I strongly dislike my job. For those who ask, it’s not a government job.  It’s a private company that has a call center.  And can you say yuck?  I came home from work pretty disheartened.  My dad later suggested making my resume searchable on monster.com and looking through the classifieds.  I need to do something more than just study for the LSAT in order to get through this time in borrower services.  I’m definitely not interested in staying in borrower services – makes me wonder how my old boss made it through 7 years.  Call center work is definitely not for me.  At this point, if I don’t get into law school, I’m going to be actively pursing other jobs come April or May (by then I should know the status on all law school applications).  If I do get into law school, I’ll probably stop working sometime in early-mid August, depending on where I get in.

So right now I’m working on the logic games section. My prep book says that’s the part I can easily make the most gains in by studying the book and following its strategies.  That’s encouraging, since I’m already doing well on the logical reasoning section and that makes up half the scored multiple choice sections.  So I need to get better at the logic games and get back in the habit of reading comprehension + questions and then definitely do some of the practice essays (I just have to write one on the LSAT).   So I’m studying my butt off and I think I can kick butt on the test.  Kicking butt on the LSAT would help ensure I have a choice to make regarding which school I want to go to.  I’m not entirely sure how I’d rank the four schools I’ve looked at. Mostly at this point, I’ll apply to all four and see what happens from there.  While Cornell for example is by far the most expensive, I’m not going to pass it up if it’s the only one I get into just because it’s so expensive. 

I think I’m going to have to rely on prayer over the next few weeks to get through them.  And maybe that’s exactly what I’m supposed to do.  I certainly have been relying on the Lord a lot of late and perhaps that’s meant to continue.  But I definitely feel like my life needs to go in a different direction professionally and personally and that this is the path to take.
