LSAT and more

Hey guys, here is the requested post about the LSAT this last weekend. I am actually surprised at how calm I was before the test (Scott and Abbie might say different). I was definitely thinking about it before hand, but I didn't feel like I was psyching myself out or anything. Scott and I ended up being in the same classroom, which I thought was nice. Nice to have familiar company when the stakes are on the line. We were in a class of about 30 people and I have noticed that people preparing for and taking the LSAT just can't keep their mouths shut. In the 10 minutes before the test started when we were all waiting, they were all trying to be funny and be the class clowns. The company that makes up the LSAT and proctors it (LSAC) gives so many strict guidelines of things you can and can't bring into the test center and things you are allowed to do and things you are prohibited to do. This prompted one guy to say "Is there an LSAC approved trash can that I am allowed to puke in if I get too nervous." Scott and I both looked at each other and rolled our eyes (see, it's nice to have familiar faces around). There were some laughs and of course this prompted another male to try and one up the joke. What is it with us guys?

Anyways, test started at 9 a.m. and seemed to only go for an hour or two. But when it was all said and done, it was about 1:45 p.m. I also noticed that as the test went on, my sinuses got more and more tense and my neck was really sore and stiff and it was hard to move. Scott was complaining of blurry vision, which was disheartening to me since he was the one driving home. But we made it home alright and began our "debrief" with Abbie. Poor Abbie had to put up with two zombies for the rest of the day because neither Scott nor I wanted to talk about it or think about it. We were both hungry, but both too lazy to even eat. I was tired and wanted to take a nap, but couldn't really remember how one would take a nap. The rest of the afternoon was just a complete blur and, for me anyways, consisted of feeling good about the test and then feeling really worried about it. Once I took my nap I began to feel better about it and now 4 days after it, I feel about the same. Sometimes I feel good about what my score will be and other times I worry that I might have messed up in one section, or on one problem, etc. I try not to think too much about it and try to focus on the things that I should be worrying about right now. Anyways, hope that clears it all up for everyone.
