So yesterday I sort of broke my blog’s rss feeder and couldn’t figure out what i had done wrong for the life of me. Thankfully S helped me out, otherwise I most likely would have resorted to tossing my powerbook out the window, which still wouldn’t have solved my problem.
With that out of the way, I can get back to that personal statement which isn’t coming along too badly. After that, its back to those pesky applications…
I’ve been doing just about anything and everything to avoid finishing my personal statement for law school. I have about half of it done, the easy half in my opinion, that says nothing about why I want to go to law school or why a law school should accept me.
I’m curently on my seventh draft of the statement and still writing about writing. One of my old professros told me the statement was a convincing anecdote about why I should go get an mfa or something, but doesn’t express any tangible desire to law school aside from saying thats what i want to do.
Truth is I do want to be a writer, I am a writer, I’m just a writer who happens to want to write and rewrite laws using my linguistic talents. Yet I continue to struggle with how I am going to convince the phantom admissions boards accross America that a candid and at times overly self-reflective poet from Richmond should be a law student at their university. How to best showcase my passion for poetry and writing as some sort of segway into the legal field is the task ahead and I am sure to fail if i don’t try so try i shall.
