"Do Fairies Brush their teeth?"

01/27/2009

Life has been busy. Not bad "oh my word I want to curl up and cry" busy. Productive busy. I've had fairy parties every weekend for the last 5 weeks. I just finished week 4 of pole dancing (I sprained my baby toe). Work has improved immensely I actually feel like I'm doing something and being productive. I've been doing a lot of writing that isn't blogging. I've also taken steps to start something that I should have done a long time ago. I've started studying for my LSATs. That would be the test you take to get into Law School.

Yes, I want to be a lawyer. I've always wanted to be a lawyer. Since the 10th grade. I've always wanted to enter law school and the goal was either immigration law or copyright law. I did play with the idea of family law for a bit but decided yeah no. Oddly enough I found the film "Legally Blonde" quite inspiring. I really liked that movie. It made law school accessible to me.

What happened to that plan? Well my first year of University is what happened to that plan. My first year of University was well...rather unremarkale. I don't like to talk about it. Neither does my dad. My first year of University humbled me. I had grown up always being told I was smart and a gifted learner (well not when it came to math...I took what we called truck driver math in high school.) I believed what I was told with all my heart. I am a smart person. I am a gifted learner. Unfortunately I thought it's what would help me coast through University. Then came the startling realization that I had to work at being smart now. I actually had to put effort in. I never had to before (again except for math.) I made this realization a little to late. Oops. So my plans for law school and taking the LSATs were derailed due to me not smartening up fast enough. So the plan became less about getting into law school and more about just finishing University.

Now with this 101 in 1001 came the chance to take the LSATs. It's something I've always wanted to do and had a world of excuses as to why I couldn't do them. Work. School. Life. Getting married. Being married. Work. All sorts of stuff. Now I don't have an excuse.

Also John offered to take them with me and said he would do better than I would. Well we can't have that. Yeah the best way to get results out of me is to turn something into a competition.

So that's what will be consuming my time until June when I take the LSATs. Go me.

On a totally unrelated note.

Could those of you who are Canadian and feel like it go to www.brewsomegood.ca and nominate The Rainbow Society. Sorry it's open to Canadians only. They're currently running a contest to give money to organizations who are "brewing good" in their community. It would be totally awesome if you guys could do that. We can be nominated more than once and the more nominations the higher our chances of winning. Their current campaign of "Brew Some Good" totally rocks. You can only nominate us once but feel free to nominate other organizations in your communities as well. There are so many good things going on in the world its time they are recognized.

Oh and in case you're wondering...fairies do brush their teeth.

you mean fairies use toothpaste like the rest of us?! Surely a clever fairy could magic up some natural cleaner in their fairy dust, and thus do away with their brushing needs!

Good luck studying for your LSATs. Lots of people I think drop out of uni or don't thrive at uni for the very reason you've just explained, and i think at the end of the day its just one of those things. And when you get older you realise (or don't) its importance and make a decision to study again with more ambition to see it through than perhaps you had first time round. At least, I was friends with the mature students in my year at uni and that is what they said to me and I agreed with them. I saw lots of people my age who were there because in England we have an education system that pushes people towards uni. The mature students, who had made the decision to be there and were willing to put the work in got better grades than us, and it was fairly obvious why.

Good for you! That's very exciting that you want to go for law school. I wish you lots of luck on the LSATs.

Done. I really hope The Rainbow Society wins.

(Can't wait to see what sort of junk mail I get from Maxwell House now. LOL)

That's awesome you're going to take the LSATs. My husband had the same problem in university (what...you mean I have to work now?!) and still isn't done, so I think it's awesome that not only did you work hard and finish, but you're going to go further and take the LSATs too. Good luck!!
