not just any law school.

I haven't been this excited about a school since well senior year of high school. and even then i dont think i was this excited/nerve-wracked. The thought of getting hopes high and trying trying trying to get into a law school i want to go to is actually more daunting than i expected. i'm not going to go into this with a mindset of entitlement. I know that my scores are just average for this school--maybe even below?, but reading the mission and vision of Boalt, i feel like it screams my name (or maybe i just scream its name). in an interview, the dean remarked that they seek interesting and capable people to compose their student body-- even going so far as comparing the student body to a choir composed of 270 unique voices. interesting and capable. I dont know about the second criteria, but i'd like to think i have an interesting life.

so here it is... one new years resolution i will try and keep. i will be bold enough to want something enough to put my heart out there and get it. something that wont be easy and could bring great disappointment. but as the saying goes... the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you most.
