2 months of news

So I kind of suck at this whole posting thing. Maybe it is because not much is going on. July was spent finishing up the swim season (we did awesome btw) and finishing the whole relaxing summer. :) For my Birthday I went gambling, which I decided I wasn't very good at, but it was still fun. Then I went out to dinner with my parents to Olive Garden, we even got dessert. :) The next day my parents left for Maine, and since my sister was in Florida, I had a huge blow out party! :-D OK... maybe I didn't, but I sure did enjoy having the house to myself for 5 days.

August has been spent looking for jobs and getting ready for law school applications... researching schools, studying for the LSAT (I'm taking it again at the end of September). The more I look into law schools, the more it sounds interesting, and like something I could do, would enjoy doing, and would be good at. I've looked at a bunch of schools... my safety schools, so far, are around here, but my goal is to get into one of the top schools on the east coast... Cornell, Duke, Virginia, Boston University, George Washington, etc...

I'm leaving to head up to Evansville in a little while. I want to see some friends, and it gives me an opportunity to ask my professors for reccomendations in person, as well as get the registrar to send my transcript without too much hassle. I'll be back early Saturday afternoon, I am lifeguarding a pool party in a neighbor's back yard. As far as September goes... my plan is study for the LSAT and work on applications/personal statements for universities. That's all form Memphis for me. :)
