Still waiting....

Yes, peeps. It's been 14 weeks now and I am STILL waiting for the results from my last law school application from my #1 choice. I am not anxious right - more annoyed than anything. I thought I would hear from them by now. The sad truth is that orientation is on August 17th and want to make sure that I am financially ready for starting law school upon acceptance. I can not do ANYTHING until I accepted.

**sigh**

I even broke down today and called the Admissions Office to check on the status of my application. Their answer - NO DECISION YET.

Well, I am now back to waiting again.

Strike THREE!!

Yes.....it happened AGAIN! Same emotions. Same frustrations!

Now down to ONE law school left - my #1 pick. I hope to get some good news instead of the rejections.

Now I can only wait....

Strike TWO!!

Yup! Two days after receiving my 1st rejection letter, I received my 2nd one from #3 pick while home sick with sinus issues. I received it only less than ONE WEEK after receiving a confirmation that my application was complete and notified that a decision would take 6 to 8 weeks. It is a very disturbing observation.

It now leaves my #1 and #4 law schools picks. Right now, I am starting to not care which one I get into as long as I get into a law school period.

I am supposed to schedule to volunteer for Sunday's Shamrock Shuffle, but playing day by day right now. I need to focus on resting and allowing this crap to run its course so I return to work on Monday.

Back to wedding planning to keep my mind off this development.

Strike ONE!

I got my letter from one of my law school applications.

Unfortunately, the news is not good. The news stung and dealing with it as best as I can. I still have three schools to hear from. I hope to get better news soon.

Seeing the Light at the End of the Tunnel

Well, things have been very busy lately, but things are slowly coming together. Here's a short summary of what's going on.

• One more week of the LSAT prep course.....
• .....which means that I am one week away from the LSAT exam. I see the LIGHT!
• I have all of my Law School applications completed and sent off.
• I am closer to my goal weight now.
• I just finished my 2nd week in my new position and love it. I have caught on very quickly with what I have learned and have impressed myself.
• My new heart medication has been working very well, but have not had any time to go to the gym to try it out on the treadmill yet. I hope to do it very soon. I want to get back running again.
• Josh and I have our first European vacation set up for May. It will involve lots of beer and chocolate. I am learning Dutch as part of the preparation for the trip during my commute to and from work, which has been fun and easy to do since I have 2 1/2 years of German under my belt.
• We also have another return trip to Minnesota planned. My best friend, Chris, even set us with a nice deal at his hotel, which I am completely grateful for. I am looking forward to spending time with kids while I am in town.

Now off to bed since I have one more practice exam to do before the big day.

LSAT........DONE!

Now I have to wait for the scores to come back. I am hoping for good results. But it will not stop me from celebrating tonight.

Almost making my end-year goal of getting my law school applications done. After celebrating, time to write my personal statement and complete it before the results come back.

No running yet. Will explain more later when I am ready.

Returning to Running....

.....in 10 days.

I need to allow my ankle to heal a little bit more. My big toe needs to do a lot of its ABC's.

My plan for 2009 involves NO MARATHONS...period. I need to completely rehab my ankle and regain my speed again. I will be looking at HM when I go to the Chicago Marathon expo next weekend.

Right now, I am preparing for a December 2008 LSAT exam. Tommorow I am visiting one of my law school picks as I start to get serious about the next step of my career. I just need to get some luck on the job market so I can switch careers.

A Picture of a College Graduate

Today's a rest day. I finally got my confirmation on my Graduation photos from the professional photographer.

Now officially starting my summer pet project - the LSAT and LAW SCHOOL admissions.

LSAT Deadline - October 4 (one week before Chicago!) - TEST DAY!

Law School Deadline - December 15 (priority deadline!)

Tommorow - 50 minute run

It's official...

I am going to have work my ASS off this last class in order to graduation with an awesome GPA. 1st week assignment - 1000+ word paper on preparing a research study. Oh joy!

BTW, I signed up to take a practice LSAT test on December 3. It's looking much better than the GRE right now.
