So, earlier today my mom calls me, and our conversation goes something like this:

"So...are you going to come home?"
"No."
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"Get back to auditioning."
"Well, how long will that take?"
"As long as it takes."
"Well, how long are you going to be there?"
"As long as I can be."
"Well, maybe you should pick up some LSAT books."
"..."

Hm, I kind of like the title of this post. Sounds like a funny book/story.
