Good morning, everyone Woke up super early today to head to a conference in RI. At least I remembered to pack my RC stuff so I can do some passages on the train, even though I'll prob just end up falling asleep.

Hope everyone's studying goes well today!

You are working too? I work full-time, and I am sure I have bitched a lot about how much it affects my prep.

Finally withdrew from December LSAT. Feb/June it is!

No more just doing PTs without review of any sort as my only prep. Will dig deep into myself this time! This is very important!

It is what it is. I've just accepted that I'm not going to get great results on PTs during the week. Dunno about you, but I end up rereading a lot of sentences.

From today, I am going to run every evening when I get home, take a shower, eat, make a doppio and then study. I think exercising, eating well and on time, 7+ hours sleep, and coffee might be the solution.

I can definitely vouch for the running or lifting, especially if you get on a schedule with it. Takes away some of the post-work grogginess.

I had to look up what a doppio is though

Funny!

Isn't this a kind of show off?
only 10 pt and you scored 180？！

And another 180 yesterday, broseph. I was happy about this one because it was the first pt I took with a fifth section pulled from a previous test. I'm trying to get as close as I can to actual test conditions. All these stories about people scoring ten points lower than their practice scores on the actual test day make me nervous.

SO basic. I sometimes like to ask for a "medium" coffee when I'm at Starbucks or someone's going around taking orders, just to establish how counter-counter-cultural I am. (medium=tall right?)

You're such a rebel

I tend to order a tall caramel macchiato every time I go to Starbucks so it's like a reflex now to blurt out my order out when I reach the barista. Sometimes they throw me off by asking if I want soy milk, whipped cream, etc, and I'm like... whatttt.... I literally have to stop and think about what I just ordered. I need to figure out how to tackle my coffee drinking habit, haha

So true. I worked there in high school and I'm basically a coffee connoisseur. nbd. I <3 Sbux

Mist! I've always wondered if it was possible to get a peppermint mocha year round instead of just winter. Do most Starbucks still have the peppermint syrup in stock? Would I get a weird look if I ordered one in March or some other non-winter month?

bit of a time jump it seems between those
but DD all day, Starbucks is too pricey #poor

I only get Starbucks whenever my dad gets Starbuck gift cards from credit card reward points. If not, I just go to a local donut shop and get a cup for less than a dollar.

Duh, I know she worked there in high school, but maybe she remembers if they tend to have peppermint syrup in stock year-round or not. Hopefully they do, cuz I love peppermint mochas!

I wish we had places like that around here. Boston/Cambridge is just way too expensive, even a box of cereal here is like 4 or 5 bucks I take most of my PTs at Starbucks so I tend to reward myself with a macchiato every time I BR

and...... I'm currently at my local Starbucks getting a caramel macchiato. LOL

Is it hard to concentrate in a place like Starbucks? 'Cause whenever I do PTs it's at my home where it's quiet.

Starbucks close too early. I wanted go there to study, but, the one nearby closes at 9. Great in the mornings though! 5 AM!!!
Presently, I am relying on home-made doppio. its better quality coffee than Starbucks though!
