A Week of Reflection

Dear Everybody,

Well, one full week has past since I received my rejection from Rutgers. I try not to think of it as something negative because it really isn't when I come to think of it. I suprisingly have put it behind me and have been able to reflect on it and move on. Although any rejection hurts no matter what, I see it now as an opportunity to better myself and give myself another chance at this whole thing. I want to be able to look back at these times and just laugh my ass off at these struggles.

I still have not heard anything from Seton Hall, but I kinda know what to expect. I used to camp by the mail box, but now I just go to it just for the sake of checking the mail. Although not hearing from them still gives me a little sliver of hope, I know deep down that what awaits me is probably not good.

After my rejection from Rutgers, I discussed more in depth about the LSAT course with my dad and possibly other options as well. He said I should give myself another shot and take this course just to see if I can get my score up. He also said I need to change my outlook on this whole thing. I have to stop thinking that I'm gonna fail and just be positive. I need to overcome my test anxiety. Your attitude has so much impact on your success. As far as other options are concerned, I just need to think about what I can do if this law school thing doesn't work out. But right now I want to focus my attention on this one thing. Also, on March 29th, I have an appointment with a psychiatrist. I'm hoping that this doctor's visit will help me clear my head and steer me in the right direction for this test. I'll discuss the doc thing more in depth in a future post.

Today I am leaving for Miami. I will be spending a week there enjoying the warmth and beaches. I hope this vacation will leave me rested so that when I come back, I can have a clear head and be able to start this whole thing over again in April.
