[JerryLundegard]

I might just do a 2014 take on Howl for my writing sample.

[hetookmetoamovie]

I miss ennui. That has been replaced with constant awareness of the gnawing futility of existence.
::takes deep drag of a cigarette::

I'm taking PT72 today. After that, I think it'll just be LG up the wazoo, and maybe I'll take a look at RC questions from the 60s and 70s that gave me trouble.

[sfoglia]

yeah I assume you were out drinking wine with a bunch of poets last night making fun of the bourgeoisie no?

smoking some gitanes, sipping some red wine, discussing whether raskolnikov was genuinely regretful or instead had ulterior motives when confessing, ...

[ErgoSum]

That mirrors passage had me like



and then

[BillPackets]

GOOD MORNING. It is 11:30, not 6:30. I suck at waking up early.

u r a writer what do u expect

So true. I can't wait to go back to 4am vodka, cigarettes, and ennui on the fire escape.

Taking 71 today. Anyone else feeling not ready? Like, I want to finish my RC difficult passages, and I printed out 6 tests, I want to do the logic games for all of those and at least a handful of LR sections.

I also realized last night that I don't have PT 57, the dinosaurs game one. Seriously, WTF? I have A, B, C, 1-56, then 60-71. What luck.

the dinosaurs game isnt too bad just in out pretty much

[sfoglia]

I just love you all. This is a love letter.


Love,
Sfoglia.

I became irrationally mad at the TV yesterday when Devil Wears Prada was on, and it was mentioned that the Anne Hathaway character had turned down a Stanford Law spot. It was a throwaway detail to show that the character was smart, I guess, but it felt like a personal jab. (I love the movie, but I guess I had never paid attention to that line before.)

[ErgoSum]

So I finished Pt71 and I feel





LR1: -0
LG: -0
LR2: -2
RC: -4 (2 from passage 3 and 2 from passage 4 ;'[ )
95 Raw score

Both LR questions I got wrong I narrowed down to 2, and picked the wrong answer... WHYYYY!!!?

I am glad I took this PT today. Definite confidence boost and I'm feeling good about Saturday.

Good luck to everyone in whatever they do today.

Going to drill Map/Pattern/Rare games and do some LR/RC

movie you'll learn to sympathize when you turn down S for that full ride at Berk

[accessislife]

brute force mostly -though it takes me much longer than 4.5 minutes like 7sage

You're sitting on sat?

How do you not use conditionals? Do you mean like how 7sage builds a chain of conditionals? Because I agree I wish I learned that method rather than powerscores "write out each and every inference"

Edit: this question was for accessislife. I desperately need to step my quoting game up

hey - sorry at work - um i honestly don't have one set way - with in/outs it seems that you can get away with just going through the rules on each question - its time consuming - i'm going to set up some of the tougher games and see if i can wrap my head around conditionals tonight though

Google knows what the ladies like

Now this is my idea of a romantic comedy plotline. After some foibles, maybe a bit of deception, and a speech or two, Berkeley and I have 3 debt-free years together. The end <3~<3~<3~<3

I did PT 71 this morning.

Section 1, LR: -1 (Yay!)
Section 2, LG: -1 (Okay, I can live with that!)
Section 3, LR: -8 (Wait, what?!?!)
Section 4, RC: -9 (My ass hurts)

The mirrors passage wasn't even a problem, it was passage 2 and 3 for some reason.
