June Update... SMU Dedman School of Law!


It's been a while since I posted.... I try to at least 1nce a month but whatever. Anyway, I'M GOING TO SMU LAW SCHOOL!!!!! Finally got my acceptance letter by UPS on Tuesday June 8th. I also was accepted to South Texas College of Law last month and was waitlisted at Texas Wesleyan Law School. SMU was my 1st choice so I'll definitely be there. So far pretty successful application cycle considering I applied to all these schools in April!!!!
Summary:
SMU Dedman School of Law - WAITLISTED ----> ACCEPTED PT
South Texas College of Law - ACCEPTED
Texas Southern School of Law - ACCEPTED
Oklahoma City University School of Law (Applied only because i recieved a fee waiver here) - ACCEPTED
Texas Wesleyan School of Law - WAITLISTED ----> DENIED
University of Houston School of Law - DENIED
Baylor School of Law - DENIED (fall 2010) PENDING (spring 2011) ----> WITHDRAWN
SMU is in another league compared to all the other schools I applied to. I'm going to just wait to see if I get off of the waitlist at TX Wes just because... and I think the late application killed my chances at U of Houston/Baylor but I really didn't want to attend either of them.

and the rest...

I recieved 2 A's in my spring classes at North Lake College. That's a relief. Cultural Anthropology was extremely easy but Race, Gender, Class in America was pretty tough. TON'S of reading and writing... I guess it's good practice for law school though; lol...

I failed my driver's license road test for the second time!!!! The driving instuctor said I stopped too late at a red light??? WTF??? I went to a smooth stop and didn't break any laws but she said she felt as if if she didn't say stop then I wouldnt have stopped. I promise I would have stopped but in the end it's her call so I'll take it again w/e... crap... when am I going to learn how to drive!!!

I'm trying to find summer employment just to stay busy between now and August but I think the lady Ana Martinez at Express Employment Professionals is giving me a bad reference for leaving HMS abruptly and missing a few days (even though I told her about my family situation (sister's death, etc)) and offered to return to work for them. Whatever; I don't have time for their b.s. and complete lack of empathy. Dont want to seem arrogant but seriously I'm on to bigger and better things, lol...

Summer will probably end up being a small vacation for me...

So far lost about 10 more pounds! I left P90X at the half-way point and have begun an new workout plan called Insanity. I'm on week 4. I really want to be back in shape by the time summer is over. Let's see if I can do it.
