i was going to try and go to law school straight out of undergrad, but i don't think that'd work. i need money to go the law school. i need money to move to the east coast. so during my final year here at ut austin i'm going to be saving my money and paying off my debts. if i don't think i have enough money saved to get me started after a year, i'll take another year to save money. after two years if i don't have the money saved something will be horribly wrong with me.

so that's my plan. i'm leaving texas in about a year. i'm horribly scared. i'm terrified. but it's something my heart tells me to do. i haven't quite decided where i'm going to move but nyc and dc are on top of the list. i really feel good about the idea deep down though. it's the execution that scares me.

some people might think i'm going for other reasons, but truth is - i'm not. i want to be a lawyer, and somehow i think the life experience gained from living in only two different cities is not going to help me.

of course, you could always blame that show law & order...
