I'd recommend trying to get in bed even earlier than that, if you can. I've been getting up at 6, but I'm in bed by 9:45 - 10. The LSAT requires a lot more mental energy than a regular day in the life. So even if you typically don't need a full 8 hours to function at your best, you might need it for this. Just a thought.

Speaking of more mental energy... Has anyone even bothered to practice the essay? Pretty concerned that by the end of the test I'll just be, like, dumb.

I know we laugh about how irrelevant the essay is, but I'm actually a little bit worried about it. Has anyone ITT even looked at/actually written one in practice? ETA: Should we?

West coast checking in. Once my brain wakes up In an hour, I'm going to take PT65, review it, etc. My mother-in-law arrives today for like a 5 day stretch (worst timing everrr), so I want to get done what I can. She's a cool lady, but she compulsively dispenses folksy advice

When I get anxious during a PT, my brain fully ceases to function. It's horrible. I see that I'm taking too long on an LG and suddenly it's "OMG I just ruined it it's over I fail the PT I'll fail the LSAT I'll fail my life CALM DOWN, SFOGS no I fucking cannot, will not, this is serious, this is only question number 6 but it is 100% the most important thing anyone has ever done in the history of the world Harvard will hate me GAME OVER."

Guys, I'm about to ask a really strange question pertinent to the above: Do you think I will be allowed to bring a quartz crystal with me in my one-gallon baggie? Or will I have to smuggle it in my underwear or something?

Smuggling quartz crystal in your underwear seems credited

Sorry, but I just found this hilarious. Let's put on a variety show during this telethon and watch the $$ roll in.

'tis as much for my benefit as that of y'all, quick recap for those tuning in from PST

Bro I'm so fucking pissed about this mono thing. Gah damn. Swear I'm not a vagina guys, but I literally can't get out of bed. It literally feels like i have a huge weight on my chest. I cant even sit up man. Freakin student athlete reduced to a senior citizen. Not to mention I cant even swallow right now cuz my tonsils are likely the size of elephantitis balls, so I got all of 0 minutes of sleep. What a setback. Had a PT scheduled today but thats out the window

Get yourself to a clinic and see if they can give you a corticosteroid to reduce the swelling and suppress your immune reaction. You can't be sick like that right now. LSAT is in sixteen days.

At least sum1 ITTA can give u helpful advice

Shots ffffffired!

We should all say f the lsat and start our own law school. TTTT school for colonel's and BP's who like baseball for underachievers
ps. fogs

Im suckin it up and goin to the library. I feel like absolute ass but at this point I can't afford to miss a day

I'm going to the dentist today, for the first time in a few years, not excited

[Hand]

[hetookmetoamovie]

Coffee with butter and coconut oil is surprisingly good. Let's see if this translates into pointsss on PT65. <3
