Back in communication

Since Bush is still in power (I'm reluctant to say that the election was hijacked) I've made some pretty big decisions. I'm going back to school, this time for pre-law. I'll prolly get my 4 year degree in English. This is a change from my previous decision to get a degree in History. My friend Susan recommends that I go with what I'm best at, and get the high grades in something I know already. That will make admission into a law school a bit easier.

I'm going to be turning 45 on the 17th. I'd like to take my Bar exams by the time I'm 55. I'm going to be using this blog to document my journey.

I've decided to go to Rhode Island College. It's less than 5 miles from my house, I already have residency in this state, and it's reasonably priced, tuition wise. I'm going to be applying for loans, grants and scholarships. I'm not above begging.

These next 10 years are going to be lean. Come the end of my Bachelor's degree, I'm going to have to apply to another University to study law.

My goal is to practice Constitutional law.

The Patriot Act scares me. I'm seeing preludes to fascism. I don't like that Evangelical Christians, who do not represent the majority of Democratic Christians are imposing their religious beliefs on the rest of us.

Wish me luck.
