I have a sweatshirt from Adelphi that says "Good to Go." I got it senior year. Today, I had another LSAT prep session with the Director of the Center for Student Learning. I went to him because I had no earthly idea how to approach the logic games section on the test. He put me to the test the first day, gave me a piece of chalk and told me to read the problem and diagram it on a chalkboard. I failed miserably. It all looked like gibberish and I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Today, he gave me a problem and within 5 minutes, I had solved all the questions correctly. As I left, he told me I was "Good to Go" and that I had made very good progress. Made me pretty proud.
On the other hand, I'm reading a book that one of my professors loaned me. It's called One-L and it's about a Harvard Law student's first year. It's absolutely terrifying and as I read it I can't tear myself away from it. But it's freaking me out and I don't know if this is what I want to put myself through. It just seems like a life of stress forever and ever amen. I suppose after you do anything for awhile it becomes simpler. You figure out the codes, you connect all the dots. It just seems ridiculously challenging now.

Whoa. I just read your updates. Woman, to know you so well, I never would have guessed that you'd apply to law school. But now that the idea is slowly sinking in, I know you could make a damn good lawyer. In fact I remember the first time I met you, you were arguing some historical political point with Andy Walls in the Bassett commons, and you were slaughtering anyone who disagreed with you, and I thought, "I want to be friends with that girl."
Good luck studying for the LSAT. Remember who you are -- meaning, that you are not, by nature, stressed out. Kick ass. :)
Lauren just told me about law school. I think it's perfect for you and I can't imagine someone that would make a better lawyer! I couldn't agree more about being intimidated looking at the big picture, but I have faith in your abilities. :) In the words of Chris "Rock." :)
