So I’ve been doing well on my little budget. I’ve even paid 3 months ahead on my car (gotta love it). When I go shopping now I stick to what’s on the list. Nothing more than what’s on the list. I’ve stopped eating out so much and I’m careful of not wasting gas.

I started a vacation account at the bank and I have set goals for a shopping trip in July, going to see The Color Purple in September (already have the tickets) and a long weekend in Napa for my birthday (I think). I’ve set my financial goals for my new furniture and appliances.

Friday was treat day but I decided to wait and treat myself to little things throughout the week instead of going shopping for everything on Friday. Remember….I stick to the list. The treat list consisted of a pair of jeans, a new tote, and blouse to wear with my navy and white pencil skirt. So off to TJ Maxx I went today at lunch. I saw some jeans and a blouse there that I really liked and wanted to try on. I took a girlfriend with me. I came out of the dressing room and she had four handbags in her arms. I asked if any were for me and she gave me the “touch my purses and I’ll cut yo ass” look. Then she helped me pick out some. By the way, the jeans didn’t fit. They were too low for my taste.

We left with 7 purses total. I had three and she had four. Not on the list right? Well that’s fixable. I pulled out my weekend grocery list and made some alterations to it. I really don’t need any chives or any ground turkey or any pasta or any heavy cream or any sourdough bread. All that’s bad for my diet any damn way right? I’m good with fish and veggies. I don’t need any shrimp or crab this week. Hey…I’m only one person. There are only so many groceries I can eat at one time right?

Who needs groceries when you’re fly as hell!

What Exactly is On the LSAT?

Diva in Demand

The LSAT is made up of five 35-minute multiple choice sections and one 30 minute essay. Two of the five multiple choice sections will be Arguments, one will be Games, and one will be Reading Comprehension. The remaining section will be an experimental section, which will not count toward your score.

Got it?

Good.

The Structure of the Games section

You will be given four logic games ina 35 minute section. Each game will have a setup and a set of conditions or clues that are attached to it. Then five to seven question will ask you about various possible arrangements of the elements in the game.

Got it?

Good.

Why does any of this matter you ask? Cause the GAMES section of this study guide is KICKING MY ASS! I feel like an utter and complete idiot! Each game is best worked by drawing some sort of chart/diagram/or picture. Those that require a traditional type of grid…..I suck at. Those that require outside the box thinking, like determining how many offices on a hallway are decorated using one of three styles of furniture….I’m excelling at. This is my trouble area. I have gotten all of the arguments and reading comprehension questions correct on 2 sample tests. I’m running abouta 50% rate on games though.

Well I’ve come up with a plan. There are approximately 20 – 30 questions in this one section. My ideal goal would be to only miss no more than 17 questions total. So if I focus on being perfect at the other two sections then I can afford to miss a bigger portion on the games.

That’s my plan.

Back to studying.
