Update 2.0
I finally committed to a date and have registered for test prep courses for the LSAT. This, of course, makes everything a little more real, and makes me feel a little more committed to a future goal. Which is, inevitably, why I enrolled in a prep course. I don’t believe you can learn analytical reasoning (or other such skills required for the LSAT) in a matter of weeks, thus my goal in enrolling is not so much to learn a new set of skills but to ease my mind. I get terribly anxious about any sort of commitment, and law school is a pretty big commitment indeed. I need to establish a connection to the subject and to the material before I plunge in, otherwise I get evasive and have a tendency to put everything off and avoid what I need to do. My hope id that by spending the $600 to “learn” things I already know, I won’t have a panic attack the day of the test and find myself unable to sort through my head. I also learned that the actual LSAT is held at BC, so I can become familiar with the area and not get lost the day of the test (another big thing for me is getting lost. I am the master, but mainly because I wander off inside my head and forget to pay attention to where I am going).*
I’ve also cleared these plans with my managers at the salon, who have all been very supportive. As far as the hair business goes, I’ve felt supported by everyone important through my whole training process. While there has been drama and annoyances, I’m feel like the right people have my back. I also feel like I’m going to be getting where I want to, when I want to.
Right now things are going in a good direction. I feel like I have everyone’s support when it comes to my work and my future schooling.

Secretly, I crammed for the GRE, even though it was a really, really easy test. I didn’t want to take it. I feared taking it. The thought of a test that long repulsed me. I would probably have taken the MCATS and gone to med school if it weren’t such a long, horrifying exam. I sometimes hate myself for not doing it because I was afraid of the exam, but it turns out it worked out in the end.
It always works out in the end.

Planning is important and it seems like you have a solid plan in place. Best of luck as you persue your dreams. I love you!
