The LSAT

Sorry it has been forever since I posted... again... but I just wanted to post a quick message to let everyone know that I FINALLY took the LSAT today! I waited a little to long to register for my test (because I was trying to decide if I was going to take it here or if I was going to try to make it to Louisiana for my little brother's art show and take it there) so by the time I registered, all the DFW testing sites were full so I had to register for a test at Texas A&M-Commerce which meant I had a small road trip to get to my testing site. Nick was nice enough to drive me out there on Friday night and we spent the night at a hotel in a town that literally has nothing more than a Wal-Mart, McDonald's and Pizza Hut. The lady at the front desk informed me that of the 300 rooms at the hotel, all but 5 were booked with people taking the LSAT! She said they had driven from Houston, Austin, Dallas and more because they missed their test registration at their local centers (so I wasn't the only one!).

So, we got there about 10pm on Friday and went straight to the hotel to try to go to bed at a decent hour. Unfortunately, my mind was reeling so I don't think I went to bed until close to midnight only to wake up at 5am unable to sleep any longer. So, we crawled out of bed, got ready and made our way to... you guessed it... McDonald's. After a "well rounded" breakfast and a couple of vitamins, Nick dropped me off at the test site and I entered a room where I would spend the next 5 hours.
















Here I am walking into the test!!



The good news?? I fell pretty confident about how I did... The scary part??? I have felt pretty good in the past on practice tests and didn't do any better than "median". Of course, the logical side of me says that "median" is still good enough with my GPA. But since most of you know me, you know that I just don't feel great settling for median. So, just so you all know, I will not know the results until January 5th. And yes, I PROMISE to post immediately... even if it is just one sentence!

Okay, my computer (and brain) battery is dying... so I am cutting this short. I will TRY to write slightly more frequently. :) Thanks for all the support!
