Watching and Writing
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Now that we have our house fully wired for cable and internet, I spent most of today watching the DNC and working on a couple writing projects that needed attention.
I’m suddenly feeling like the law school personal statement I’ve been working on since April is too routine and forgettable. I started on another topic that certainly runs the risk of being too out-of-the-ordinary. I’m not trying to rhyme or pull any cute gimmicks, I’m writing about a time in my life that was very influential on my adult career, but may be too risque a topic for law school admission boards. No, not a boring coming out tale. I may share it if I decide it’s too controversial for my applications.
Anyway, my heart swells with pride tonight at the official nomination of the country’s first African-American as a major party candidate for President. We went out to dinner, so I missed all but the end of Bill Clinton’s speech, but I’ll catch up after Biden’s speech about to start.
