The LSATs are over. Now all that stands between me and law school is sending in the applications (which are nearly done!). Naturally, the LSATs cannot be taken without some measure of fuss and inconvenience. Due to my religious principles, I had to take my LSATs on Monday. The LSAC (the ruling body) decided that unless you have to travel more than 100 miles to reach a test center, then you have to hit the road. Only if you live in nowheresville can you be considered for the creation of a new testing center. Therefore, I had to take a little trip down I-40 for about an hour and a half, just under the mileage limit. I drove down on Sunday, with the help of the GPS. Using it to map out my route from my host home I pre-drove to the testing center to see how it would all shake out. The testing center was just a tiny little place in a developing office park. "How developing?", you might ask. They were doing construction the entire time the we were taking the test. We was myself and seven girls, none of whom appeared to be of the Mosaic persuasion, but two of whom may have been Seventh Day Adventists. What the rest of them were doing testing on a Monday, I could not figure. The test was hard, as it was designed to be, but I felt prepared for it and my timing was good, so I don't think I could ask for anything more.
Now, if you will recall, I already got one Big Hanukkah Present, and the completion of the LSATs definitely qualifies as #2. Now, I have already started on my money-earning endeavors, as I am typing this from the front desk at my temp job. Today I am making my calls to see if I can lock down some serious (but oh so flexible) part-time work. Once that is established, I hope to plan trips to around and out of the country. I hope to go to UNC this weekend, because frankly, it's fun and home is not.
