Quick Tidbit.

Today my coworker took me to lunch because last week I bought her lunch. She chose this hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant. It wasn't bad and fairly fresh tasting, but I have yet to find an oriental restaurant in San Antonio that reminds me of "real" asian food. But I digress. So, of course at the end of every Chinese meal is the Fortune Cookie. Mine said, "You will make a name for yourself."

For some weird reason, this really struck a chord with me. The past few weeks I've been thinking of trying for law school again and yesterday my business law professor said he would write a recommendation for me. The thought of attempting makes me excited and nervous and it has kind of been weighing on my mind (mostly the finances and insurance portion) and ... should I really take the next 3 years of my life and go to law school? What if I'm one of those "starving attorney's" who can't find work? I know a manager at my job who is a JD, and he is not utilized near to the degree he could be - and therefore, the money is not there to pay off massive amount of loans it will take to go.

But, after reading the "fortune" it made me think that trying for law school is what I'm really supposed to do. Perhaps it's naive to think a mass-produced fortune cookie with a made-up fortune would be the reason I should say, "Go for it." On the other hand, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. If this struck a chord with me, I believe that it was meant to.

I dated the fortune for today and put it inside a little memory box. It will definitely be my motivation as I try to start up on the LSAT and set my sights on law school. I can't loose sight of what I want. So I needed to write this blog to remind me of how much I want this. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I can see the potential benefits for me - for example, how likely is it that I will lose a job as an attorney to offshoring? Not very... or is it? http://legalcareers.about.com/od/jobmarket/a/Offshoring.htm Damn.

You know what? I don't care. I still want this.

Well, that is all for tonight.
