Music: Ben Folds - Still
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First of two entries tonight. This one's gonna be a "my life" roundup, so bear with me.

Good news and bad news. I had another practice LSAT test today. I've been studying my ass off, so I was pretty confident about my score going up. I had it all together before the break between the third and fourth sections. I was confident and focused, but it's the fourth and fifth sections that really count, because you know both of them will be scored (usually, the unscored experimental section is hidden amongst the first three)

Section four: Logic games. My Achilles Heal. I ended up leaving an entire game blank, but what I did, I was pretty sure I did well. I was stocked for the fifth section, Logical Reasoning. This has been my bread and butter since the first time I took the LSAT. I'm about three questions in when it starts...

Apparently the people in the classroom next to ours were having a great time...because we heard every yelled word of their conversation and their hysterical laughter. This went on for about 30 minutes of the 35 minute section. All of us taking the test were distraught. We couldn't leave the room to yell at them, but it was impossible to concentrate. I thought the one girl was going to cry. It took me twice as long to read the questions, but I just couldn't hear myself think.

So...After all of my hard work and practice...I got the same exact grade as my first diagnostic test. The thing is, I showed improvement in every other section, but not being able to concentrate on that last section KILLED my score. Sure, that won't be a problem on the day of the real LSAT, but it still ticks me off that I have absolutely nothing to show for my work so far.

Grrr...
