I'm sure most of you (the Americans at least) have heard about what happened at Fort Hood yesterday by now. It's the only thing that's been on the news here for the last 2 days, since Killeen is really close to Austin. I don't know if I have much to say to it- what do you say to that kind of thing?- other than that's it's an awful tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims and their families. It's nice to hear such an outpouring of support, people rushing in to give blood.

Oh, and forget this guy's religious preferences- what really scares me is that he was a psychiatrist. When a guy who's supposed to be keeping soldiers sane snaps, that is not a good sign.

I think Penn State is getting scratched from the list. After talking with someone at the law fair and now having read through their materials, their 2 campus set up seems like a giant pain in the ass. If you want to take a class that's only offered at the other campus from the one you signed up at, you can do so via AV distance learning or commute to the other campus. I don't know what AV learning is like, but after I graduated from Hope, I attempted to follow along with Japanese 202 while at home. Not being to interact with the class, I didn't retain a damn thing. As for commuting, the campuses are 2 hours apart. That's huge chunks of time that could be spent a lot more productively than driving. Plus, I think one of the two locations isn't ABA accredited yet, and I'm very wary of going someplace without accreditation.

I think my personal statement is done, and my resume is really about as detailed as I want to get, so as soon as my boss gets around to writing a LoR, I should be good to start submitting. Yay! I may have this done by Thanksgiving yet.
