Attention all.

I read Tuesdays with Morrie, and I liked it. That's all.

Freedom and stuff

So this past weekend I took a little trip to New York and Washington DC. It was my first time in New York since I was like 8, and I'd never been to DC before. Basically, this trip rocked.
Wednesday night I took the Red Eye from Salt Lake to Newark, then I took the train into Manhattan, then the subway down to downtown, and walked over to New York Law School. After the open house, I walked around town, saw lots of stuff (Ground Zero, Wall Street, Canal Street, Times Square) then took a train to DC, then the Metro to Germantown.
I stayed with my friends David and April Honeycutt in DC, and on Friday I took the Metro downtown to see the monuments and stuff. I saw tons of stuff - all the major monuments and memorials, plus a sweet triceratops skeleton.
On Saturday Dave, April and I went to Harpers Ferry. While I didn't see any abolitionist stand offs, I did see the C&O canal, or rather it's remnants. That was cool. Then I flew back Sunday afternoon on yet another horrible flight (if I don't get 1 bad flight for every 2 I go on, I'm convinced the universe will implode. and that's a bad thing.)

Anyway, the true purpose of the trip was to check out New York Law, and try to determine if I feel like attending there. Well, at this point I'm still undecided. I loved the city, and I liked the school. But the professors certainly didn't do much to persuade me that Law is the right path for me. I'm going to continue researching it, praying about it, and hopefully figure out which direction I'm going with my life.

Report tomorrow.

I'm back from my massive travels and I'm whupped. I'll report tomorrow...

Decision

So over the next few weeks, I have to make a very, very difficult decision. The only Law School I've been accepted to is in New York City, and I'm going out there for an open house next week. I've now been rejected from my top 3 schools (BYU, Utah, and ASU), so in reality the question becomes "Do I really want to be a lawyer?"

Being a lawyer could make me a lot more money in the long run, but would I be happier than I am now? I really enjoy my life here in Utah, mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, camping... Of course, the flip side of that is that sometimes my current job drives me crazy.

Anyway, that's the struggle I'm in right now.
