Bearing the cost

I wish she would grow up. She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can. - Lewis, "The Last Battle" - about Susan and how silly she is being, saying that Narnia is for children

So ... I got into law school ... but ...

I got into the University of Texas. This is actually a huge shock because I'm out of state and there are practically no spots for out-of-staters. My dad is definitely going to be thrilled. I'm not sure how to tell him that I want to defer law school in order to stay in Norman, to work and play, trying to figure out God's will.

Also, a very old and dear friend of mine has just found out that her LSAT isn't good enough to get into Texas, even though she is in-state. So, am I ungrateful for the opportunity given to me in declining to go to law school? Is this the open door, the "neon sign" of God, that this is His will? I'm really not sure how to deal any of this. But, the news is flattering. I love hearing that I'm accepted (though I think I like it better when friends accept me than institutions).
