Imagine taking the LSAT as suiting up, like astronauts do, to blast into orbit; and that horrific first year ("One-L") is like the countdown to the rest of your life, a blast of adrenaline to get you through the next two years ~ your graduation and taking the Bar Exam being the sort-of "blast off" into the atmosphere of your potential ~ there is literally a universe of opportunity in front of you, filled with planetary proportions of possibility, but littered with black holes of disappointment and failure ~ at what point does your blast-off turn into burn-out? And what if you simply burn-up on re-entry into the real world?
Ai. Me, I've been in orbit long enough ~ this weightlessness has become a burden, heavy with indecision and freeze-dried experiences that have failed to feed a hunger for . . . Being. . . . Houston, we have a problem . . . ~ Ai, I just want that landing strip to appear on the horizon . . .
Yeah I know it was just a comic strip ~ who knows how my thoughts turn such seemingly innocuous images into mind-bending questions. Call me Mari the Metaphor. Oy. It's time to stop getting so personal here . . .
