I'm finally done with Law School + Grad School Applications!!

For those of you who still need to know, the grand plan now is to do a joint Law School / Grad School (International Relations), succeed with flying colors in order to join the UN, change the world for the better, and eventually be Inter-galactic president of the... well... inter-galaxy. Okay, maybe I'm exagerating a bit, but that's the general idea.

More pragmatically, I'm hoping that having applied to 6 law schools and 5 grad schools, I'll have something to do come Fall.

In the mean time, the plan was to pick up and move to SF. I have two pretty good job leads there right now, thanks very much to past and present sape friends in the area. However, if neither of those turn out anything (With my job-hunting luck - I wouldn't be too surprised), I might be staying in Dallas a bit longer than I expected - problem is that my back isn't stabalizing - I can't walk more than a block without losing feeling in my leg - I can't even follow the sit/stand/sit/stand/sit/stand routine of a Catholic mass without having to sit while everyone else is standing. But then perhaps I'm overdramaticizing this a bit. In any case, the bottom line is, Dallas right now is a much better place for me to heal than SF.

In other news, my buddy Chris Lau (who some of you may remember had the joy of finally finding a new job a few months ago) has promptly been laid off again. I might be taking a short trip, between phyisical therapy sessions, down to Austin to visit him and my other buddy David Blagggg. \o/!

I've been really tired, worn-out this past week or so. My physical therapy dude Edwin tells me my body is getting worn down dealing with my injured back. This sucks. I'm going to bed.

Oh, oh a brighter note, just finished the Yale, and USC law school apps today - the last of my law school apps - yay! (USC wasn't on my list, but they waived my application fee, and it's in surfing country, so I applied). Working on my last 3 grad school apps. Should be done by end of week!
Sent in the Columbia and UT law school apps yesterday. Yale law today, and the rest of the grad school apps. Booya!
