| Someone mentioned that I should start keeping a journal of my journey into getting into law school, so I decided to pick up my old xanga to chronicle the adventures.
Back in September I decided I was going to take the Lsat and apply for law school. The Lsat is the Law School Admissions Test : ) So I took it on September 30th. It was more difficult then the SAT and more intense then the GRE, but I walked out thinking I bombed. I had to wait until Monday, Oct 23rd for my results. So the next few weeks were stomach churning! I have literally been counting down the days.
The odd thing is though, I went to NOTU in dallas this past weekend, and I knew I was going to be nervous/preoccupied all weekend. On friday night I was checking my email on my phone before service started and low and behold there was an email waiting for me with my lsat results. Its kinda interesting that I kept thinking Monday was D-Day, and here they spring it on me early. It was a big weight off my shoulders though, and I was able to enjoy the rest of the weekend without a care in the world.
I made in the 61% on my scores, meaning I did better then 61% of the other people that took the test, but in all honesty I was hoping I would do much better. My dream was to get into University of Texas law school, but I am pretty certain that my scores aren't good enough for that.
I am going to be applying to the following schools though: Baylor, SouthTexas College of Law, University of Houston, St. Marys, and Texas Tech. I am even leaning towards a few out of state schools. Just depends on what my gut tells me.
The early admission deadline is November 1st, so I am spending this week filling out all my apps and working on my personal statement. Then its all a waiting game.
More updates coming as things get sent off and (cross yours fingers) I get accepted somewhere!

| I just found out last night that my brother and his family will soon be moving from Phoenix to San Antonio. heh I might be seeing you SA kids more often once this happens : ) | | |
| Just sitting here at work listening to the Trojan records Reggae sisters album. Good stuff. I love my girl Lonna for turning me onto this.
I haven't been to church in the past two weeks. One weekend I was in SA for the Social D show, and last weekend I went home to see my mom and pops. I needed a little rest, and going home is like a safe haven. No worries, no cares, just good ole mom making me breakfast and kissing my boo-boos better. Being a grown up is totally overated : )
I have been struggling for two weeks or so here. Just feeling down and out. I have been doing a fair bit of drinking with the girls on the weekends. I find myself telling myself that I need a beer to feel better or just to forget about the shitty week I just had. I know, I know... but I am who I am now, and judgement is not welcome here at the moment. I am 26 years old though, and I don't feel convicted with having a beer every once in a while. Its up to God to change that in me. Anyway God loves me for my faults and for my goodness.
Nation of the Underground is in two weeks, as is the Beer Olympics in Atlanta. I will be going to Atlanta. I took a friend of mine to cstone with me, so in return I promised I would go to the Beer Olympics with her. I am kinda glad of it too. I feel like I will turn more jaded if I go to Nation. I have a lot of bitterness in my heart right now. It just surfaces every once in a while. Hanover Saints will be playing at the Beer Olympics though, so thats a highlight. I also told Kyle of Flatfoot that I would burn a whole bunch of his CDs and force drunk skinheads to take them : ) hehe
I have pick up Abba's Child by Brennan Manning again. Man I love this book. It speaks volumes in one chapter. Its neat that God uses our imperfections as a witness. We don't even realize it. I am wrapping my brain around that right now.
Just a little update. Don't mean to sound bitter, mean, ungrateful, or harsh. This is actually a good day compared to many I have had lately.
love ya, Mo | | |
| Well God sure does work in mysterious ways : ) Looks like Houston is getting a little church going. If you feel so inclined, please Pray that God blesses Unity Fellowship. Houston needs something badly.
I am a bit conflicted about becoming involved, but I know its what God wants... and I know these feelings I am having are just Satan doing his best to bring up the past and discourage me.
Check it out and keep it in your prayers!

| Just a little update for anyone that cares : )
Miss Rebecca is coming to Houston this week to live with me for a little bit, okay for a couple of days. heh but I am excited about having someone around my apartment to talk to at night. Thats probably the worst thing for me about living alone. Nights can suck pretty badly sometimes, and talking to someone on AIM just doesn't really cut it. She is going to get to see the big wide state of texas while she is visiting, and we are going to work on The Cherry Mafia. If you don't know what that is, you will soon enough.
I have been getting weird emails, calls, and such from friends. Some are pretty disheartening. Sometimes I just want to give up, and not care anymore. I am up to my ears in listening to other people ramble on and on about themselves, without even stopping for a moment to ask another person how their day was. It just gets draining and well I guess I am at my breaking point so to speak. I used to think I was a good listener, but now I just don't care anymore. It gets old and after 26 years, I am just getting more and more numb to caring. Harsh? maybe, but I am just speaking my thoughts and getting it out.
I went up to Austin this past friday to see Stiff Little Fingers and hang out with my friend Tiny. To my great surprise I also ran into two of the sweetest girls from the city of San Antonio. It was a wonderful night, and it was good to see those ladies.
I feel like I am experiencing different convictions then a lot of my friends. I have a feeling it will result in them looking down upon me. I think if I told all of my friends how I really felt, then no one would talk to me. I dunno how I feel about that. It just makes me sad how we all judge one another so harshly. It makes me glad I am not involved in a church sometimes. I have been burned way to many times, and its a scary thought in my mind to get involved with yet another christian organization that is going to make me cry once again and get angry at God once again.
Hmm, I didn't intend to write all this, but its just coming out. Maybe its like therapy. heh These are just thoughts and feelings.
I am hoping I get to see most of you next weekend in Dallas or San Antonio.
love, Mo | | |
