My parents' first date was Friday the 13th. The universe is taking you on an exciting ride, Nicky. Your brave for entertaining it, and you will be a richer person for it.
Matt got new vitamins!
I'm not going to do very well on the LSAT and have been borderline nervous breakdowning for the last 2 weeks. Its June 16. And it makes me want to cry. I don't know what to do if I'm not smart enough to be a lawyer.
Aw babe! You're probably going to do better than you think, and if you don't, you can try again.
Nerves are definitely more of an issue than intelligence. You have always been, and continue to be, my crazy, witty, bright Tokar.
I suggest studying, followed by LUSH bath melt, followed by more studying. And get Erin to be your study tutor, she's amazing. (Remember when Erin stayed up all night to help me pass Art History?)
I love you and it'll be ok. Whatever happens. (I mean, Matt got new vitamins! It's a sign.)
I can't imagine you not passing. I think you'd be able to convince them that you knew what you were talking about, even if you didn't, which means that you DO have what it takes to be a lawyer. I mean, I would hire you to represent me as you are now, degree free. For any type of conundrum. But, if you are really not ready, can you postpone it?
Thanks guys! I'm just finding this to be much more stressful than I would have thought and I'm surrounded by overachievers. At my firm everyone has achieved top scores and is now talking about it all the time bc they know I'm taking it soon. I feel like I need to be de-worming orphans in somalia and single-handedly organizing the march for lesbians against drunk driving and scoring a 179. I can postpone until the fall, but I just paid $1200 for a class (which was largely a waste of time) that is preparing me for the June test. (its usually recommended to take the class right before the test). And taking the class again costs another $500. And would involve leaving early twice a week to attend 4 hr long classes after work for another 3 months starting in August. The questions I'm getting wrong too are all ones where, when I look at the answer, I still feel like my answer is defensible and perhaps superior. Its just a bizzare mindfuck test. I have a week, I'm just going to take it and (worst case scenario) cancel my score if I panic and its a wash. Bah. Off to the books.
Erica, You will be fine...you will do more than pass. You could talk your way out of a brown paper bag! Remeber when we took the practice test so we could make fifty bucks? Didn't you do well on that. I say: Take the June test because if you don't you will be stressing yourself out more for the fall. you can always cancel your scores and it will give you good practice and it will be done with sooner meaning less stress all around. Hooray for new vitamins and boyfriends in the DC apartment!
and yet again, it comes back to haunt us... "who really needs the cigar?" only in this case, you kinda do. damn our life philosophy for not standing up to the lsat.
fortunately...we also have a history of brilliance in the face of inanity (might i also reference art history and our final results in that class? similarly, the night of espionage).
'nuf said.
and while i do not suggest throwing noodles in the midst of the test (although if you need a diversion...i got your back, yo), my point is that you obviously have what it takes to be a lawyer (since i'm pretty certain the ramen was your idea - and really ideas people are what the legal profession really needs). don't let some stupid test stop you.
and if it does, somolian orphans don't require a jurice doctor, i'm almost 99% sure.
