I’ve been a big fan of Kiva.org for a long time, and now I get to help them out. I’ve just been on-boarded as a volunteer loan request translator, and have completed my training. Be on the lookout for loan requests translated by yours truly!
That’s Two
Received my admitted students packet for William & Mary Law School today! So far, so good!
One Yes, Fourteen In Process
I got into American University’s Washington College of Law yesterday! Woohoo! Glad to be actually accepted somewhere, and looking forward to hopefully having several choices down the road. Work is absolutely nuts this week, so this was a welcome end to a long Monday. Now if only that could happen every night this week. :-)
First Law School News, and Killing Time
I heard back from one of the schools to which I applied for early non-binding admission. They said that while they were able to make final accept/deny decisions for most of the 1,500 early applications they received, they were going to hold mine for further consideration during the general admissions cycle. Better than a “no”, and it was a top 15 school so that gives me some extra hope for the other schools!
Now that law school apps are out the door, I am looking for some good ways to fill my time. I checked on French courses at the San Francisco Alliance Française, but they have already started the current session. I didn’t have a great experience at the Alliance in D.C., either, so I think I’m going to pass on that.
A while back, I sent in an application to be a volunteer translator for Kiva. I took the language test this week and sent it back, so hopefully I’ll hear back about that in the next few weeks. I think that would be a cool thing to do. I’m a big fan of Kiva, as I wrote a while back on Tropophilia.
