Got the email from GW and not in yet. They deferred my decision until Mid-February.

And got a rejection from OSU a few days ago. But as a few friends of mine said: "friends don't let friends go to OSU". *shakes head at the PSU and UofM folks*

BUT

I AM GOING TO LAW SCHOOL!

New England Law called me this afternoon, saying that my acceptance packet is in the mail! So at this point (as Judge Baxter said) everything else is just gravy. I'm going SOMEWHERE next year. New England is right outside Harvard, so I'll hopefully step up to there after 1L.

Came home to a phone message from Duquesne, which I'm assuming is also an acceptance (as, why else would they call?)

So, that makes the current count 2-1-1 (with needing to hear from 8 more schools. 9 counting GW)

*SQUEEEEEE!*

Well, assuming the pattern from the June LSAT holds true, I'll have my score by about 3pm-ish tomorrow. Otherwise, the official score release day is Monday. If I have to wait until Monday, I'll go bonkers.

But at the same time -- I don't want my score. I'm afraid I did worse given the bronchitis. And yeah -- I want them and I don't.

*sigh*

Damned if I do... and damned if I don't. Why does what law school you get into have to do SO much with how you scored on a standardized test? I have a 3.6 GPA. I'm not stupid. I just don't test well.

Bah. Is it Friday yet?

1. Drama (of the game wankage variety) sucks. You lot know me and that I am probably the nicest, most diplomatic person ever. Let's just say I was so pissed off yesterday that even *I* couldn't write a diplomatic email telling said person off. *sigh* God I miss AAH. I really, really do.

2. Yes, I just ordered this. After hemming and hawing all day, I gave in and bought it.

3. I'm down (according to H&M and their pretty stretchy skirt) a size 14!! Still a tiny bit tight, but I'm feeling very good about myself. I'm ALMOST down 20 pounds since the beginning of May. Weight Watchers and Wii Fit FTW!

4. *squee!* hp_summersmut starts posting tomorrow -- er... in about 15 minutes!!! I really should figure out a posting order, shouldn't I. There's some really, really amazing stuff in this round. I think you guys will really enjoy it.

5. Went to an LSAT meeting this evening and am back to feeling good about stuff again. I shall overcome you, you damned 154!!

♥ How are you guys doing?

Apparently, according to TLS, scores are out. My mother is trying to convince me that they're not out and this is just a bunch of people fucking with us. And she also doesn't get why I'd post my score online when I get them.

Thus far... I have nothing.

Oh god, I'm ready to throw up.


ETA: I got my score. Don't expect to see me tonight. I'm drinking heavily. I'm a fucking failure and I'm retaking in October.

♥

Well, I survived. Barely, but I survived.

Thanks for all the hugs and well wishes. I think they really did help. I'm honestly not sure how I did. Leaving the test centre I was so insanely disappointed. Three months of studying and the test nicely kicked my ass. I think my first section ended up being the experimental (having three Logic Reasoning sections is nothing short of cruel and unusual punishment). The Logic Games totally killed me. One of the games had six entities and THREE were floaters. One of the others was worded strangely and a third had a vertical setup which, after spending a few days at TLS hasn't been used on the LSAT since the mid 1990s.

One consolation prize: hearing a girl just before entering the room say 'man. I just took my first practice test a couple days ago. Man is it hard!'

Realistically, I'm hoping for a -10 to -12 curve (aka -- you can miss 10 and still get a 170) and will end up with a 168. But at this point? I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up in the upper 150s (which makes me not at ALL happy) and will end up retaking the exam in October. Joy.

Once the scores are released, I'll have more indepth coverage of the LSATs. As of right now... I'm trying to relax and get my life back to some semblance of normalcy.

♥ I hope everyone has had a good week!

This also means I start working on my TR app, right?

Well, here we are. The home stretch. The LSATs are officially in a week and I'm finding myself oscillating between scared shitless and 'it is what it is'. I know I'm at the point where there's little I can do to change anything and I know all the theory and what I need. I have to finish test 4 today and I'll have completed everything that Kaplan requires. So if I totally bomb, I can re-take. Which is a good, good safety net to have.

Just give me Elle's score. I'll be happy.

Soon my self-proclaimed hiatus will be over. On the 16th, I'm planning on getting rather tipsy. And once those are over, we return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

including fic writing, the muse I just acquired for theatrical_muse and... working on my application for TR *shifty*

Thanks guys for all your well wishes! I will get to replying to comments, it's just been a busy week! Still getting used to the change in work schedule which, yay more hours but boo as it takes away my evening time. Ah well. Such is life.

Still not sure if I'm going to send in my resume to audition of not. I mean, it's SUCH a thrill to be invited to audition but at the same time? I haven't been playing as much as I had in the past and I don't know if I can actually pull it together before the 3rd, especially considering I'm studying for the LSATs too, and frankly, that's more important to me right now. So... we'll see. In happier news, after only 5 of my class sessions I managed to boost my score up to a 150. Booyah.

*points to icon* Extremely depressing what her scores were. *mutters darkly*

Two bits of Fandom News:
1. I'm reccing for crack_broom this month, Remus/Bill. I already have a couple of ideas of what to rec, but if you guys have a favourite fic or piece of art, shout it out!

2. Am doing LMoM this year. I must be insane. But... I think it'll help my brain get off the insane plot kick it's on lately. Now, just so long as all my fics for this aren't 6k a day, we'll be set. I have a really neat overarching plot idea. HOWEVER. I want input from you guys. I want to do 31 different pairings/permeations. Thus, Remus/Lily, Remus/Lily/James and Remus/Lily/Sirius are three different pairings. So -- suggest! And if you run out of room, comments are brilliant too. :D

[Poll #1180815]

*waves to all*

Sorry about the radio silence last week. I just now realised I never actually posted. *headdesk* In any case, life is good post-station work. I'm STILL waiting to hear back from the county about the damn job at the courthouse. Me and patience do NOT get along well, and thus far I've been patient for over 2 months. The patience, it's running out precious.

In other news -- Springsmut is finished, sent in and all that jazz. So glad to have that out of the way. *ignores looming deadlines of slashfest and snarry_games at present*

Otherwise -- just have been busy. Took my first LSAT on saturday and I think it went half-way decently. Still hate the logic reasoning but logic games are currently my friend. That is, assuming I did as well on them as I thought I did... :/ Hoping I'm somewhere in the 160-165 range to start. That way, if what they say is true, I should gain a 10 point bump with studying. And that would give me my 175ish score... and hello Georgetown! (hopefully...)

I haven't had a chance to read ye olde flist this past week. I had my nose buried in avengangle's LSAT 180 book. How was your week guys?

Challenge for you: tell me one good and one bad thing that happened last week. And if nothing bad happened, share all the good! ♥
