Nice. Just about to leave SBUX. Watching some swimming and typing up this little brief of today. If you want a nice cheap drinkable red, it's all about Col di Sasso.

Had class today. Fairly tired. Four hours of class & 16 games. Fairly happy, but I do want to work more on some of these grouping games. They seem to click super easy or sometimes don't. These are all weird games where you want to simplify rules or variable sets.

Good, good. Red or white, my friend?

Also, the airplane game ain't too bad really, imho. You'll be fine.

Nice. Just about to leave SBUX. Watching some swimming and typing up this little brief of today. If you want a nice cheap drinkable red, it's all about Col di Sasso.

Had class today. Fairly tired. Four hours of class & 16 games. Fairly happy, but I do want to work more on some of these grouping games. They seem to click super easy or sometimes don't. These are all weird games where you want to simplify rules or variable sets.

Damn that's a ton of games in 1 day. The most i've ever done in a day was like 8.. lol you're insane yo, but that's good that you're productive. You did the redo's today as well as the original timing???

Oh no - each game just once. the R is the 7sage recommended time. I always jot the recommended time in the top corner of the page after I've done it just so it's more accessible in the future. the redos are just ones that I felt I could have done much better on (I'll redo them a day or two from now).

A white sounds perfect, then!

As it seems I am now ~Deathly Ill~ and thus can't responsibly drink alcohol, I'm forced to live vicariously through others' wine consumption.

oh i see, lol i misunderstood. you like substitution questions? oh gosh.. lol yeah i'm sure there will be at least 1, they've shown up a lot on recent tests, and june had one. i think i suck at them because most of my lg prep has been from older PT

About to have dinner..BUT

I finally finished drilling for the day YAY

I just have to do chapter 8 LG which is a lot of LG, but hopefully I won't have to drill too much tomorrow. Yeah, I know wishful thinking lol.

Lessons learned from today: Chill tf out when reading the rules, don't rush to write each rule down, read them in tandem slowly, figure out what the game board and pieces will look like, and then ATTACK!

I drilled all of the games at least 1x some 2x. I'm going to do a fresh copy of all of them tomorrow, and then do my 4th/5th copy of them in a week.

loll literaly loled, pretty good inspiration though..

[ngogirl12]

So, I finished doing almost all of Chapter 8, around 9 games tonight, I'll finish the remaining 6 games tomorrow.

Overall, I feel pretty confidant on almost all the games I did, there were only ~1 or 2 I was unsure of. My timing was between 6-8 minutes. If I got perfect scores on them, do you guys think I should redo them until I'm between 6-7 minutes? I know it might sound crazy, I just want to be really fast and understand everything, so something like nerves won't affect me (hopefully) come test day.

One thing I did differently, if I zoomed in too quickly with my game board I stopped myself and became better about reading the rules more slowly. Also I caught potential mistakes (by rushing) and was able to make better inferences than before. I really need to wean myself off of rushing through the rules!

Sidenote: Really wish I had a tv so I could watch swimming and gymnastics for the Olympics. I've been entertaining myself through snapchat. Oh well, I guess snapchat will have to do :/

Tfw it took JY 20 mins to solve the same game it took you 20-30 mins to solve. #validation

It's true.. I'm ashamed to say that I add $100 to my sbux account like its nothing.

I don't get why I'm getting wrecked by PT 40 LG. 3 of these games are basic af and they're taking me so long to do :'(
