As soon as I got back I was greeted with an 10 page law paper to write in three days, which is now, thankfully, over. After that there'll be a whole lot more reading, two twenty page term papers, a couple shorter papers etc. I am so ready to go! Perhaps it's the sophomore slump. When school gets out, I'll have about three weeks to focus on getting ready for the trail and cram for the LSAT. For those who aren't experts on the Law School Admission Test, it's basically 6 35-minute sections of pure joy that seems to matter more than anything for getting into the law school(s) of my dreams. Basically (at least for the high end of scores), each question wrong subtracts one point from the perfect score of 180. Scores of 170+ are what I need, and for whatever reason, getting a 174 is vastly better than getting a 171, which seems kinda silly to me since it's only a difference of 3/125 questions. C'est la vie. I will jump through these hoops. It's not even like they're the flaming hoops or anything, so it shouldn't be a problem.Anyhow, as soon as the LSAT extravaganza is over (well, maybe a day later) we will start the A.T. adventure. Hooray! It's kind of a weird feeling to be so excited about doing something that I think will be so hard, but I think I'd be having a hard time staying sane for the rest of the semester if I didn't have something in mind that can keep pulling me forward.
In Ireland I walked at least 50 miles in my hiking boots, and absolutely no complaints. Ever since we got back I've been wearing other shoes, which have seemed really wimpy and also really unsupportive in comparison. I'm spoiled forever. So much for my short (but sweet) phase of wearing girly shoes. My only recent gear purchase is a sleeping pad, from Steep and Cheap, which I plan to use on the upcoming 2-Nite campout (April 3-5). Not much else to report, so I'll get back to the trying to bail out some of the homework which is threatening to sink me, at least metaphorically.
