Small Gainz-- I'm coming for you, June LSAT!

Good evening beautiful people,

There is hope. I'm merely here to reiterate that.

Let me start off by saying: I am so tired. I've been in meetings and sitting all day, and didn't make it home until 6 pm. After making myself dinner, I opted to drill an old (and when I say old, I mean PT 11) LR section, even though I felt mentally drained.

Since I have not yet completed all of the LR modules in the CC, I didn't time myself - I'm ensuring that I'm able to give a logical reason for each answer choice I pick, on every question. Due to this, it took me an entire hour to finish just a SINGLE section. I blind reviewed the single question I had circled, and proceeded to grade the section.

Y'all-- I only missed 3 questions. ONLY 3!

Sure, it was an untimed section that took me 60 minutes to complete, but for me-- it's an improvement! Three months ago, before I started the CC on 7sage, I would miss anywhere from 9-11 questions on an untimed LR section, and it would take me even longer! I'm so enthused! Seriously!

Working full-time and working towards my law school dream has been mentally challenging, but today I feel so accomplished.

To everyone, and specially to those 7sagers working full-time: don't give up. Be resilient. Be brave!

It's so tough to study after a long work day, and the most arduous aspect of all of this may not even be your work schedule--but the people at work, or the tight deadlines. There are so many factors that affect our well-being, and even our ability to come home and be able to keep practicing and studying.

I love this community, I hope to be able to keep sharing my successes, and to share your successes as well.

I'm treating myself to the gym now. I need it! Sorry if my post doesn't make sense. I'm tired-- have I said that?

:D

    Good job! It seems like we're in a similar phase of the study process so maybe we could talk more and maybe study together.

    Good stuff. Going -3 is a serious indicator that you're improving a ton. Keep it up!

    I feel you on the long work days leaving you feeling drained. I've actually begun to look forward to my studying after work because of this community. I never feel like I'm alone and it helps me more than I could ever express. Exercise and taking nights off as needed are also a must.

    Enjoy the gym. You've earned it :)

    Thanks! :) of course! Where are you in the CC? As for me, I’m currently on principle questions and have drilled about 15 LR sections, all from the 90s.

    I agree. There are definitely night where I just need to run, and perhaps watch some Netflix!

    Thanks for your encouragement, Alex! You’re always so nice- a great example of this amazing community.

    Working from the older test problems as well. Latest lessons are Cause Weakeners and Strengtheners and it looks like I'm about 25% done with the CC.
