Everything Else in Life...Kind Of.

Disclaimer: This is not an entry about my workout regime (it's still going quite well, thank you.)

This is about the rest of my life...or at least what I'm going to do with it. Or not do with it. Just a little venting.

A friend of mine is thinking about Law School, so that means that I'm thinking about Law School, just like when another of my friends left his job and became a teacher I, too, thought about teaching. Since I'm stuck at an entry level state government job, I might as well take stock of my other options.

I don't know if I'd be happy at law school. I do have this nagging little man that lives in the back of my head and gives me fantasies of grandeur, that I can change the world, and Law School could indeed help me get there. But, I believe that people are called to do things. Maybe they never know it, or never care to listen, but I am. At least I'm trying...waiting by the phone, if you will.

Is that the end? Or do I have to pick up the phone and make some calls first? I downloaded a practice LSAT test and I'm going to take it tomorrow and see how I do.

But, if I were to be really honest with myself, wouldn't I just be happier in a consulting job, living 20 minutes from the beach, and having enough free time to write novels that will never get published? It's funny that being happy might mean never achieving anything of importance.
