Ergh I’ve run out of people to tell about my stoopid LSAT score. Now I have to think about whether or not I can git my tay-el into one of those schools. Those schools, Harvard, Stanford, Yale…names I only know from teen movies and the like. Can I paint myself black for a scholarship? I most likely can’t get in, since they take gpas from 3.77 and up and the top 5% of the LSAT folk. Gee, I’m in the lowly top 10% of the LSAT, and only had a 3.5 undergrad gpa, sigh. I have NO IDEA what they’ll think of my MA degree with 3.52 gpa, AA degree with 3.86 gpa, Hispanic status, or the over 7 years of employment law experience with the Labor Dept. If I did get in, how the hell would I pay for it? What, besides gloat and later feel smug, would I do with that education? Why the fuck am I going to go to school now that I’m 34?

I’m not about to take one of those killer jobs that law grads always seem to be jumping for – where you pay your dues working 80 or more hours a week as a law slave. I’m pretty much a 40 hour per week man, and I feel like I’ve paid my damn dues already. I can take less money, far less money, if I can retain my life and sanity. Well, sanity…can’t lose what you don’t have :)

Did I mention that I did well on the test? Whee! I was hoping all the dumb people would take it in October, and they did!

Because it's named Harvard, pretty much. It was like, you know, in that one movie, where the guy, like, really, like REALLY, wanted to go?

No logical reason, it's just a big name. If I went, then I'd be a much more successful slacker with that on my resume!
