And Service Resumes
I'm back!
...Hello?
Hmm...
I've just got back from the exam and I've got quite a bit that I want to blog about. Sadly my brain has turned to clay. But I'll give it a shot.
Days Ago:
A couple of job leads had me hoping about the area. I'll be calling back tomorrow for a marketing position. I keep it as a positive point against the wall of rejection letters that is being filled. I even attended a job fair at the new casino that is being built in New Buffalo where they didn't even bother to interview me. But, that may because they didn't have a booth for the position that I applied for. On top of all that, I crammed like mad for the LSAT which I don't think helped me as my score kept on going down with each practice test I took.
Sunday Family Visit:
I took Sunday completely off from worrying about the LSAT and the job hunt. I figured that I needed a break and since my family was here it was a good as time as any.
To my surprise, my cousins Jason and Eric came. I wasn't expecting them to show up. Aunt Julie and her kids couldn't make it because of the flu. So if I was going to be subject to an ambush Grandma was going to have to do it all by herself. And she tried.
She had asked Jason and Eric if they were dating anyone. Of course the family all turn to hear the answer. I was sitting on the other end waiting for the same question to be directed toward me. It didn't. Ha! I dodged the bullet. Oh, but Grandma wasn't done yet. She had to know if Jason and Eric were going to church. Girlfriend? Check. Going to church? Eh, check-minus (They go to non-Lutheran churches.) But then I saw her head turn to me. I swear I saw it occur in slow motion.
"Okay, David, I've got to ask you something. It'll probably embarrass you," she begins.
Oh fuck! Here it comes. I freeze and take a gulp. Fight or Flight.
"No." "This isn't the place for it." Some others in the group stop her. And while I'm thanking my lucky stars for the shut down, I have to wonder why they did it. Were they anticipating the same line of questioning I was?
Later on when everyone was going home, Jason asked me for my blog address. He said that his bookmarks had been deleted. I didn't give it to him. I said that I would send him the link by email. To tell you the truth, I've been wrestling over whether I should or not. I think I will. I have to hope for the best.
LSAT:
I'm not supposed to talk about the test until LSAC releases it. Honestly, I thought it was one of the worse ones I've taken. At first it didn't seem so bad but it turned ugly. I'll talk more on it when I get my score back. I did seriously think about canceling it. I figured though, it would give me a score to work from. If I do badly on it, I'll know for certain and I can use that as a jumping off point for another attempt. Because if I fail, I'm going to pick myself up and go at it again. I'm going to do this. It may take me awhile, but I am determined to move on.
The Notre Dame campus is one of the most beautiful I have ever visited. For the money their students throw at it, I guess it had better be. Who else covers their buildings with real gold?
