so today i made my rounds to the doctors, collecting the various documentation necessary to receive accommodations for the LSAT. the process of collection has been long and obnoxious. i've fought with doctors to sign the paper work, the bureaucracy at school to support the paperwork... which i'd like to add, my university's disability services proved beyond obliging and helpful - i am forever grateful. i paid $20 to overnight the paperwork and now i sit... and wait... with my fingers crossed because lets face it, even with a bible of proof, nothing is guaranteed, even for a diabetic test-taker. it'd be obnoxious to follow the rules only to still be denied. maybe i'd have to write the globe for them to do a follow-up on how even when you play by the rule book disabled americans still get systemically denied. i'd be interested to read the comments section on that article.
i saw no less than three doctors today. they all said the same thing- i am a medical anamoly. no suprise. just more prednisone. i had to get my flu shot and thus, i had to up the prednisone so as that my immune system wouldn't rip me apart. i have my fingers crossed on this issue too.
another finger-crossing issue is the nomination of lawrence summers, former president of harvard, to obama's short list for secretary of treasury. harvard fired him for a reason and a good reason at that. anyone who thinks women are intrinsically different and thus, less able at math and science, should not be elected to any short list unless it is the short list to the door. like i said, i have my fingers crossed.
