Cycle endear today for me Hand written note from the Dean of UVIC tell me how happy they are to welcome me to the community, this along with speaking to a number of member of the Aboriginal bar(consenus if I want to do Aboringal law I would be make a HUGE mistake not to take UVIC) and the Co-op porgam has made me decide on UVIC over UBC. Very happy

Well law school and this commitment (which will cause me to incur serious debt) is life changing and I have to do what makes sense for me. I LOVE it here, the cost of living sucks but the people are great.

No way, he'd be happy. Thomas abhors Yale.
TL,DR: He blamed affirmative action for preventing him from getting a job after Yale?? k..

Maybe this is just me but I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to be SCOTUS. I know it's prestigious and all, but...meh.

Most people probably would think I'm crazy.

Well, it only makes me admire you even more.

I don't think healthy-minded people go for SCOTUS.

Although I still wanna clerk for them

Congrats to Chrissy and Miracle for your amazing acceptances and scholarship gains! Oh and congrats to Fresh for Yale. I can't believe I got that last one in so late...
