The last of my law school applications go out today.  I’d already sent some out back in October, but I had a sudden itch to send a couple more out.  With that said, I’ve officially applied to all the law schools in Georgia.  I have to get accepted to at least one right? Eh, I believe I will anyways.  I worked hard to make my personal statements, statements of purpose, and resume perfect. 

So, here’s to 2006! May all my applications be accepted!

And, just a word of caution to those considering law school, be aware that the whole application process is not cheap.  You have to pay for an LSDAS account ( to hold all of your records such as LSAT scores, applications, and letters of recommendations), LSAT test, LSDAS Reports ($12/each and each school applied to requires one), and Application Fees.  Overall, you’re probably talking at least $500 just to get the ball rolling and there’s no guarantee that you’ll get accepted the first time around.

Also, keep in mind that virtually all law schools start enrollment during the fall semester.  So, plan ahead!  If you want to go in August 2007, don’t wait until June-July 07!! It will be too late by then.  Earlier is always better.

I finally got around to installing SUSE Linux 10 on my pc.  It’s a dual boot setup and was fairly easy to install.  The only catch was that I had to set the install resolution to 1024×768, even though my monitor supported the default 1280×1024 resolution.  In that regard, I’m not sure many casual pc users would have figured out the install.  But, other than that, the install went rather smoothly.

Once the install finished, the resolution problem came into play again as I tried to increase it to 1280×1024.  But, the only resolution available was the 1024×768 that was set during install.   So, I did some quick searching and came up with xKonfigurator.  Bringing up the console, I type in xKonfigurator….nada…hmmmm.  Ok, so I go back and search some more and find out SUSE has it’s own program called SAX2 for setting up your display.  So, I type in SAX2 -a, thinking it would set it up automatically….but, it fails.

Now I definitely know that most casual users wouldn’t have gotten this far.  But, perhaps the problem I’m experiencing is unique?  Perhaps not, but it doesn’t bode well for SUSE, in my opinion, when something as simple as changing the screen resolution requires this much trouble.

But, despite that fact, my main goal for installing linux is to learn how to navigate around the console.  That, I can do, without KDE.
