Day Two

August 28, 2018

6:00PM

I honestly cannot find the motivation to get everything I want done I get held up in the organization aspect.

Taking a class or getting a tutor for my LSAT study is to expensive for me. Which leads me here... 

I have bought all of the Powerscore books, all of the previous LSAT official exams, I also have an old version of the LSAT Trainer (which I’m not sure if I want to use bc I’m not sure how relevant it is), Logic games blueprint book, and the the official LSAT super set II.

My plan for this week:

1. Find out how long it takes me to read through certain chapters/pages

2. My studying will include:  A. Note taking B. Reviewing terms C. Drills D. Practice testing F. Reviewing my mistakes on practice tests

3. I’m hoping to study 24 to 26 hours a week, broken down by 7 days thats about 4 hours a day and if it is only 5 days a week it is a little over 5 hours a day. After a couple of weeks I will decide how many hours a day work best for me & what I need to change up in my routine.

Job Hunting

I hate this crap.  Writing cover letters and shouting into the void.  And half the time I have to call the firm’s secretary because there is nobody listed as the recipient or contact person in the job listing.  I’m trying to do 3-7 per day, with a tailored cover letter for each, but so far the only response was “Please resubmit your application through ‘x portal’ instead of a direct email to the recruitment officer.” (Though I am grateful they told me to reapply, instead of just dismissing my application.)

Here’s to the weekend being only one day away!

I had a job lined up for after the bar but then some b.s. happened (hiring freeze) and now I’m starting the whole process of trying to find a job and being told to wait until the bar results come out by so many recruiters. 

If you get a job, get everything in writing that your position won’t be terminated y’all.

Really organizing my thoughts for a realistic LSAT study schedule, the anxiety of failing at it has put me off from touching my material - but now it’s time get things going.

PAY YOUR INTERNS

getting “paid in experience” doesn’t mean anything in a 10 week full-time internship where you will get 400 free hours of labor out of me, while I am unable to pay my rent, and other necessary bills. the gas company will not let me tell them about my experiences working for you in exchange for free heating
