New Direction! Law School!

Yes, I know I haven't posted in the longest time, and so I am sure my fans have been in dire straits, but fear not! I'm back! Though I am now going to be taking this blog in a new direction. No longer will I be focusing solely on issues related to technology. Yes, I know it is a sad day for those of you who worshiped my great ability to discuss technology, but please, cheer up, because from now on I will be chronicling my life, the life of a college graduate intent on getting into law school.

Yes, this geek is going to law school! . . . hopefully that is. Now, none of you should know this, but I attended an undergraduate program that is very rare in this country, one of only three or so that meet certain similarities. One of the aspects of this program that isn't so rare is that for the majority of my classes, I received narrative evaluations in place of numerical grades. In fact I personally only took one class for a grade, and that was only because the professor was an idiot. So with one class, my average undergraduate GPA is a 3.00! Another aspect of this program that I participated in that is much more unique than receiving evaluations instead of grads is that I was able to design my own degree and title it.

So right now I have a self titled B.A. from a small liberal art's college, and a bunch of mediocre evaluations. Yeah, I wasn't the greatest fucking student. Why not? Why the hell would an intelligent student planning on going to law school let himself do shitty in college? Ah, now we get to the route of the problem. For the first two and a half years of college I had no idea what the hell I wanted to do. I only tentatively decided upon law school sometime during my junior year and finalized my decision during the first part of senior year.

So I'm working on upping my LSAT score, currently around a 158
Save Now, by attending a prep course by The Princeton Review. More on that in the next post. Eventually I plan on having posts chronicling my days and all of the mediocrity that that entails.
