Tough Decisions

Amanda and I are definitely at a crossroads in our life.  Let me explain.

I took the LSAT last summer and did reasonably well.  I also have a reasonably good GPA.  These factors have combined to get me some reasonably good acceptance to some reasonably good law schools.  Sound reasonable?  What that's boiled down to so far is that I've got into the U law school- ranked 41, pretty good, good placement, and the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, not ranked, fairly bad, not great placement.  Why even mention TJSL?  Did I mention it is in San Diego, that I have a full tuition scholarship there, that it is in San Diego, that I will probably graduate near the top of my class, that it is in San Diego, that Amanda and I want to live in San Diego, and that it is in San Diego?  It makes for a very tough decision, because I would probably secure a good job out of the U as long as I did well in school.  However, both Amanda and I have decided we don't want to live in UT, mostly because of this



But also because of this



Argue for it how you will, we just would rather live in San Diego.  In all fairness, a lot of it is coming from Amanda.  I would definitely rather live in California, of course.  But I don't want to live out of UT quite so bad.  I think its the cold.  She just has a hard time staying warm.

And so that's where our lives are at right now.  Its a tough decision just because it will probably affect us for a long time based on where we decide to go to law school.  But until then.
