LSAT...

Sometimes, while I am laying bed at night, I dream about Monday June 11th. I dream about rolling up to Western State University College of Law taking the test that may very well determine a significant portion of my professional career. I can imagine a 168 and going to Notre Dame or perhaps Boston College. I can think about loving this three-year boot camp studying international and environmental law. I can daydream about being quite successful at this profession, traveling around the world playing a part to defend the earth and the oppressed. But the only problem is taking this damn test.

I have been studying for a couple weeks now since the beginning of the quarter (late March), and while I am learning how to dissect logic games and analyze parallel reasoning questions, I feel that the learning curve it still pretty high. It is after study sessions like the one tonight that I can also imagine that I might pull a 140. Needless to say, that simply will not do. To say the least, I am pretty nervous about the LSAT. I just wish that I could call them and tell ND and BC that I am a good guy, maybe pass the phone over to Holly and have her corroborate said testimony and that would be that. Ya, that would be nice. Then I could go about my day (and my quarter for that matter) and stop worrying about "if/then" causation and logical flaws.

And yet.... That's not how it works. There is only one way out of this predicament.

"Okay she-bitch, lets play."

"Bitch stole my line!"

You're gonna kick the crap out of the LSAT. And in the long run, I'm not sure how effective it would be to have an irate girlfriend call the ND Admissions office. Could result in restraining orders and destroyed lives.

Don't worry buddy, you'll be fine. You're too smart and work too hard to do a bad job on it. There's still a lot of time, too. A 140 now could very easily become a 170 by June.

Besides, it's gotta happen. I have a Captain Planet shirt with your name all over it.

LSAT, you are going to be a funny little footnote on Ryan's epic ass...

Sean said...

wow buddy, according to erin, you have an epic ass.

i think the question now i whether or not holly should be worried...and also, if she's noticed your epic ass, why hasn't she also noticed the tibs? if there's anything to notice, it's the 2'-long tibias.

by "i" in the beginning of the second graph, i'm pretty sure i meant "is."

just thought i'd clear that up.

You need to tell the world the truth, Ryan.
