I should be sleeping right now, but I have a raging headache because I’m not feeling very well. So, I was thinking about my road into a good law school and realized that I have done nothing to prepare me for law school applications. I haven’t done any community service and barely joined any clubs. This needs to change next semester. I cannot let an entire year of my already abbreviated stint at CSUN go by. If I do, the chances of me going into a good law school are nil to none due to lack of extracurriculars.

Basically this semester has just been high school extended for me. I go to school, then go home and do nothing. I blame this on living far from the campus, but that is a thinly veiled excuse. Quite frankly, it was my laziness. Yea, it is tough because if I don’t get a job next semester, something is seriously wrong. Also, because me and my brother carpool, I have to work around his schedule as well. But, I just didn’t care to do anything. I did do that fraternity thing, but ended up leaving it because it wasn’t right for me and because my father advised me to leave. (Apparently, my father actually liked me in it, but not at this time. I thought he was against me partying or being away from home so much or something.)

Perhaps, CSUN was the wrong choice for me. Maybe I should have gone to live on my own in a dorm at some college away from home. I am missing a major part of the college experience by living with my parents. But, unfortunately, living on my own costs way too much. I need a job first. But my goal is to be all moved out by 2011. How realistic is that, not likely.

So, I will need to look into community service stuff next semester. Also, I am considering doing Business Honors for Fall 2010 (I screwed up for Spring 2009. Fortunately, I’m still in GE, so all Business Honors would have given me this semester is a lounge to sit in. That’s it. But I still screwed up on that one.) and also Business Law Association.

Also, doing all this while maintaining a GPA that could live up to my standards (3.9) should hopefully net me scholarship opportunities, even though I am not a minority or live in a woeful financial situation.

In a nutshell, I need to get stuff done. Come 2010, I cannot just sit at home playing NCAA Football on my Xbox. I need to actually do stuff.

Man its going to be tough for me. Im going to have so much loans to pay off it wont even be funny. But I have to say the experience is definitely worth it. Dude do as much as you can, you will not have this time back ever again in your life so take advantage of it. BUT ABOVE ALL ENJOY IT!
