kicking puppies is bad

I’ve been having a few disgruntled weeks in California. Usually being disgruntled causes me to make “drastic life changes”. Unfortunately, I just got married, moved 3000 miles across the country, and started a new job. There aren’t many drastic things left for me to change.

Around 6:30, I was talking to a friend’s wife online who just went back to school to get her MBA. She seems to be enjoying it. It occurred to me that I like school. And going back to school wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. So, I googled law schools within driving distance of me that had evening programs (which of course excludes all the “real” law schools). The selection was limited, but there were a few decent options.

Luckily, I had taken the LSATs in 2005 for kicks. And apparently they are still good. So, about an hour after I first had the thought that going back to school wouldn’t be a horrible idea, I filled out the generic info in the online application. And since I was applying to a “night school” (aka crummy) program, I apparently didn’t need letters of recommendation. All that remained was the a personal statement. I hate personal statements. I really, really hate writing personal statements.

Is it bad that I just paid $80.00 for a law school application, but used a (very) slightly modified version of my OkCupid profile as my “personal statement”? Yes, my personal statement talked about the amazingness of gummi bears, notes my ability to create exceptional lemon crème brûlée, and mentions that “za” should not be a legal scrabble word. What do you think my odds of getting accepted are?

If I were a (crummy) law school, I would *totally* accept me.
