While I was asleep, I was still thinking about the test and debating over whether or not to cancel. This LSAT bitch is seriously sucking the life out of me, as if I'm not deprived of it enough!
Anyone who has dreamt about the worst case scenario during their first sleep after the test, please share; it would help to know that I'm not alone out here.
In my first dream, I got the score report from the lsac and it turned out to be lower than the score I got for my first test.
As if that weren't enough, my stupid ex showed up and told me that I wasn't a lawyer material, that I'd have to choose one from the three lowest ranking law schools, and laughed at my face. I woke up feeling shitty after only four hours of sleep.
The LSAT and its aftermath is killing me
Wished I'd never had to go through it again, but here it is.
I feel pretty bad for you. I couldn't sleep at all the night before (lied in my bed for 3 hours trying desperately to fall asleep and becoming more nervous with each passing minute), and ultimately only got a measly 4 hours of sleep. However, despite not feeling like I destroyed the test, I am just relieved it is over.
Yeah, same. Hit the bed at 9:30, nodded off around 2:30. Add that I got up at 5:00 to head to the center, well, you have one tired Konner. In the military, I found I was more hypervigilant when fatigued, and I'll be curious to find out whether it paid off for this administration, unintended though it was.
The brain plays funny tricks on you during moments like these. You take each section for what it is, doing your best, then moving on when time is called. You can feel very confident each section and in those moments as you leave the center, you start trying to make sense of it all, to the point of questioning whether you guessed on every question. The first thing you were told is that you would have an opportunity to cancel the test here or later. The last thing you're told is there will be an opportunity to cancel days after you leave. You're excited to be done, amazed to be through with all after weeks, months of preparation, and you want to share that experience with someone. So you visit TLS, where everyone's eager to figure out what questions they got right: "Was the second question on the LG about garden gnomes answer B?" You don't remember answering B, necessarily, and question whether you got it wrong. "How about that LR concerning kitten mittens? Was the answer assumes without justification?" You recall that, vaguely, but think maybe you answered otherwise."
Unless you realized during a specific section or immediately after the end that canceling was your best bet, you're probably okay. Don't let the waiting game get the best of you.
Also, congrats fellow Dec '12 administration survivors on getting the job done!
