Dec. 6 LSAT

By: threatnasty
Published: Dec 3rd, 2008
So, after I graduated from UGA in May, I decided that instead of getting my Masters in Accounting and pursuing that field, that I wanted to go to law school. I decided to establish residency in GA (b/c it will save me about 20k a year in tuition) and to take time to myself to prepare for the LSAT. I would support myself by playing poker. This was the first time in my life that I have actually been able to devote alot of time to grinding mtt's. I used to play a few per week, mainly on sundays, and I was always really upset that my results were inferior to my capabilities. Well, I certainly have had some better results since beginning to put in higher volume (probably some time around August).

Sounds good? The problem is that I have not been studying for the LSAT, which is this Saturday, and through my futile attempts to increase my score by taking a couple practice sections this week, I've realized that I simply have no brain endurance. I am in godmode on the first section I take, and I can't even finish reading the prompts by the end of the last. You'd think that 14 hour Sundays would give you the brain power necessary to crush a 4 hour test that consists of logical reasoning, reading comp, and logic games. The difficulty of material is not the issue; my laziness, the peril.

Hopefully I can get my 165 and move on to UGA law, but what will the future hold for me? I won my seat to PCA this fall whilst I was "studying" for the lsat. I fully intend to win $2M+ for my efforts in early January. How will I ever put in the volume required to crush mtt's during law school? Maybe I need to tour the world during the spring and summer before I start? Why is life getting so complicated?!
