Raining

My friend Kim, who lives in Spokane, made fun of me a couple days ago for using an umbrella. She said, "no one uses umbrella's Emily!" and laughed at me.... I don't understand, why would someone not want to use protective rain gear to keep from getting soaked? How is that dorky? As I traveled around Spokane, I noticed everyone using their hoods instead of the more efficient umbrella. They looked very wet and unhappy. On my return to Portland, I witnessed 3/4 of the city using umbrellas. Is portland full of nerds...or aquatic geniuses?

Work

I work at a "mid-sized" law firm (so roughly 70 people including staff). As a clerk, I do all of the jobs that lawyers, paralegals and assistants don't want to do...yay! Right now, my insides are twisted extremely tight as I wait for my acceptance or rejection letters from 10 law schools (count that...TEN). I check my status at each school about 3 times a day. It's pretty pathetic. But that is what I have to hope for....a college graduate working as a clerk (slave) at a law firm seeing nothing but staples and copy jobs all day, every day.
Kyle is my person. He is also attempting to join the lawyer race. However, unlike me, he has a much better chance at becoming an extremely important and rich attorney. He likes tests, including the LSAT. I despise them. I would like to burn all LSAT tests. How can one chances at being an attorney be so determined by a single test.
