Well if this is it, that makes me feel better about UChi. But still bummed about NU.

Stupid LSAC messed up my transcripts... AGAIN.

I 4.0'd last semester and had a full course load but they counted it as 2.5 credit hours instead of 15 because my school uses the 20.0 credit system. They converted my older stuff from the 20.0 system to the 120 credit hour system but didnt do that this semester so my 4.0 isnt worth much.

Instead of my GPA going from a 3.31 to a 3.41 it only went up to a 3.33.

Hopefully theyll fix it this fast enough.

I've been using up all this pent up energy by convincing myself to get active at least once a day. Hiking/Gym/Sports, I really dropped the ball while I was studying for my LSAT and now I'm using this time to get it back!

On the opposite end of that spectrum, Guild Wars 2 is about to announce its first expansion (we think) and it doesn't have a subscription fee.

Also, Minecraft.
I gave up my gaming after Burning Crusade WoW in highschool, but godspeed brother!

Agree with the exercise suggestion. Kind of want to try Class Pass because I tend to get bored and this would give me so many options. But I just don't want to pay for it, waah.

Hiking at this time of year? Sounds like you live in some wonderful paradise. I was actually going to try and take up some kind of sport, but I hate running and pretty much everything else seems to cost money. I definitely plan to be outside a lot this year though as soon as it gets warm again

Will check out Guild Wars 2

I'm a noob and don't know what Dragonbrand is.

It'll be a little while because my laptop screen broke recently and I have to save up to get it fixed. Misery upon misery :cry:
