Accepted to law school...now what?

Well, I received my acceptance letter from Ole Miss Law on Saturday, so that ended about half a year of efforts and worries. Now, all I have to do is sign on the dotted line. I'm pretty excited about the opportunity. Just one step closer to taking down the ACLU, haha. I haven't applied to any other schools, mainly because Ole Miss is just as good in quality as any of the other public schools in the South (except for maybe Georgia) and A LOT cheaper.

But now I've also got another path to consider. The journalism teacher from Oxford High School has announced her retirement and several teachers have encouraged me to apply for her job. I think it would be a fun couple of years to teach journalism, maybe a government/politics class and help coach baseball. It would be a fun change of pace and an opportunity to save money for law school. But, then again, it would require a few more headaches in getting certified for a teaching license and would mean I wouldn't have a law degree until I'm like 27. Man, that seems like a long way away.

So, I dunno. I don't plan on rushing into a decision, but I do plan on giving it a lot of thought, discussing it with a lot of people and praying about it. There could even be something else out there I don't know about that could pop up and be an even better option to choose than the two paths I've got before me now. I guess we'll see.
