LSAT practice

This is going to be posted at the same time as the other post about Monday but that's fine. I studied today before my class and now I'm back at it after class and dinner. Class was a but rough, but I did feel that I got the jist of what he was saying. He did however make a few sweeping claims that neither I nor the Brtis were fond of regarding our respective countries. He said that all the presidents of the last 60 years went to ivy league schools which I didn't think was factual. He also claimed that since the 20s all the prime ministers came out of either oxford or Cambridge. If I had Internet I'd check those stats but for now I just hold my disbelief.

LSAT is tough but I feel I'm getting better with the logic games. I have done questions from one practice test I've got on Winston (my computer) and then a section an a half at this point from one of the books.

Honest, the reason I'm writing this is because there was a line (a toast more or less) in a song I just listened to by Jay-Z (the song included an extended sample from Forever Young) that said "May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows" I just loved that line. And I felt like sharing it with all of you.

    That's a positive outlook indeed. And you have remained amazingly positive in light of the little difficulties that have been laid at your feet. (The operative term here is "little".) You're making progress; it sounds like Internet is in place. Now if the ATM hadn't eaten your card....

    This has been a rich month. There is so much going on in Indianapolis that I wish I were two people. Monday was budget night at the Council. Tuesday and Wednesday were Indy Jazz Fest at The Jazz Kitchen and tomorrow 5:30 p.m. is Hazel time. (You should be grateful to Patrick and Carrie because they have removed any pressure to have grandchildren.) Friday is Indiana Equality. Saturday is the Symphony Opening Gala and Sunday is a reception following a Steven Stolen concert.

    I was glad to hear some feedback on your classes. The language will be a challenge but it sounds like you're making headway. You're living the experience that you have seen played out in our household a hundred times. New students arrive, struggle and adapt. I never achieved the fluency in Punjabi that you have achieved in French. But I was functional. And what I learned was that learning the language opened the door to understanding the culture.

    My battery is going. Good night.
