One Down, Eight to Go

I received my first acceptance letter to Florida Costal School of Law in Jacksonville Florida. Now, you're probably asking yourselves a couple of questions: 1) Why Florida? I was fooled into believing that if I applied to this school I would get a free 80 GB ipod. I didn't expect much, the brochure had a picture of a guy in a suit holding a laptop computer and surfing at the same time. Who wouldn't turn that down? It wasn't until after I applied that Anna noticed that the ipod was free only upon matriculation. At least they waived the 50 dollar application fee. 2) Shouldn't the application process take longer? Yes, sometimes newer schools are desperate for applicants so they take anybody who applies. So, my academics had nothing to do with this decision. I've often wondered where my life is going, now I have a clearer picture: I attend a 4th tier law school, graduate, and spend the rest of my life working in downtown Miami chasing ambulances with some sleezy partner in the likeness of Danny Devito. I'll stop making fun of myself before the application process is over. This school could be the only yes out of the bunch. Addendum After looking more closely at the school information packet (something I obviously didn't learn from the first experience) I found that I wrongly accused this school of quickly accepting my application. According to the admissions council, "The School of Law admits students selectively after a careful and thorough evaluation process." I stand corrected. Looks like Anna and I could be one step closer to our dream of enjoying our retirement as ticket-takers at Disney World.
