Sorry that was a tangent
Yea, I don't have any friends like that.

I aint playin shit at the moment, nothing I want to spend money on UNTIL I get all my law school stuff squared away. There's a XBOX One under my bed that I'm trying to flip at the moment.
But I play a little 2k13 if money is on the line. I would have bought GTA if it wasn't for the LSAT. Mainly a shooter/sports guy, something that can be competitive. Played a bit of WoW with my friend in the past too...and I'm ashamed of that.
What about you
I gameshare with a friend of mine so he's spotting for the both of us atm. Finished GTA V a couple of weeks ago and he just purchased AC 4, which I'll get to after this weekend. Can't wait till these app fees are over so I can save up for a shiny new PS4.
Shoulda told me, I bought one and sold it already.

I am not really looking to get into big law. My main focus is truly trying to help the Black male and Black female population avoid the prision system. It sucks how so many of our people get stuck with public defenders who could careless about their names. My personal statement actually was about how I and my other black male and female people are treated within American society today and how its a form of new slavery. I know I probably struck a few cords between the adcomms. However, I didnt care. It needed to be said. My dad said the same thing after I wrote it and he read it. So I took a major risk. And didn't hold back.

I'll stay in biglaw for as long as I am able barring a more lucrative exit opportunity.

I really want to pay down my debt and I am looking to be a GC as my end goal, so I need biglaw to start out.
