I missed Biden's speech. One of the great tragedies of my life. Youtubing it now.

Sounds plausible - or maybe Michelle helps Barack. 8)

I've gotten -7/94 on the last 3 PTs. As evidenced by this one, that sometimes doesn't scale so nicely. Glad I managed to get a PT in today at least. Next hurdle will be morning PTs, and not! screwing! up! all! the! time!

On a bright note, I thought my laptop got stolen. Laptop did not get stolen. So that's good.

Fuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkk.
It's... 2PM? Don't sweat it too much. Just apologize and emphasize that you do really need to meet with them and want to reschedule but that you will also keep yourself flexible in case they have an opening (i.e. it reads like you're willing to bend over for them to meet with you due to your mistake...they'll just set a time... they aren't going to actually keep you on call, but, if you make it sounds like you're willing to be on call and your professor takes you up on that, they're being a bit of a prick.)
^ solid advice!
CONDOLENCES D': But I'm sure it will all work out. I've overslept through two major flights in the past two years if it makes you feel better. :oops:


The meeting was at 10am. I was moving until 3am because I planned poorly, and just completely blanked. I apologized, and we're rescheduling. The professor and I have known each other for years, so I'm hoping this won't counteract all of that. But yeah, completely fell asleep at the wheel.
great advice above

just explain it calmly and you should be fine. professors are notorious procrastinators and many of them are absent-minded enough to relate.

ps: moving like moving residences?

Michelle is incredibly smart. So is President Obama. When he was running for President in 2008, some of the faculty at HLS said they always thought Michelle would be the one to be President. (I read this in the NYT I think).

So I did 16 MBT questions. I went -4, but I'm not even upset about it because after reviewing I realized I made two stupid mistakes. 1) I solved a MBF question as a MBT question and 2) I made a stupid mistake with interpreting the question the wrong way.

SO, it really was -2. Not the best score, but there's still time, I still have 34 MBT questions left from the Cambridge packet. I'm going to do them when they are included in the course as HW questions though (I use Cambridge as HW drilling).

I am NOT looking forward to Necessary Assumption questions because 1) I hate them and 2) there are 266 problems, how the hell am I going to get all that in after one lesson? JY doesn't break up the Necessary Assumption questions like he does with MBT.

So yeah, I'm going to intensively review these two LR questions tomorrow before hitting up the MBF lesson and drilling Cambridge questions.

Yeah! It was both good and very informative. I don't think there was much new information as far as prepping, but just hearing someone's story in detail from a 150s score to a 170s score is inspiring! It also basically solidified my choice to sit out this cycle and take the test when I am 100% ready to kill it!

I think they said it will be up within a couple of days. It wasn't too long either, I think a bit over an hour. :D

Decided to take some days off (as i wrote last night). But I woke up this morning and realized maybe waiting until Tuesday to get back into it might not be the best choice, especially going straight back in into a PT. Should I do the PT on Sunday instead, and then slowly BR it over the course of Monday and Tuesday? OR just say screw it and not do shit until Tuesday?

I need some guidance!!

When you say LSAT style notation for RC, what exactly does that imply. Main point/Conclusion, Distinction, Structure, etc.??? I seem to be having trouble making uniform notations from passage to passage

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
