lsats....

ok, so i ran into one of my favorite people tonight at the roots and shoots annual film festival.....someone who used to come into the restaurant to eat with her spouse on a weekly basis.....and she is studying to take the lsats.....she has a masters degree in nursing...and has been out of the job market for quite some time raising children.....and her father and brothers are all lawyers....and she was apparantly dissuaded from that path when she was getting ready to go to college.....'honey, you need to find a profession for a woman, not a man'....was the basic message and lack of encouragement she got as a young woman.......'and don't let on to men that you are smart, because you will scare them off'.....was the other chilling talk she could recall her father having with her before she left for school.....and thus i am so proud of her gumption to go to law school...she wants to work with malpractice cases.....wow......that would be like me deciding to go to law school......nope.......too much other things i'd rather do......
