LSAT... LSAC... and waiting.

I'm quite aware I keep posting about law school prep, but you know what? Any incoming senior prepping for any sort of grad school would be doing the same sort of anxious preparation / obsession.

I just finished reading, "The Law School Admission Game" by Ann Levine. I must say, it definitely has made me feel like I have a bit of an edge due to the knowledge imparted by Levine, a law school admissions director.

I'm currently researching LSAT weekend prep courses, and in about 10 minutes, I'll be analyzing my correct and incorrect answers from the June LSAT, since it has taken me a few weeks to get over the trauma of being in the middle percentile.

I'm really hoping that the additional prep, the LSAT course, and the fact that I know what to expect does wonders for my test anxiety... because I really need to bump up a few points to be more competitive in the applicant pool.

Onto analyzing. I hope you're enjoying your summer. I can definitely say that I'm happy I had this last summer to take a break and enjoy spending time with my kids.

Summer

And here you thought summer was for kicking back and lounging around. Well, it is, but not so much when you take summer courses. There's nothing quite like cramming in 16 weeks or so of class into 4 or 6 weeks, depending on which courses you take. This summer, I'm taking Intro to Criminal Justice (which ends next week!), Intro to Environmental Science, and Criminology. I figure that summer is a good time to work on my minor (criminal justice) while fulfilling the general ed requirements of matriculation.

Since I'll be a junior at the beginning of July, so I need to start thinking about when I'm going to take the LSAT, the law school entrance exam. October seems like a good bet, but I'm almost maxed out on credits this fall, so I'm hoping I'll have time to prepare for them.

Well, back to the books. I have an env sci test Friday night.
