Starting Out

So this is my first blog on this. I used to have a Xanga but I really didn't enjoy the format too much so I'm hoping this will go better. That's me on Halloween. ------>
The makeup is funky but it was a fun night.

So a bit about me. I'm applying to law schools and getting ready to start a whole new chapter of my life. I'm hoping this will give me a place to vent and maybe other kids will read this and realize they're not the only ones totally stressed out and feeling a bit lost at times. The applications got sent out last Wednesday (11/09). I'm hoping to know where I'm going by the time I walk for graduation. I will have heard from all the schools by then, it's just a matter of making up my mind. My rankings of the law schools I applied to are below and frequently subject to change:

1) William and Mary (VA)
2) Seton Hall (NJ)
3) Rutgers at Newark (NJ)
4) Seattle University (WA)
5) University of Oregon (OR)
6) University of Arizona (AZ)
7) Roger Williams (RI)
8) Valpo (IN)

7 & 8 are quite interchangable. They're really more back-ups I hope. William and Mary is my top choice but I really don't think I have a great chance at getting in. If you want to know more about the application process or whatever let me know. I'm debating posting my personal statement. It's quite personal though (go figure) so we will see.

Law school is my first really big decision ever. For undergrad I applied to just UA and ASU. Boht instate colleges where I had unconditional admissions. Both offered me the same scholarships. The only difference was ASU admitted me to their Honor's College. However, I decided on UA. My Mom works about 15 minutes from ASU so I knew I'd never really "grow up and move on" if I stayed that close. It's been a good expereince so far even though I almost talked myself out of going. More sometime soon I'm sure - I have a test at 9:30 in the morning so I probably should get to bed! If you read this and have suggestions about what you want to hear about let me know, otherwise I will result to rambling about my day and school. Posted by Picasa
