Are you thinking about going to law school or business school?  Or perhaps—like crazy yours truly—both at the same time?  This blog entry covers the following:

- Is law school right for me?
- Is business school right for me?
- How do I narrow down which school to apply to or attend?
- Okay, I picked a school and got in!  Now how do I prepare?!

I just returned from a three-week-long vacation in Australia and Asia.  It was—like most of my vacations—filled with notable disasters and joys.  Here are a few of the highlights (or, in a few cases, lowlights):

• Cuddling with an indifferent koala, petting appreciative kangaroos.
• Snorkeling with colorful big and little fish (and gorgeous plants) in the Great Barrier Reef.
• Watching aboriginal dancers and learning about didgeridoo, natural medicine, and more.
• (Badly) throwing a spear and a boomerang (some poor tourist now has one less finger!  Okay, so I’m just kidding about that.  Maybe.)
• Hiking in a gorgeous albeit truly rainy rainforest.
• Getting sucked on by leeches and bitten by a zillion mosquitoes in that same rainforest.

You’d think that companies would be more clueful today, but alas, even some overall clued-in companies I’ve worked for (and generally admired) spew e-xcrement like this.

I was reminded about how press releases should look when I read this clued-in comment from an entry on Jeremy Zawodny’s blog:
