All of my friends are getting fucking tired of me talking about law school admissions and I've pushed everybody in my life away. But I don't care because I can keep refreshing my email while watching Weeds. They be like "motherfucker I don't care about XYZ's BL% and Debt at repayment."

That'll show you to text me asking what's up.

How do you respond when someone says "My best friend is going to Baltimore Law, his parents says they'll pay for it and he can live at home."

It's rank 150-something, with 5.1% big law (44.1% overall), costs 26k/year for in-state.

Even if it's not fiscal suicide, do I say congrats? This person is also pretty fuckin proud of graduating with a bunch of honors from the honors college of a school that is RNP by US News. RNP
I just said congrats that sounds like a sweet deal not having to pay. But even an aspie could tell those were empty ass words.

lol nice to see you PnJ.
hope your cycle is going swell.

Never forget the golden rule. Don't give advice unless asked. Sounds cutthroat at times, but most of the time you try to you sound like a try hard prestige obsessed toolbag douche cuntface

Literally everyone I know IRL thinks I'm insane for retaking for scholarship money/refusing to go unless the money's there. I've basically stopped talking about LS stuff to anyone aside from TLS, who is filled with people even more neurotic than I am, and my brother, who lives with me and who therefore has no choice but to listen.

It's literally night and day the PTs I take where I do a warm-up and those I take without.

I've actually never tried a warm up. How does it work? Maybe I'll try one before PTing tomorrow.

Curious too.

Talking about law school stuff to people IRL makes me super uncomfortable.

Yeah the other day I had a person recommend me go to American. She pushed it really hard, talking about how it's such a great school. "It's no Harvard, but it's a really great school." I was like "eh don't really wanna be in DC but thanks I'll think about it".

Then you have TLS where T6 is the elite, T14 is mediocre, and T20 is lower class.

Zacboro when are you gonna PW

[Dr. Nefario]

If t20 is lower class I mus be going for homeless

[Big Red]

I feel like if I can sit there and listen to friends talk about their jobs they can listen to the occasional law school digression.

Oh, I've gotten that a lot. I usually just say, "Oh. Good luck to him/her." But I guess I can be a bit of a bitch sometimes.

(And no I'm not sorry.)

Every now and then, my mom will slip up. Like, the other day she says to me, "Oh, well you can always apply to TTT if you don't do well on this LSAT." But she's mostly been so fantastic in understanding why I'm so obsessive regarding potential scholarships, and how the LSAT is especially important for that reason.

She is a blessing, because the rest of my friends are like, STFU already.

Concerned lurker here.

Plz keep the posts on-T lest this wonderful thread get LOUNGED.

Also you are all wonderful human beings. Sfogs, I will be your personal cheerleader for Febs. Did you register at Queens?

Also, also - Post-LSAT extravangaza/NY-pub crawl for TLSers who kill it in Febs! Something to look forward to.

FTR: GT was going to postpone in December and this was what got him through it as well. You're in good company.

got my lil casio analog watch in the mail today. going to try to PT tonight without an online timer.
i'm back at work for the first time this week after the fake blizzard New York is so ugly with this dirty slush everywhere. and it's really nice to be able to study during the day I am not looking forward to the library after work tn. if only this blizzard had dumped a few more feet and kept me trapped in brooklyn for 10 days.

[PeanutsNJam]

Shaq don't worry it was just jokes, I didn't mean what I said. Sfogs wears manolos, not uggs.

I wouldn't worry about the lounge. Not even the Sept study thread was lounged. The Sept waiter thread was lounged before score release, which is like super rare. At like 600 pages.

Totally wanted to stop posting in here after the other day, but I'll just swallow my pride. Still gonna keep posting to a minimum though, for everyone's sake. But okay, so today was the first day I used a analog watch to time myself instead of a digital watch (well, I still used the digital watch, but I turned it upside down so I could only look at the analog watch). It wasn't bad, but I like to reset it to 12:00 between sections so I don't need to do useless math to figure how much time is left. It takes me like 5 seconds (give or take like 2 seconds) to reset the watch.

1) On game day, typically, will I have this 5 second interval between sections to hurry up and reset my watch?

2) Also, is it okay if I set my analog watch on my desk to look at instead of wearing it? (I know desk space will be a factor, but does anyone know if this is allowed or not?)

like Rigo said, use the 7Sage proctor for direction and your analog for time.

I do the same. And yes, I'm pretty sure its allowed on your desk. Someone told me during his first take the proctor interrupted him mid-LG and told him that the watch was only allowed on the desk and not on his wrist. I don't think this is typical and it was pretty bitchy to interrupt during a section instead of on break or something. If you're worried just ask the proctor on test day. It seems like they make up their own rules sometimes.
