I haven't disappeared!
I know only two people actually care, but I thought I would drop a line here to say hi.
I have been going through a lot. I got laid off from my very high paying job of 8 years in August. I was out of work for two months, then got this other job that lasted 2 weeks before the company shut down. I was able to get another job quickly, but I quit that after 90 days because I wasn't making any money and I was always getting screamed at.
So, really, I haven't been paid since August and my mortgage payment just went up to $6,000 a month. I have money and everything, but I don't see any way of getting a job that would make sense with that kind of mortgage payment to make anymore...I am going to sell my house.
I owe $640K. The house could sell for $720K, but I am not going to wait around for a year and eat up my savings just to make a $6k mortgage payment every month. I will probably make my mortgage payment this month and that's it...let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully I can sell before I get foreclosed on.
Obviously I need a new career. What I was doing just isn't viable any more as a profession. I need out. I made another decision. I am going to go to law school.
That's right; I am going to be an attorney at law. I take my LSAT in June, I am prepping for that right now. This will allow me to get into law school for the fall of '09.
So, the question is, what do I do until then?
Frankly if I sell the BMW I could go live with my parents and not do anything for a year, but I really don't like the sound of that. I met this girl last week who was telling me about going to live in Hawaii for 6 months hiking with 'at-risk' teenagers. I could see myself doing something like that, but, I may be just a little bit too old for that. I'd like to travel. I'd like to do all kinds of crap but honestly I don't see myself doing it.
Unfortunately, I require medication for depression that is costing me a pretty penny every month, so I really do need to do something where I have insurance. I could sell my soul to some corporate job for a year knowing that I will be leaving to go to law school...I just don't like it!
I guess that I am writing this more for me than anything else. Anyway...in case anybody was wondering, I am alive, living in Miami, and doing absolutely nothing.
