On October 5th I will be taking the LSAT. "What?!? You are going to law school??" Actually, there is about a 5-10% chance I will go to law school and about a 2% chance I will be a lawyer, so don't fret.
Nonetheless, I began a Kaplan course today in preparation for the exam. It was actually refreshing to sit down and be taught again. I like the feeling of having a notebook and pen in hand, listening to a teacher. I also like having 5 day weekends and a two day schoolweek. This is fun though because it is like a little competition with myself. Throughout the next three weeks I will (hopefully) see my score rise and can really keep track of how well I am doing. Instant feedback is wonderful.
Also, since I am no longer in a learning environment, I have found myself turning to nonfiction books. Currently I am reading The Tipping Point, and Nickel and Dimed, which I conveniently got on the street for $7.* If you have some other good suggestions, let me know. I spend a lot of time using public transportation and need some good reading material.
*Jannelle is the one who brought Nickel and Dimed to my attention. Thanks (ex-)roomie.

Fast Food Nation...I know you own it, have you read it?
Also I have to read this book, Wallbangin', for my race gender and popular culture class. It is about the meanings, interpretations, and culture around gang graffitti. It looks really good and has cool pictures. Check it out...at your public library haha
