divine angst

Car is fixable. Mechanic is starting work on it today.

FYI, the most expensive single part of the repair will be fixing that pried-out door handle. What with four hours of labor to take it apart, fix it, then repaint and redo the stripes, and all the hazardous waste that results, blah blah blah.

As far as they can tell, the only things missing are the sparkplugs, wires, and distributor. Once they get those parts in, they’ll see if it starts and runs.

One week for the repair. I don’t have rental reimbursement for comprehensive coverage (only for uninsured motorist).

My ten minute commute home has become an hour on the bus. Phooey on crappy public transportation.

So I’ve been writing at divine angst for a year now. I think that’s a milestone to mark. So here are some things that happened and that I’ve written about in the last year:

• The ever important question: Why law school?
• I had some teeth pulled.
• How much does the LSAT suck?
• Why is writing a personal statement so hard?
• Why are some lawyers so annoying?
• Hey! I applied to law school!
• Hey! I got into law school! (NB: This is NOT my future law school.)
• I migrated from Blogger to Movable Type.
• I visited some campuses. (NB: None of these are my future law school, either.)
• I met a blogfriend in person.
• Mr. Angst got into grad school (in two places, too).
• We sold our house.
• We moved into a crappy apartment.
• I started taking Aikido.
• We found a new apartment in a new city.
• We found out we’re not getting the apartment we thought we were.
• My car was broken into and rendered inoperable.

What else? Along the way, I’ve found a lovely blogging community, learned more about law school and law practice than I ever could have hoped for, and written a hell of a lot of words.

So thanks. It’s the readers that make this whole endeavor worthwhile and I’m glad I’ve kept it up.
