Testing (and) the waters


This morning, I got up semi-early for a Saturday and walked to the library to take a practice LSAT test. While this was not the most fun experience ever, I managed to increase my previous practice scores by about 5 points :) I hope I continue to see an improvement for the next six weeks until I actually take the exam on September 26. That's when one 4-hour test will determine my law school future.

Last night, I went on a walk with a good friend, Randi, twice around Gray's Lake. It's always great to get out in the fresh air and talk to another person about things that are on your mind, especially when they can relate to you and your weird "girliness". I am also going back to Gray's later on today (when it's not so flipping hot outside) to paddleboat. This is one of the few times this summer I have actually gone out and enjoyed the summer this year, so I am grateful for the weather and comraderie.

I am also considering possibilities for vacations in the next year or so. With law school approaching next year, I have realized that if I don't travel in the next 9 months or so, I likely won't for a long time unless I study abroad the summer after my 1L year. Thus, I applied for my passport on Tuesday and cannot wait to book a ticket for an adventure! I am not impulsive and rarely have made it out of the Midwest (in fact, I have never been out of the country), and I thought in the past that traveling was an expense I could afford not to partake in. I now have realized that I do not want to be bitter that I have not gone anywhere 20 or 30 years from now, so my upcoming, yet-to-be-determined travel plans I am now considering investments in myself. And I am excited!!!

On that note, I will go back to watching "Trailer Park Boys", a crude "guilty pleasure" Canadian TV show that I was introduced to a few months back.
