About me

I am 22, Junior/Senior (I think I'm like a unit short of Senior). I transferred to San Jose State in January. I received my Associates in Business Administration from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, CA (Orange County). I am studying Business Management as well as Communications. Once I graduate from San Jose which hopefully will be Spring 09 if not then Fall 09, I intend to go to Law School, have yet to decide where I am applying to. I am starting to think of applying to schools in the Seattle area. I moved to San Jose because I didn't like Orange County. The people there were snobbish and not my kind of people, plus the weather was way too boring and the scenery was blah. I do have to admit though, I miss not being within 10-15 minutes of the beach, the only perk to O.C. in my opinion. I like the area here and the weather is a little more spiced up compared to So. Cal. However, I haven't liked the weak job market that is very much existent here, and the businesses here are just too blah---something about going to a grocery store and finding the store managers slacking off is just so much a drag. So, since I don't want to go back to O.C., I think I will give the Washington area a chance.
In this course, I am hoping to learn to better effectively communicate and be able to use what I learn, as a lawyer.
Ok, well that's enough on Me. Hope everyone does well in this quick session, and will be able to enjoy the rest of your

Paula, The Seattle area is much different from California. And not just the weather. The economy is in better shape (thank Microsoft and other tech companies). My spouse just completed his doctorate at the U of Washington; we're going up there next week for his graduation. Although we like the city, the lack of sun is challenging.

Fortunately, I was born and raised in New England, so I'm not attached to California in any form, and was using the bay area as a test to see if I would change my mind about state. So yea, I have nothing to loose about trying Seattle, so I'll start looking up law schools there shortly. Glad to see you like the city. I'm looking forward to getting the change to check it out.
