Eh it's not always that bad. Just been a particularly busy week. Engineering work seems to be hit or miss.. some weeks I'll put in 40-45 hours and others will be 60-70. Just depends on where the project is at

I feel your pain. I work as an accountant. It's tough to study after working a 10+ hour day.

Also, to cgra, I too am applying this cycle ie apply 2016 for 2017 enrollment. I'm curious what others are doing.... it could affect how much I'm rooting for you guys :twisted: Just kidding. I'm pulling for the whole crew.

Hahahaha finals blow, but live it up. You'll have to hold the rest of us accountable once you finish the semester up. Also, what are your plans for the next year? Take a year off and study? Or gonna work for a bit?

Same here (well, of junior year). Everyone's talking about drilling and going through the Trainer and I feel like I'm behind and should be doing stuff :shock:

I think I've mentioned here, I teach full-time here in Texas. All the take home work that goes into teaching can get pretty annoying at times, especially now that I'm trying to study when I'm out of work. But hey, it's part of the challenge, right? The 2.5 months off in the summer are certainly nice :D

ya I'm on chapter 5 of the Trainer but I didn't even start study job for the October 2015 LSAT until summer, so you're probably ahead of the pack anyway.

Pretty much in the same boat, except I have one more semester next fall. Trying to study for the LSAT on top of class... No bueno.

Slowly getting through the Trainer, about 2 hours a day during the week. This'll be my first weekend of studying so hoping to hit it hard with 5 hours on Saturday. Sometimes I just wanna skip reading and go to drilling because I'm retaking but I'm restraining my self. I already like reading the trainer more than the Kaplan book I studied out of last time.

Right there with you. Thought if I hit it hard during my 4 months off and drill during the 1 month of class before test date I'd be okay, but I feel a little anxious.

Yeah I feel like the practice sections and tests are where you start seeing results so that's why I'm always so antsy to get back into it. It's hard to just read books and do practice problems without a quantifiable benchmark. It's easy for me to convince myself that I'm wasting time or that I'm behind when I just do the books.

I am feeling butterflies every now and then; this is the summer I've been waiting for. I'm gonna have to post a call to arms on this thread once finals are done to begin my foray into battle with the lsat :D

I actually do not have any finals during finals week, just a 10 page paper due. With that being said, my last day of classes is April 21st 8)

I didn't.... but not because of kobe. I'm not a big kobe fan, but those warriors looked nice last night for the record. I spent my time mainly studying for classes and watching my Red Sox finally hand the O's their first L
