soo… i totally forgot that this thing even existed for a while there. not only is this the most boring blog it is also the most neglected blog. hahahaha.

law school app update: i got my september lsat score and it was one point below my ideal/goal. sucks!!!!!!! also, i got my first letter of recommendation in TODAY!!! eek! it is very exciting.

ironically, i am not sure if i will apply to law school anymore and even if i apply and get in, i’m not sure if i will go…. don’t ask me why. i hate it when people do that. just because. just because.

i have a new personal best score for my lsat preptest tonight: 2 points higher than my last personal best. I don’t want to jinx myself because everytime i do well and blog about it, the next time i take i do completely shitty. i am content. hopefully, i will continue to do consistently in this score range. the test is only three weeks away.

my last best lsat preptest score this summer was a little above the 80th percentile. tonight, for the first time ever (hopefully it’s not a fluke) i broke in to the 90th percentile for the first time! another new record for me is that i completed a section with all the answers right! i am so happy because i can’t tell you how discouraged i was beginning to feel and was in such a bad mood tonight because of a bunch of reasons. i can’t wait to continue to build on my score!

today i did another preptest. i didn’t do as well as i did last night but still better than the last 2 tests. i am noticing a pattern: i always do much worse in my first section than any of the others. i think that maybe i should warm up my brain before doing the preptest. i’m gonna try that tomorrow to see if it yields favorable results.

then, i did SIX (yes six!) loads of laundry. the sad thing is that i am not done yet. i think that it’s been a month since i did laundry. i have 2 more loads actually. i will probably try to do it tomorrow… either that or it’ll have to wait until next month - HAHA!! (J/K?)

wow, can this blog be anymore exciting? lsat preptests and laundry. maybe the powers that be will charge me with boring people to death with this blog and force me to take it down.

last but not least, i took a personality test today and it turns out i’m very much the type b personality (shocker).

According to your answers, you are far from having a Type A personality. The stressed out, competitive part of your character rarely, if ever, surfaces. Your attitude to life is more of the “smell the roses” type, and you know how and when to chill out. This likely means that you’re easy to be around, and people feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. It’s a very healthy attitude towards life. Just make sure you don’t miss important opportunities because of being too blasé and easy-going (yes, it’s possible!). Taking on a challenge and getting competitive now and then can add some zest to your life.

i did two lsat preptests today. this is my first day doing preptests even though i said i was gonna start a few days ago. i couldn’t believe how horribly i did on the first test so i picked up the pace for the second test and it went much better. actually, i did better than i have on any test (real or practice) so far … which i think is pretty good considering i was completely nauseous and lightheaded half way through. i’d say that my completely screwed up sleep schedule is to blame. eh, i’m not too hard on myself … it’s summer afterall!

today has been a very frustrating day for me. it’s the second to the last day of summer school and my kids are going crazy, which, in turn, drove me crazy. it was the most frustrating day of the summer. i don’t know how tomorrow is going to be. hope it will be better. last day of summer school. FINALLY. I’m going to give myself tomorrow and friday off and then i’m going to start doing lsat prep tests again this weekend. this will be the first time since the took the test in june that i’ve even looked at an lsat problem.

i am trying to focus on the simples pleasures in life since i have gone through a rather turbulent time lately.

last night i bought a copy of the 7th and last season of the golden girls and started watching it with my friend. it was so fun! i love that show so much. it made me so happy to do that.

right now i’m deciding on whether i want to take another test prep class for the september lsat. i’ve taken 2 before but always ended up missing 25-30% or more of the class because of life issues. i wonder what it would be like to take the whole class. at the same time, most of the information will be redundant and it’s a lot of time and money to invest and i don’t know how much more it will raise my score. hmm, the more i think about it, the more i am leaning toward taking the full class. sigh. i wish the september administration of the test was tomorrow. i want to be done with this already.

i am also thinking about hiring an admissions consultant (maybe anna ivey) to help with my application and personal statement. maybe they will be able to give me good advice on what to do about retaking the lsat. i don’t know whether i should stress my refugee status and being homeless or my teaching experience more in my personal statement.

i am very disappointed in my lsat score. i spent half the day crying and being depressed. oh yeah, i broke up with my bf last week so things have been going just swell for me this week.
