Last paragraph: CHANGE: "...the idea of law school..." to "...the idea of attending law school...".

CHANGE: "thoroughly impressed" to "favorably impressed" (since an impression can be negative as well as positive).

First sentence of the second paragraph: Is the semi-colon (;) necessary ?

Thank you for another edit, CanadianWolf

I am not sure if the semi-colon is necessary or not - would a comma suffice? Also, am I using the correct tense of Creeping, or should it be crept?

Better to use a comma or a dash (or use "with" angst creeping across her face). Basically, a semi-colon has two uses; as a substitute for a period between two closely related independent clauses and as a comma substitute to separate a list of multiple items.
