Chiming in to say you are not alone, full-time working NYers! I feel your pain. I work 50-60 hrs. per week in Manhattan and am lucky to not even have a bad commute (~30 minutes each way). What @ says about not having the mental capacity after a long workday is so true. I get home at 6:30pm (8:00 if I hit the gym right after work, which has been my best solution to working out). I will say that I notice a sharp decline in my mental acuity when I decrease my workouts so I have found that even if I have slightly less time to devote to LSAT prep per week as a result, the time I do have is far more productive. In other words, it all seems to balance out and I feel so much better when I stay active that I'm going to keep moving forward on my current track and hope for the best.

After the holidays it is! That will be better for me in all honesty; this weekend I am preparing for a trip out of town and need Saturday to run errands. I look forward to getting started! Let's touch base after the new year; I like the Starbucks (the Sheridan Square one, I am guessing?) and NYPL ideas for location. Does the Jefferson Market Library allow for group/collaborative study in terms of noise?

Awesome! Let's do this. How do we feel about this coming Saturday? Then we could skip 12/24 and 12/31 for the holidays and resume the following weekend.

What are everyone's goals in terms of what they would like to cover?

Also, does anyone have ideas for a place to meet, i.e. a Caffe Bene or something? Or maybe if anyone has access to group study space at NYU or another university that could be a good option.

I'm going to agree with weekends (mainly because I work full time during the day). I'm on the west side but could trek a little if needed. How do you all feel about the village or midtown in order to make it easier for folks on the west/east side?

I might be interested! Any input on neighborhood?
