Suspiciously Absent

So its been awhile. I've realized that with the addition of my new job, I'd conveniently wiped every trace of the LSAT from my mind for the past month and a half. Turns out, the stress of studying for the LSAT is NOTHING compared to the stress of this new job. I've been so consumed by it, that I've been entirely oblivious to the fact that December 3rd was creeping up in the rearview.

I took some practice exam questions last night to see the extent to which my LSAT skills have rusted, and to my surprise: I'm in fairly good shape! I wonder if I shoud've just taken the test in October instead of psyching myself out. If I was going to be ignoring the LSAT anyway, I could've just have easily spent the time ignoring the stress of waiting for my LSAT scores to come in. Ah well. I didn't feel that I was ready. Of course I'm still gonna need to put in some time to bring up my scores higher than what I was middling in September. I'm also going to have to put in those requests for references soon huh?

Time to decide CE! ...Is it now, or is it waiting another year to apply?!
