Disappointed

It's a gloomy day today. I was unsuccessful in my application to my school of choice. I must say I am very disappointed but it somewhat is a relief to find out a definite answer.

A lot of people ask me why I bother to apply to another law school when I am already studying in one. My answer to them is usually about my aim for higher quality education; which, doesn't seem to register in these people's minds. Most of them think "Law school is law school; what's the difference?" But to me, I want a higher quality education because I want to be a good lawyer in the future. I don't want to go to a school where I am told that I only need to memorize this section for the exam and forget about the other section. I am there to learn and improve on my legal knowledge; not to pass my exams.

After I got the news, I sat there thinking about ways to improve my chances of being admitted next year. I can't exactly change my results for my undergraduate degree; but what I can do is to immerse myself in the legal field. Maybe I can try to be a court marshal, internships at law firms and mini pupilage. Hopefully these experiences will improve my chances for success in the coming year.

For now, I guess I will continue to attend my current law school and make the best out of the situation.
