status quo

just realized I haven't written in, or even logged into, this blog for a few days.
Guess my life has been either crazily busy or remarkably mediocre, since the only reasons I wouldn't write in my blog are:
1. I was too busy and couldn't find the time
2. I wasn't going thorough any extreme emotions, since I write mostly when I'm extremely happy or extremely frustrated/angry.

Oh, there might be another reason:
3. I became addicted to the NYT.
Maybe that's what it is- I found another pastime!

anyways, to give a brief report on how I've been:

- work: ppl went off to Paris for the OECD DAC/EPOC HLM (virtually all documents translated by moi!) today, so I have virtually nothing to do today. (and probably so until the end of this week)
Oh, and I was 'drafted' to be usher for the former president's funeral... so I'll have to miss the 교육 for interns. Maybe it's a good thing, coz the topic is North Korean nukes. (How boring could it get? The lecturer will be spreading propaganda, duh!)
- debate: taught & judged at a debate workshop for middle school kids over the weekend. I had to sacrifice my entire weekend, but the kids + teachers + parents that came to the workshop didn't express any disappointments, so I guess we did all right. and I got paid more than I thought.
- friends: met A for lunch today. should pray for her health.
- school: the first essay + interview is on Saturday. maybe I'm nervous. Maybe I'm not. What I'm worried about is that my attitude (not serious at all - hello? it's GRAD SCHOOL, not a week-long day camp!). It would be great if I can go to school with my college friends again, but I'm really hoping to get into the school that will release its results (paper screening) next week (arrgh, why must they take so much time?).
If I do get into grad school, that will lead to another problem: what about law school? and what will I do about my current job?
The original plan was to quit my job in July, take leave for a semester and study for LSAT to finish the applications in December.
But if I get accepted to grad school, should I just keep working (I really need the money!) or would it be impossible to study and work at the same time (it's a full time program..)?
I really don't know.. @_@

Life.
One step at a time.
