For the past 3 weeks I have been attending a intensive LSAT prep course in Little Rock that has taken up quite a bit of my time. After the 4th class I began questioning myself, asking "Why am I doing this"? "Is this really truly what I want to do with my life"? I honestly had to take a day to think and reevaluate things. There is alot of money, time, and energy at stake, I had better be darn sure I'm not wasting any of it.
Upon hearing about my doubtful revelation, Jeremy promptly pushed me out the door saying,
"You need time to think". So here I am, keys in hand and sitting in the car. I don't even know what "alone time" is anymore. I could not for the life of me figure out what to do. I began driving and ended up at the gym... lol yes I know, but I needed to get in my workout anyway.
So I hopped on the elliptical hoping to come to some sort of a epiphany while blasting Rihanna in my ear. And who walks in? The very person who has mentored me in everything according to law thus far. Now that is fate!!!
He is a very busy attorney, so we don't get to speak as often as we would like. It's one of those "tag-your-it" friendships. But I have always regarded him as a father- figure type. And he truly is one of the most brilliant men I've ever met.
So...back to the story. He sees me and hops on the elliptical beside me with a casual "Hi Jeanny, why don't you ever clean out your voicemail"? I give a slight grin and make some candid remark about how that is the pot calling the kettle black.... over the next 45 minutes we proceed to have a very insightful yet casual conversation about my possible career in law while remarking how ridiculous Fox news has become.
After bidding him goodbye, I walk back out to my car and drive back home. I have come to the conclusion that it IS worth it. If I can have the same impact on someone else that my mentor has had on me, that alone would be enough. I'm not really sure what made me have a momentary change of heart....I guess maybe I had a moment of laziness? Self-doubt? I'm really not sure. But I do know that anything worth having is worth working hard for.
Honestly, up until now. I have only been 70% into it. Now that I have made my mind up I'm in it 110%. I have decided to make a couple of changes to ensure successful admission. One of them being my LSAT test date. I had originally set my test date for October the 9th. I have now extended it for the December testing. By changing this I will be allowing myself more time to be adequately prepared.
Anyone that knows me well knows how uncompromising I can be....in this case that trait will be most benefiting....
Until next time my loves, wish me luck......
Hello Baylor Law, I hope you are ready for me.
