Shakespeare was right....

There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and miseries.

I took the LSAT this past Saturday. It was a bit surreal to be forced into such an arbitrary position with respect to my future. This test represents three years of work in undergrad, the first step in seeing the fruition of my dream of becoming an attorney, a year spent reviewing arguments and taking practice tests. It seems so wonderful and horrible at the same time to reach this kind of impasse. I don't know if at any other point in your life you will ever have as much potential that has yet to be actualized with respect to your future hinged upon a single test.

In other news people irk me. I'm so sick of this collective collegiate experience where people claim ignorance as an excuse for acting like petulant children. I don't know why they feel justified acting in such a manor, or what measure of camaraderie they hope to retain from these years if they continue to act this way. It makes me sad to see individuals fall from grace. It makes me wonder if people are just petty and ridiculously stupid or if at some point in the stages of human development they learn to be what we commonly refer to as a 'decent' person?

I can't wait to finish up my undergraduate degree and get out of here.
