To take the test or not to take the test?

To make a long story short, I was about to work out the accommodations with the TLC to take a practice test. I score on an average scale, which I think is not bad at all. With some studying and and practice at increasing my speed I will do much better. It is the speed that counts and is the most difficult for me. I understand how to go about solving the scenarios, but when you are under a time crunch you overlook obvious clues or spend to much time on one and not enough on another.
The complication this mouth was the accommodations for the real test and that is where think got frustration. On January 8 I sent the LSAC a packet of materials that was about four inches thick. It contained Visual reports, past accommodations reports, SAT scores, letter from Disability Services, and other such documents. The LSAC's deadline was the 11th and on the 10th I received an email stating that I was missing Evaluation form E1. Thinking about it that was a form I gave to my doctor to fill out and he sent it back to me blank. So, I faxed it to his office and asked them PLEASE to fill it out and fax it to the LSAC. I then called the next day to make sure this had been done and the office staff assured me that it had. Yeah, weathered that one, except the LSAC never got it. Now at this point I was pounding the top of my desk because it was to late to get accommodations for the February 12 test.
So, that was not very short but I am looking at it this was, I have more time to study and do better on the June test.

Purpose, what is it good for!

Stereotypes, are they not fun? Sometimes it irks me to think of myself as living up to one of those, sometimes amusing but more often hurtful predisposed views. There are a lot of blind lawyers out there which on one had can be welcome. Seeing more people with disabilities in the workforce increases the level of awareness of accessibility and abilities. In the image to the right Matt Murdock (aka Deardevil) is a lawyer in his mundane life and is here seen in court with a white cane and dark glasses. Hollywood gives us a fine example of what a blind person should be able to do, Be a superhero with great legal skills.

I came across a law school that had an application designed to be more accessible to people with visual impairments. There it was "click here for Visual Impaired Applications" I was flabbergasted. In instances such as this one it makes some of the process easier. However, on the other hand, doing what is expected of me has never been the most concerning to me. I was always the one who did the things no one else would do or at least equally as well as the others. But here it is, the role that could have been assigned to me. You could be a piano tuner or peddel on the street corner, be a shrink or go into law. How do stereotypes come about? For the first two in the above list they were very common in the earlier twentieth century and the last to are very prevalent recently. Why, what changed in society to shift the focus of ability form one to another? Are people who are blind just more lawful? That statement should be met by derisive laughter. Maybe we are so organized and the field of law demands a high level of organization we are drawn to it. Again laughter of the absurd kind inserted here. In Germany PWAB are encouraged to go into massage which is very tactile so you really do not need to see. But, this philosophy of a set path based on one of the five senses is not an answer that I will except. Now I am not belittling being blind and a masseuse, not at all, but I am not interested for myself. I have been told , by a complete stranger nun the less, that I should be a masseuse and argued quite a lot with me when I politely replied that it was not for me. So, where does that leave me? I have and have always had a deep felt duty to work for some over arching stereotype rending, society changing purpose. And here I am ranting.
