I don't know where I've been, but this has only come to my attention since I turned in my last paper and (almost) graduated, thus once again having time for such past times as reading fiction, sleeping, and television. Still, it was only due to my sister and ovguide that I discovered Black Books. It's a sitcom based around the life of a cantankerous, drunk Irishman who owns a secondhand bookstore in London. It falls slightly short of being truly hilarious, but for a nighttime after-[work/studying] diversion, it's pretty swell.
I sent my enrollment deposit to NYU last week, so I'll be a denizen of the East VIllage next year.
I am officially no longer checking theGradCafe every ten minutes for results. I just don't need to know there are more schools from which I'm just waiting for my formal rejection.
The new soundtrack of my life:
The Blow - The Long List of Girls
For the record, I will apply to any law school which waives their application fee.*
For the record, I think it's awesome that all the relevant documents from your LSAT are available online - your actual answer sheet, the test book, and an item response report. However, I probably could have lived happily without knowing I got this question wrong:
Philosopher: An action is morally good if it both achieves the agent’s intended goal and benefits someone other than the agent.
Which one of the following judgments most closely conforms to the principle cited by the philosopher?
I recently sustained what must be some of the most painful muscle injuries of my life, and I did so while dancing. In my parents' living room, no less. Honestly, I don't know how gypsies do it. The only logical explanation is not enough serbian moonshine.
I really hate boasting, but this is one of the few times I'm at all justified in doing so. For the record, I take this as evidence that the LSAT is really not all that hard.
One of my favorite things to do when I should be working (like right now) is to price books that I won't be buying any time in the near book. Honestly, I must price a half dozen books a day, sometimes the same book multiple times in a single week. Back in the day, I was quite the AddAll advocate, which raises the question of how I ever stumbled on FetchBook. But it only took a few comparisons where AddAll was bested by a few dollars to shake up it's previously secure position in my obsessive book searching. I doubt anyone else suffers from quite my compulsion, but in case you do (or if you ever just need to find a book cheap) give FetchBook a try.
Sent off applications to UChicago and UPenn today. 5 more to go (plus any somewhat safer choices I decide to add along the way). Wish me luck!
