Ah, helps explain why your English is so good.
I added the "helps" after the thought... because LSAT

Adjuncting is not for those who value job security, benefits, or decent pay.

I think most ppl eventually desire these 3 things

Idk that rests on the assumption that most ppl aren't dumb

I'm sorry that I missed fashion talk earlier. I'm online shopping to get over these LSAT blues. Turns out I have a hard time distinguishing between "interesting/edgy" and "ugly."

Fashion knows no time, Movie. (P.S. Yes to the Joan Didion avatar!)

There's also the Fashion thread. It's pretty great.

I need to involve myself with that! I dress kind of like an alien at times. It might help me avoid doing so unintentionally

Cool hand will not restate that I've heard adjuncting can b a hard life and I know from experience that an office job can really suck I actually enjoy the trades and have worked in them at various times in my life and there's money 2 b made there but most of that shit is really hard on your body and takes a toll real quick

Adjuncting is not for those who value job security, benefits, or decent pay. I mean it can be OK for a bit but it's definitely not something you want to do for an extended period of time. Plus I realized I didn't want to be a teacher for the rest of my life and at that point the long-term rationale for doing it disappears, and then you might as well take a more steady office job to pay the bills while you try to make preparations for the future

Are you a biglaw hopeful

Not really what I'm aiming for (I'm more of a public interest kinda guy), but I try to keep an open mind about it, as it would be nice to actually have a lot of money at some point. Plus big law is more or less the only way to make sure you have a job lined up for after graduation early in the game, which def. would make life a lot easier

I drilled nec assumption today too... Has anyone tried approaching nec assumption questions as must be true? I read that tip on a blog and I think it kind of helped on the (Cambridge) difficulty 3/4 ones.

Shoe trees? Yea, I'm intringued by monks but I don't want to spend $365 on a non-traditional style of shoes.

monks are the most nonsensical shoe they can look nice but i've never been keen on the hybrid dress/casual thing

[ErgoSum]

Just did 50 assumption questions. Negation test galore

Necessary or sufficient

100000009999 dollars says necessary based on the negation ref

Tried to mix a little of both in there. But yea a decent amount of necessary. Doing some games now.



And lurking

Yeah I hear you. It was on the lsatblog website... The reasoning is basically since the stim says "required" or "depends upon" than TCR is basically what must be true for the argument to hold and is essentially the underpinning of why the negation test works. lol it is kind of confusing but I think it helped me frame the stim better in those hard nec assumption questions.

sign up deadline has passed no? so we should have a decently reliable indication now

[BillPackets]

That would def confuse me bc MBT in the sense of a flaw/assumption is diff than an inference of what MBT, but it's all about da points

[Hand]

Truth.

Anyway, what are y'all gunning for? Everyone hoping for big law?

I'd love Southern BigLaw, but I know that's almost impossible.
