The sun is out!  It must be spring then.  There is a Ray Bradbury story that takes place on a planet where there is only one hour of sunshine every one hundred years.  I think about that story on days like today.  Be careful, it is easy to let something like the sun be an excuse not to study.  Make sure you are keeping to your schedule.  The sun will come back.

I am learning about this new technology tool called the internet.  We are hoping to roll out a small Google Ads campaign in the next month or so.  I just learned about Snapchat today.  There is something to make every lawyer shiver.  As much as it promises that the pictures will disappear, I would still use it like your grandma will be seeing those pictures.  You never know what level of access law schools will have.

Speaking of law schools, the University of Washington is having a meet and greet with their fabulous director of admissions, Mathiew Le.  It is Tuesday, April 23 at 5:30pm in Smith 107 on the University of Washington campus. It is an excellent opportunity to ask some questions if you are thinking about applying for the fall of 2014.  I understand food will be provided.

I was at a legislative town hall meeting this weekend where one of the state legislators said something was "necessary but not sufficient."  And that was not the lawyer.  For those of you who have not taken our class yet, this won't be as humorous as it for those who have.  For me, it was a good reminder of how the skill sets of law school are needed everywhere.  Especially in Olympia.  Understanding the importance of words and the impacts they can have in everyday life is key to the LSAT, law school and the practice of law.  If you enjoy the power of a good vocabulary and love the use of a well-built phrase, come join us this week.  Our classes for the June LSAT start April 6 and 10, we will help you build on that appreciation and turn it into a marketable skill.
