Okay, SO. Today I met with a pre-law advisor at my school. Long story short, meeting with a pre-law advisor before you have taken the LSAT is not so fun. (In my defense, I haven’t taken it yet because I was busy a) not taking the LSAT and b) being in Russia.) Next time, I’m just going to tell him not to worry, because I have a brillsauce* plan for this whole “application” thang.
ROLL THE CLIP, ELLE.
*It includes using “brillsauce” in my personal statement. THE ROAD TO J.D. IS PAVED WITH SPILLED BRILLSAUCE.

Written wisdom: Lest we remember
Let me preface this by saying that to not remember is not to forget. Maybe they are according to the thesaurus. But not according to me. (I should also say that this will probably sound a bit like a fourteen year old’s angst ridden Zeen submission (and that I’m not sure if that’s spelled “Zeen” or “Xine.”)
The other day, I was walking with another girl from my program. We were talking about how, in Petersburg, the abnormal occurs with such normalcy. People bump into each other and nobody seems to mind. Shopkeepers are impatient with their customers out of practice, not principle. Buses break down and Point A magically morphs into Point B somewhere alone somebody else’s journey, and it’s same as it ever was (and, simultaneously, not). And we talked about how odd it was to consider the regularly occurring bizarre so average, and how we had routines here, though neither one of us could remember their moment of origin. And then she told me that, while texting with her Russian phone, she thought of her American one. And she couldn’t remember what it looked like. And I, in turn, told her that, while filling out a form for some thing or another, I realized that I could not immediately remember my American cell phone number.
