using LSAT PowerScore because 1) it's the cheapest, 2) the weekend course has the best dates that work for me, 3) it uses actual LSAT questions unlike many of the other LSAT prep courses....

PowerScore LSAT prep course for May 31-June 1 in Chicago.......

hope this helps. a lot.

if between my own studying and this course i raise my LSAT score by 5-10 points i will be THRILLED.

PLEASE.

updates

1. dr. maule said i wrote "amazing" papers both for my 7 pg seminar paper and the 30 page legal brief! yay me! it wasn't hard; just VERY time consuming.....

2. i have the most amazing boyfriend EVER. but i already knew that :)

3. i've revamped my lsat studies...concentrating mainly on reading comprehension which i'm rocking at! studying hardcore for the 2 arguments sections! then still studying but not focusing all my attention on games (as i will never do that great in this section and if i can do outstanding in the other 3 i should be absolutely great) (but don't get me wrong, i'm still studying for the games part!) the reading comprehension part though i feel amazing with; i did so well w/ the study problems i did last night!

4. i'm feeling more optimistic about my potential real lsat score. just continue to work hard.

5. and i'm ordering old lsats w/ the answers so i can practice HARDCORE!!

Hillary!!!

My boyfriend and I got to see Hillary Rodham Clinton today!!!

She is absolutely amazing!!!

.......................

the process of applying for law school (studying for the lsat, applications, personal statements, getting recommendation letters, addedums, housing, financial aid, etc) is going to take up the next 7 months of my life..........

yay.

Additionally.........

I finished my 30 page brief.....

And like I told my boyfriend, while I would prefer not to have homework or have a job where I have to work a lot of hours to have a good stable financial income......If I have to do it (which I do), then there is absolutely nothing else I would rather be doing than learning/working in the field of law! I really do love it!

I also picked up some books yesterday about "getting into law school". If you take the time to read them and really take in what they say (similar to lsat prep books), then they are really helpful. However, again, you have to take the time to thoroughly read them and take the messages that they're saying to have it be any help at all.

And, of course, my gorgeous boyfriend is back! After working a ton of hours last week and the rest of my time being devoted to working on my 30 page brief and of course missing my b/f like crazy, it was great to just relax w/ him and have a lot of fun this weekend...besides the whole me being the first one out second time in a row @ Risk :( lol!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Rodham Clinton is coming to Terre Haute THIS Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time/location details haven't been released yet, but you can bet I am going to do everything I can to go see her speak!!!!!!!!!!!

late night posting

It's Friday night, first night of spring break, my boyfriend left a little while ago :(, and i decided to take the night off and read law school blogs..oh how fun! it scares me. the constant reading, studying, people complaining they never have any time whatsoever, always working, no matter how hard the A students in high school and college work its just not good enough except for Cs and Bs, and how so many people dont make enough money to pay off their law school debts, and you name it. I know I can do it. If other people can, I certainly can. Additionally, I feel that law comes naturally to me. I understand it easily. Hopefully that will transfer over to law school and all my law school classes/assignments/readings/etc. It is nice though to thorougly prepare one's self for law school....it's scary....@ least I can imagine the worst and be pleasantly surprised and happy if it turns out to be a tiny bit better than absolutely horrible. I used to want to go to law school to save the world. Now I want to go for the prestigous, the money; and by money I realistically know I wont be making millions or probably even a couple hundered thousand...but I will be more than happy for a starting salary of 70000 to 120000.....if i could make anything starting @ 85 or up I would be absolutely thrilled! That's for a starting salary! Law school, preparing, financial aid, fafsa, studying, fitting time to do everything into my day, getting through college, getting through all these things to do on a daily basis....everything is always on my mind. @ least in law school i wont have a job to take up all my time. and my b/f future finace will want to go to sleep early too since he will have to get up early. i'll either have law school classes early or have to get up around that time to study etc so i wont have to do it @ night. there's just always so much on my mind. one of the reasons i started this blog...to get some of it out.

Arguments and the LSAT/my spring break

Last night before going out to the Real Hacienda (love vegetarian Mexican food!!) w/ my gorgeous boyfriend, I finally finished the Arguments section of the Princeton PLSAT! Yay! Tonight or tomorrow, I'm focusing on doing timed problems just in that area and then on to games :( Hopefully the study sessions for games helps A LOT. Because that's my worst area. I feel like the Arguments sessions really helped; I'm excited to take another LSAT and see how much/if any I've improved....I really think I have already.

This week is spring break and tonight my boyfriend is going home :( I have to work about 30 hrs next week, work on homework, study for the LSAT hardcore, and work on/finish a 30 pg paper for one of my classes. boo! however, my b/f will be back next Friday, if not earlier, so yay!

first post.....

I'm currently a 4th year senior @ ISU. I have one more year left here and then on my way to law school! I've started the proccesses of researching law schools, studying for the lsat (which I take this June), and just in general getting ready for the hard journey of law school. I'm very excited, very nervous....I've been reading various law school blogs from people in law school and hope my law school experience, while tough, is still good (unlike how it seems with many other people). These law schools blogs have help me prepare myself for the worst (constant studying, hard classes, once A students now thrilled with C's and B's); I want to document my law school journey from the very beginning (even though I've over a yr away). Hopefully my blog will enlighten future law school students and help prepare them, the way I feel other law school blogs have helped me.
