Yeah, so...

Here we go again.

I've definitely been slacking on this here blog. I've been focusing on coaching (which makes me really happy) and having a good time because I know what's up next...lots and lots of studying. Again. 

Yeah, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped on the October LSAT. Weird thing is, I feel really good about it. My score isn't bad enough that law school is out of the question or anything, but I did so much worse than I'd been doing on my recent diagnostics and I freaked out timing-wise on two sections. I think a lot of that had to do with nerves that I believe won't be present during round 2. I already feel so much less anxious. I know what I have to do to be successful. Let's say I had felt "pretty good" about how I did and then I received the score I have now. I'd be devastated. But, since I knew I had a rough go of things (really rough - could/should have cancelled my score), I'm confident that after 5 weeks of studying I can easily do much better. 

I know that there are people reading this that are interested in this topic - what I did that worked, what didn't work, what I recommend...and I will tell you, but it will probably be via Steve's LSAT Diaries. I am working on a blog post for him. If he chooses to use it, I will share the link. If he chooses not to, I will post it here instead. 

Experience is the best teacher and I have learned a lot about myself through this process so far. Writing this blog post is quite cathartic, too. 

Weirdest thing about all of this: I'm actually excited to study again. I enjoy all of the logic and the analysis. This is a good thing, it means I'm on the right track. This career is likely the one that is right for me. 

So, here we go again...It's more prep tests for me! And, I will continue to work on my essays and applications. I will also continue blogging. It's good to vent, and it keeps me sharp. Writing is fun just for the sake of writing...when you're a nerd like myself. 

LIFE IS GOOD.

Especially since...

THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS GOING UP AT FASHION ISLAND!!! 

Pure bliss!
