another test prep class for the september lsat. i’ve taken 2 before but always ended up missing 25-30% or more of the class because of life issues. i wonder what it would be like to take the whole class. at the same time, most of the information will be redundant and it’s a lot of time and money to invest and i don’t know how much more it will raise my score. hmm, the more i think about it, the more i am leaning toward taking the full class. sigh. i wish the september administration of the test was tomorrow. i want to be done with this already.
i am also thinking about hiring an admissions consultant (maybe anna ivey) to help with my application and personal statement. maybe they will be able to give me good advice on what to do about retaking the lsat. i don’t know whether i should stress my refugee status and being homeless or my teaching experience more in my personal statement.
