Nah, the June waiters thread was solid. Not saying the Sept one isn't going to better, but still.
No, it really wasn't.

There are a lot of games for which diagramming is unnecessary IMO. I think a lot of people diagram first and think about the rules closely after - personally I think you should answer the first question (the which-one-of-these-is-possible question) before diagramming. Helps you understand the setup better by forcing you to pay close attention to the rules.
I've never considered doing that. I'm gonna try it out on a game today and see what's up

I'm K-JD, but i've got management experience, applying to fulbright and MPP programs at London school of Economics, and i'll prob do those before LS if I get accepted.... but it depends on my LSAT. If I can get an 172 and higher, I'll have the grades for a decent scholarship at most T-14's and prob do that.

Fulbright > everything else.

I'm supervisor of the entire building, including fitness/maintenance/lifeguard staff + in charge of the volleyball leagues and basketball leagues for about 10 hours a week, usually from afternoon till closing.

I'm also in charge of training new hires in the fitness dept, plus I run (up until the 20th of sept) the basketball leagues.

Nothing fancy, but it's decent, at least I think so.

Nah, PT. It depends on the time of the year. I'll be working ~30 hours a week this upcoming semester, but this summer, I rarely worked more than 20.

That sounds really interesting. So do you work part time one place and part time at the other or are the food stamps + halfway house related?

Lol well by food samps I mean samples, like I supervise them giving out samples, I work there 25-30 hours a week.

And at the halfway house I make sure everyone is in and sober at night, and am on call for issues and do some other assorted stuff. I work maybe 15-20 hours for that a week.

What kind of non profit work do you do?

Just found the results from a practice test I took freshman year of undergrad (April 2010) through Kaplan. Apparently it was PT 36 and I got a 168. I'm definitely taking PT36 this weekend and I am going to give up if I score worse.

HAHA, sorry. I read that too quickly. I love samples! That's the best part about going to Costco around noon on a Sunday.

I work for an ed non-profit, primarily running a large program for low-income elementary and middle-school kids. I'm not a teacher, though. I enjoy it, but it can definitely be a bit lonely because I'm one of the only young-ish people I know in my town and there aren't many people who seem to care.
