Ironic

I was adding a gadget to my Google homepage just now, and I decided to add a "Motivational Quote of the Day" gadget. As I returned to my iGoogle page, the motivational quote that appeared was:

"If you want to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up." -Norman Vincent Peale

I thought to myself, "Now that's irony."  You see, the past week or so I have been seriously considering just giving up on my dream of going to law school. Taking the LSATs (almost) four times and still not doing well enough to get in anywhere, tends to send a person a message. Like maybe it's time to consider other career options. As the week has gone by, this has seemed more and more like what was going to happen and I was just pushing off the inevitable.

And then I saw this quote and thought to myself that either I should reconsider giving up on law school, or that G-d is trying to send me a message. Should I keep pursuing my dream? But then I thought to myself that there is only so much pursuing, pushing, trying that one person can do, and eventually, you have to face reality. Or put it off to the side for a few years. That is what I have been thinking of doing--putting off law school for three or four years, then going back for another shot. Not giving up. Maybe I just need to figure out another way to get there.
