Re: June 2017 Waiters Thread- Dowsing for 180s
I felt exhausted and took a few days to catch up on sleep. I have a dissertation to work on, so it definitely keeps me occupied and I enjoy working on it! Perhaps find something that you enjoy learning and take that up for a bit. But I am sure having your spouse back will help you feel better!!!Walliums wrote:Does anyone else feel a little depressed? It's not quite the word that I want to use but since taking the test I have had no motivation really to do anything and work is a drag (very slow right now). For the last few months I had been breathing the LSAT, confidence a bit rattled at the administration, and now I'm just... I don't know? In a fog I guess?
Might be some others dealing with it or might be just me. FWIW my spouse has been away for the last month-ish and comes back tomorrow ( ) , so that is possibly a major contributor.

I backed out of plans because I told someone I was "in grieving" because of the LSAT.

Well considering I've already finished the LR sections in the Trainer, I feel like I'm at a pretty good spot and can now focus on learning LG while drilling LR. Whenever I do the Cambridge sets, i miss no more than 2 on any of the category 1 sections, about the same for category 2. Category 3 and 4 are where I really mess up, so I think more practice, more review of the questions and maybe a little more review of the general principles will have me in a good spot on LR.it's allgood wrote:You may wish to consider starting with LG and mastering those and then going to LR.

I've also only been at this for a month, so I'm not sure if I'm being too hard on myself or what.

He was a stressed guy, but he killed the test, killed his app, and got a fully to the school of his dreams.

Mine is written and is on the third-ish draft. Not in love with it, but it's a safe topic which I think will be okay if I get a good LSAT.lynn.wibi wrote:Has anyone started thinking/writing their PS?

Re: June 2017 Waiters Thread- Dowsing for 180s
I would generally say never go past the last line on the second page, and that's about it. I put this limit mostly because a few schools have a 2 page limit and it would suck to have written a 10 page masterpiece and not be able to use it. IIRC Texas and Berkeley both had 2 page limitsNavyNuke wrote:I have. How short is too short? Mine ended not much over 550 words.

I would write about the topic you enjoy most - worked for me. I scrapped 3 drafts and I finally said I'm going to write about the one I enjoy most and it was the best.heyduchess wrote:I've narrowed mine down to three topics and I'm letting my law school friends vote now.NavyNuke wrote:I have.

I have a framework using my first marathon (at the age of 34) as a backdrop to my little story of personal (and professional) growth. I want to make sure I portray some necessary information without parroting my resume. It'll take some work. For now I am focusing on stressing out over nothing.lynn.wibi wrote:Has anyone started thinking/writing their PS?
