I'm at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State Univeristy). I'm studying Poly-Sci/Pre-Law. Lol we're going to the same university. I just started in a second bachelor's there.

I will leave that up to you, but I'm totally down.

What makes you want to study law? (This is not a "please, no, we still have a few years to save you" question, it's an actual benign "which of its many facets appeal to you?" question)
Quite honestly simple greed shameful to say! We Americans love to sue! I'll never be out of a job.
I realize I have only read a few of your posts, but you do not seem like a soulless being of evil incarnate. How can you want to be a lawyer?

You'll be the best blind lawyer since Maggie Lizer!

Well my cute perky sweetness is a facade! My horns hold up my halo. ? I figure by being cute and adorable no one will suspect me when I close in for the kill! To quote the venerable Ben Stein "you have to get behind someone to knife them in the back"
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
