Here's a question I probably should have asked a long time ago. For those of you who are law students, lawyers, or know lots of lawyers: Is being a lawyer/law student doable if you're diabetic? (FYI, I'm hypoglycemic, which, in layman's terms, is a less severe form of diabetes). Am I going to face a big problem or is the ability to eat regularly not something I should be terribly concerned with?

Also FYI, the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards Virginia. Yes it's more expensive, but I think I have a bit more opportunity there. And if I decide I want to move back to Texas after school instead of going to the Pacific Northwest, that will be easier to do at VA than at UW, which is more of a regional school. And they work on a regular semester schedule.

So what does going to VA do for your Bard on the Beach plans? :-)

It means I'll likely be coming around the same time you are. (Yay! I can squeeze enough money to do it, especially as I plan to stay in my current job until I absolutely *must* move to VA in August.) My only thing is my lease is up the 26th of June, and if I need to sublet a place and move out of my current one, I'd need ample time to take care of that. But like, the first week of July should work just fine for me (is July 4 on a weekday this year?)

July 4 is a Sunday this year. However, Henry V doesn't start until July 14! I've just bought myself a ticket for that date (

calanthe_b is there that whole week). I'll wait to see what plans others have before deciding how long before/after I'll spend in V-town for that trip. (Falstaff on July 10? Henrvy V again on July 17?) "others" definitely including you since it sounded like you were up for some touristy BC things! (Capilano suspension bridge? hiking? Victoria??)

Actually July 14 would work even better for me! Probably easier to get time off, and I will have to move out of my apt June 26 and into a sublet (stupid complex jacks up the rates to something I can't afford if you only want 2 months).

Oooh! \o/
Keep me posted about your plans, because I haven't really made mine beyond buying a ticket to the opening preview of HenryV.

One of my closest friends is diabetic and is a lawyer and she just makes sure she eats regularly and hasn't had any problems. ;-)

High five for hypoglycemia!!... or not.

If you can make it through LSATs with a given medical condition, you can make it through law school with that condition. We can take non-noisy snacks into exams, no problem. And the classes are just like undergrad classes in that respect, so far as I've seen--people don't exactly bring in lunch to class, but you can bring in a snack, and everyone brings mugs of coffee or tea or anything that doesn't smell like alcohol. ;) I don't know how strict the bar exam would be, and how the bar exam works varies from state to state, but I'm sure they have some way to make it workable.
