Day Ninety-Six: July 5, 2012
I’m not going to law school this year.
I’m staying home for another year. I decided a couple of weeks ago, but it’s taken this long to publicly say it, because I cry every time I think about it. It’s the right thing, but it doesn’t make the decision any less painful. I thought it was finally time to get the hell away from Augusta, and I was beyond excited. My life had purpose again. My dream was coming true. But after thinking, I wasn’t terribly happy with any of the schools I did get in (they weren’t all that good), and the tremendous debt load scared me. (EX: The school I was seriously contemplating cost $44,000 a year. A YEAR. With the scholarship I got. I can go to UGA’s law school for all three years for that price.) So, I’m staying home and studying. I get to take the LSAT again. I can’t wait.
Now excuse me while I go cry again. Sitting in Augusta for another year just thrills me.
Day Ninety-Two: April 2, 2012
I got to visit the Augusta National! I’ve freaking lived in Disgusta for 23 years and have never actually been to the tournament. We always sell our tickets and go on vacation to places that can handle tourist traffic. But I went this year. It was beautiful! Had on the wrong shoes, so my legs punished me, but it was totally worth it.
Day Ninety-Four: April 6, 2012
First day in the theme parks! Park one: Hollywood Studios. This here is a picture of the queue inside my absolute favorite ride, the Tower of Terror. It’s designed to look like a deserted 1920s hotel, and I am always in awe of how creepy it looks. It’s even better at night, when the park is dark.
Day Ninety-Three: April 5, 2012
Traveling day! After a bit of a bumpy start, we made it to Orlando. Our hotel was absolutely ballin’. I got to see three of my best good friends: Robin, Robert, and Lee. After dinner, Mom had a surprise for us. Since we weren’t going to be home for Easter, we colored eggs at the hotel. :)
