it's not up to me

The applications are complete.

I've done all that I can do for the grad school apps. It's now in the hands of the registrars who are forwarding my transcripts and my professors who are writing letters of recommendation.

I have yet to finalize the law school applications for Penn and Tulane. Or take the LSAT; that fateful experience is slated to occur on 12/5. But that's okay, because my deadlines for those applications are not immediately upon me.

And so the waiting begins. My future is in the hands of the various admissions committees.

Acceptance decisions aren't usually made until Spring, so I'm in for a long dark winter of uncertainty.
