life as I know it.

Today I wanted to take Indy to the Shoal Creek dog park. I was like "hey, there is no water there, that means I won't have to bath him in my shower.

This was false. Indy found the sickest, nastiest puddle I have ever seen and literally submerged himself in it. Granted, he was warm, but still. He smelled like poop and algae. To make things worse, I was running late so there wasn't even a chance of him getting a rinse off. I returned from a 5 hour shift to find that now my whole freaking apartment smelled like poop and algae. Yay dog ownership...

LSAT prep class started on Monday. It's 4 hours a night on Monday and Wednesdays with a few Saturday and Sundays sprinkled in. I'm taking it through Powerscore. So far it's wonderful. The instructor got a 176 (that's really freaking good) AND I got a 167 on my first prep test in 8 months! (this is 7 points higher than my actual score and puts me in contention for just about every school I could possibly want) To further elaborate, with a 167, I would have a shot at Stanford ( a slim one, but nonetheless...)

Work has been eh. I've pretty much decided I'm going to find a full-time job doing something (anything) with dogs. I don't mind the work at Shoeboxes, it's more the lack of work. 5-7 hours takes a long time to go by when you have nothing to do. I shouldn't complain, I'm thankful for the work and for the paycheck and convenience.

I have so much I need to decide about my life in the near future. Where am I going to go to church? How do I make friends here in Austin? Do I want to try agility with Indy? Do I want another dog? Where do I want to go to law school? How does post-grad life look (with a puppy)?

(hence the name of the blog; post-grad doodles)

EDIT: Turns out my apartment smelled like poop because the algae made Indy poop all over his crate. I couldn't be mad because the poor guy had been stuck in it for a long time while I was at work. Cleaned it out (hopefully not with toxic stuff) and he's back in for the night. Hopefully makes it through without another accident.
