It's finally sinking in, I suppose, that I need structure to function. Sure, I'm having fun doing basically what I want all day, but it would be nice to look back when I'm falling asleep and be happy with what I did on a level that isn't simply hedonistic. To that end, I plan to set aside the hours between 10:00 and 12:00 each morning to write. It might not always be blog entries, especially since I have some applications to get together for law schools, but I think it's a good place to start.
Regarding the whole law school thing, it turns out I got the exact same score on my second attempt, which is really frustrating. I felt like four of the five sections went well, and because one section is dropped each time, I had decent reason to hope for an improvement, but I guess it was not to be. Lackaday and all that. The thing is, I wasn't really pursuing this option because it's what I want to do; it just seemed like the most viable of the options presented to me. It probably still is, too, to be honest. I just really wanted to be guaranteed admittance to a good school so I wouldn't have to worry about finding a job when I'm done. Law school is expensive, and being stuck with debt isn't a thing I'm willing to have happen. So now my options seem to be to go to a poorer-quality school and try to avoid the debt thing, or take my chances with a mid-tier school. And because I don't relish the career itself, neither of those is motivating me to be passionate about the essays I have to write or the interviews I'm going to have to give.
