Bye Bye, Florida...

Yes, it's true. Jason and I have decided that attending Ave Maria School of Law is not what we're going to do. It was kind of upsetting to come to that conclusion when we had been hoping for it and been so excited for it for the last couple months, but so it must be. When we first learned about Ave Maria, we were excited about a few of the aspects of the area it was located and about the school, but overlooked some pretty big flaws; flaws that really shouldn't have been overlooked. Plan A: didn't work out. Plan B, dashed. Want to hear Plan C? (Cross your fingers!)

We are still moving in August, just not to Florida. We'll be moving to:

OHIO!!!

I'm happy that we'll be going to my home state to live, if not for the next stage of our lives, then at least for the next year. Here's our plan as of right now:

• We move to Ohio in August, get Jason a job as quick as possible so that he can be considered a resident by next August.
• Jason takes an LSAT prep course in the hopes of raising his score a LOT and be able to get into a good school.
• Go on weekend trips to take tours of the different law schools on our current list (which I will post at the end of this entry)
• Be happy!

It really isn't my favorite plan because I was hoping that Jason could just jump right in to law school after graduating here in July, but things don't always turn out the way we wish for them to, huh? But this will be for the best, I'm sure.

Ok, here's the list of schools we're looking at. If you know anything about them (you love them, hate them, weird area... stuff like that), PLEASE let us know. :)

• Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio
• Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio
• Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio
• University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio
• George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia
• College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia
• Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah
• University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah
• Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• University of Connecticut in Hartford, Connecticut

A lot of schools, I know, but we need help deciding whether we should narrow it down, or apply to all of them in the fall! Ahh!

Anyway, just thought you should know. :)
