The 99th Percentile - Made my housing deposit for Gee-whiz, Georgetown...

Made my housing deposit for Gee-whiz, Georgetown Law’s on-campus dorm, yesterday. So come August 23rd, this will be the view of the Washington Monument from my roof.

About me

I got the nickname "99th Percentile" from my college buddies when we joined the Mug Club at our on-campus bar. We got to name one another's mugs; the intent was to embarrass your friends by exploiting a flaw in their personality. I was studying (I use the term loosely) for the LSAT at the time and spent the better part of three months bragging that I was going to ace the test. Unfortunately, I couldn't live up to the name my friends chose. I only scored in the 98th percentile. I may never live down the humiliation.

I graduated college this past May and decided to take a year off between college and law school. For the time being, this blog will be dedicated to sharing my adventures over the next several months; among them, trying to support myself by playing poker at Foxwoods casino, any progress I may or may not make on the novel I may or may not end up writing, playing drums in a band for the first time in a few years, and, of course, the results of this whole law school thing.
