Having a regular masseuse is really nice, would recommend. It's like having a regular barber. No need to explain shit, they know exactly what needs to be done.

I dream of this.

Burpees are literally one of the best exercises one can do and you need absolutely no equipment to do it

Visualize, manifest.

I seriously encourage everyone to imagine them scoring their goal score (be realistic about it). It's grey day, and everyone is posting in the Waiters thread. You receive an email from LSAC. What does it read? What number do you see? What is the first thing you do? Who do you call/text/email? What do you say? Visualize every last detail. Your clothing. Are your palms sweating? Are you shaking? How will you toast to your success?

Live out your ideal scenario. Imagine it in full, eyes closed, sitting cross-legged and straight-backed on the floor. Dim the lights. Make it a kind of meditation practice.

Kind of like a push up modification where you get up and jump after the extension. A lot of people convince themselves it's fun because it's got a catchy name.

It makes me think of gross things.

I can't do a pushup, anyway. I don't have enough upper body strength. I have willow limbs, Shak can confirm.

Tip for game day: overnight oatmeal. You can make it the night before and nuke it in the microwave in the morning for 0 extra time.

Before I spend this $20 which could easily instead be used to purchase, oh, I don't know, maybe a manicure...

Difficult Questions packet, worth it yay or nay?

Working through it now. I was contemplating whether it was worth it... it's decent practice. I don't think it's a terrific learning exercise (Q-type packets are useful for seeing patterns and structure; this doesn't do that). I think it's most valuable to do timed, to really push yourself to read and react quicker on the tougher Qs, condition oneself to being better prepared for easier Qs.

I got 410 problems and an LSAT ain't one, hit me! Good point.

Also, I've done every single test from 1 to 38...

Then def do it timed. That'll be the real value for you, I'd think.

I drill LG daily. Usually a section or two. About to start now, actually.

Ugh, there is nothing fun about burpees. Absolutely amazing exercise...but they are not fun to do!

It is done. Not like I had plans this weekend, anyway.
