Seriously, read this article and tell me it was not made to be used in debate.  I want to talk more in depth about it later, but just read it…seriously.

This Summer

Published on February 24, 2008 in Chicago, Debate, Law, Life, Northwestern, School and Work. 0 Comments

Well, one minute I am complaining about this quarter going by too fast and the next I am thinking about this summer. That has been the craziness of this year for me. I was never exactly sure what my post-graduating plans would be, but now its time to decide more thoroughly.

This decision most immediately manifests itself it in choosing classes for next quarter. Since my propensity to attend Law School is ever increasing, I have decided to take classes that focus on writing. I do not consider myself a poor writer, but I think investing some time would be a great resource. On that note, I am taking an English course that focuses on writing about ethical issues. I thought this would be interesting and most applicable to the type of writing I do. I am also going to take a History of Philosophy course. Fall Quarter I took the first course in this series and really enjoyed. It is fascinating how influential thinkers’ ideas pop up throughout history. Of course, I am taking Chinese, which I have grown to dislike. Thankfully, this will be the last Chinese course I have to take. Chinese is not a friend of my GPA, I just keep thinking: why didn’t I take Spanish? The last course I will have will be Economics of the Environment and Natural Resources. I am pretty excited for this class because I like the teacher and the subject-matter. It will cover air pollution, fishing, and global warming. Considering the craziness of the debate topic junior year of high school, I should have some knowledge to bring to the table.

To complicate matters further, Monica and I want to move soon. Hopefully, we can pull that off without a hitch.

Two Fridays ago, I participated in a program where we went to several law firms, a non-profit, and the district court. I firmly believe that this aided my desire to attend law school. It drives me nuts though thinking about preparing for a decent LSAT. I am becoming more confident that I can do it though. I have been mulling over taking a test prep class just to be certain I do well. I feel like I can hit my peak success at standardized tests.

In the meantime, I have to continue the ridiculous amount of reading that I have for the History of Economic Thought. Also, I have a paper that I want to write on police discretion, so hopefully that will be done soon. There are also about a million things I need to do for CPP!
