In this post, I talked about taking my life in a new direction, finding a new path, a new passion, and a new career. And I was fine with it, remember? However, I am extremely happy to say that I no longer have to consider doing that. You see, I GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL! Yes, that's right. I'm in!
After that last post, I received a message from a friend who told me not to give up on my dream, that there is a way to get what I want. Feeling greatly encouraged, I decided to apply to that last law school. I figured, "What the hell? The worst they can do is say no," and I had already received enough "no's" that one more would not make a difference. Three weeks later, I received a large manila envelope in the mail from the school, and as soon as I saw the large envelope, I knew-- I was in!
So now I get to spend the next six months preparing to start law school and move to a new city and state. There is quite a lot to do; I do not think I have even wrapped my head around the whole thing yet. There are times where I will just stop and think, "I'm moving to Michigan." I am leaving everything I have ever known, family, friends, job, familiarity, to do this. But if this is what I have to do in order to achieve my dream, so be it. Though life as I know it will never be the same.
*More to come later on law school, I just wanted to let everyone know the happy news.

Was I that friend?
That's wonderful. Leaving the familiar allows you to be open to new and exciting things. Best of luck. Looking forward to living vicariously through your posts.
Wishing you the best as you prepare for this new step in your life.
You may have to physically seperate from family and friends, but can always stay in touch with them via phones and computers.
Making new friends and going to school will be great.
Congrads on making it into law school!
Dan- No, you were not.
DD- Thanks! Though I'm not sure my life is interesting enough to be lived vicariously. :-)
Verna- True, but it's really my first time being away from home like this. I've never actually been on my own (though I've wanted to be) because it was just not feasible, but now it's a necessity. I'm very excited about this, but scared as well, however, I am ready and willing to do this. Thank you!
