Changing Gears
Tuesday, May 31, 2005
Only a week left before the LSAT... it's a little daunting, especially considering how seriously LSAC administers the test (there's apparently ~30 minutes of registration/bureaucratic crap you have to go through before you touch the test). Based on practice LSATs, my marks have ranged from around the 70th percentile to about the 90th percentile, so consistency (in the higher end) is key.
The 2 Logical Reasoning sections are the easiest to score consistently on: they're broken up into ~25 individual questions, so if there's a question that's taking too much time, you just skip it and try to come back to it later (its only one mark after all). Reading Comprehension and Logic Games are more in the air, as they're both composed of 4 major sections, so sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not. I think the most important thing is to stay calm and go through the test without looking back - all of the questions are perfectly manageable, it's just a matter of time management.
Anyway, I'll be glad when that's over on the 6th... then I can focus on other parts of my summer:
- Work: My major project right now is to research about the fast-track (rule 66) procedures that are being fine-tuned in the Supreme Court of Canada. I think this will be really interesting and useful - it will probably become more of the norm over the next few years.
- Summer School: I finally get to take the course on Int'l Security... hopefully my term paper on the Ballistic Missile Defense will come in handy during this course.
- Devotions: I've been meaning to spend more time on my devotional life... I'm going to the Campus Crusade bible studies @ UBC, but that's not enough... I need to buy a good book and work on my daily commitments.
- Find a gym or something?: Not surprisingly, I don't exactly have a very disciplined exercise schedule right now. I haven't even been playing that much badminton lately... so I dunno, I gotta find a way to go get more exercise in the week :p
This will be the only time I can spend in Calgary this whole summer, so I'd better make good use of it, huh? Actually I know everyone's busy with work and school, and I have to catch up on reading and research as well, but I'm sure we'll be able to meet once or twice to hang out ( btw meeting me at the airport does NOT count... I still feel bad for those japanese women who were greeted by a bunch of flames players waving around 'marry me' signs ). Heh, either way it'll be good to see everybody again - too bad the big 'E' defected to the east hehehe.
That's enough blogging for today... I'm not gonna touch this thing until I finish off that LSAT!

Hehe, well, I didn't realize that I was now a gangsta ("Big E"??) nor that I had "defected", lol. C'mon, I'm *infiltrating*! The only way to effect change is from the inside...
Haha sorry to blow your cover :p
Btw, I can't comment on ur blogger for some reason... it always just resets to the main page ?
Thanks for the heads-up on my broken blogger - stupid stray html tags, lol.
Good luck on LSAT ol' boy!
(Somehow, that sounds like something a lawyer would say.)
Hi Charuzu. I've joined this site ('badminton raquet') to get some advice on buying a badminton raquet. Do you know of any other badminton raquet related sites where I could get advice? Many thanks.
