Blind Prophecy

I think yesterday’s LSAT went well. It was a grueling 6 hours, but if I missed any questions it’s from misreading a detail rather than a complete failure to understand what they were driving at. I even finished the logic games with enough time to double check some previous answers where I made educated guesses because I was concerned about time. Although there’s no way I can be 100% sure, I think I know which section was the experimental (non-scored) one. I hope I’m right, because I’m a little more confident about the other section. At any rate, I feel like I scored a 170 or better… but I won’t know until sometime around July 7.

The test itself was crazy. They divided test-takers into a couple of rooms and I got stuck with Super-Proctor, the guy who was running around making sure everything was okay in all the rooms prior to the start of the test, and an old man who seemed easily confused. As a result, I’m pretty sure my room was the last one to get started. They didn’t finish checking everyone in until after 1 and then took forever to actually start walking us through the opening stuff. I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as it seemed at the time. When they tell you to be there no later than 12:30 (and plenty of us arrived at 11:30), then keep you waiting in suspense until almost 2, it’s a little intense.

I brought in glitter-covered pencils for the test (which I tested before hand and found to be very easily sharpened, had great erasers, and the lead didn’t break often) and as I was setting up, one of the other test-takers noticed them. He asked if I wanted to borrow one of his pencils instead, and I replied (in my queeniest voice) “How do you expect me to sparkle without my glitter?”

Anyway, after it was all over, I met up with David and his friend, Megan, and Jesse at The Red Door in downtown SLC where I had many martinis. We ended up eating dinner at an Italian restaurant after finding the Thai place we wanted closed for the night. It was great seeing my friends and there was a lot of laughter and great conversation to help me unwind.

In a few minutes, I’m taking the rugrats to see Kung Fu Panda along with plenty of adult supervision (Grandma, Jasmine, Jeanne and Jordan).

One last thought: I’ve been listening to In The Heights- winner of the best new musical Tony award – for the last couple of days and while I wasn’t originally very impressed, it has definitely grown on me. I’m glad it won, even though it beat out Xanadu. On the other hand, I’ve never cared for South Pacific, so I’m skeptical of all the awards it took home.
