Auxiliary Benefits of LSAT Study

Obviously, we're all studying for the LSAT so that we can get a high score on the exam. However, if you'll just humor me for a minute, I was wondering if anybody has experienced any positive side-effects of LSAT study other than doing well on the LSAT. Is there anybody out there who thinks that studying for the LSAT has helped them with law school? With life? Anything?

^^ Ha Ha.

I think it's just awesome to know that you can pick apart just about anyone's flawed argumentation. I've been able to make some college drunks at the bar look pretty stupid at times, one of which turned bright red in the face upon realizing this. That's got to be worth something, no?

RC passages are interesting and informative.

I used to have insomnia. Now, I'm awake late at night with a purpose.

I won't know until after October whether this is a lasting benefit or not.

Knowing the difference between water based and oil based drilling muds has saved my life on no fewer than three occasions.

This is definitely because you studied for the LSAT and not at all related to the fact that you were arguing with a drunk.

I'm now the go-to guy in solving dilemmas pertaining to awkward seating arrangements between people who can only sit in certain places.

I know that some doesn't have to be few and many isn't most. In this case the LSAT has ruined some/many of my relationships (hint:it must be at least one). Other than that this test has made my life pretty miserable.

With all the reading that I did studying for the LSAT, I found my ability to remember orders as a waiter has been strengthened. I also learned a lot of neat facts and convo topics from RC.

No kidding... The other day I went out to dinner with Alfred, Bob, Clyde, Diane and Evan. Now Evan and Diane used to date so they can't sit next to each other and Bob and Clyde each wanted to sit on a corner. If Alfred sits next to... Anyways, I diagrammed out all of the possible seating arrangements in no time.
