there is a light at the end of the tunnel
I’ve been lurk-watching the boards for the last few months—no longer really participating at all, but still keeping track of what’s being posted. But I think I’m going to have to stop even that, at least for now. The cycle is coming back around, you see.
The newest posts now are inevitably about studying for the LSAT, dealing with LSAC (or figuring out their not-that-arcane grade-normalizing procedure), and other details of interest to the folks about to enter the admissions process.
Maybe after school starts I’ll be able to look at some of those posts, but right now these issues interest me not one little bit. First, I never want to think about the LSAT again, much less proffer advice on how to study for it, or how to diagram a given game. Urk. No thanks. And the LSAC? My experience with them was pretty pain-free but I still feel an anxious twinge remembering some of the horror stories I heard last fall.
I guess I’m passing through that pre-law stage. Well, that’s not a guess, that’s a fact; what I mean is that I don’t really feel “pre-law” anymore. I keep looking at the countdown and realizing that school isn’t that far away. I’m feeling more and more like a student. I’m almost out of limbo and I don’t really want to revisit the uncertainty and angst that permeated last fall for me. So no more boards for me, at least not for the rest of the summer.

Oh, you are so lucky! I’m still lurking about in a pathetic effort to WILL the waitlist to start moving at my school of choice. Cannot WAIT until the day I don’t have to look at LSD or LSN anymore (except to update LSN to WL, Accepted!!)
However, in an attempt at fostering an ‘if you build it, it will come’ mentality, I AM reading the boards for law school prep ideas…at least if I read Law School Confidential etc., it will keep me off the boards for awhile
How about hitting up the student side of the board? Especially the school specific board, if anyone has posted in your’s.
Good for you! My decision to quit reading those boards was one of the best I’ve made in a long time
I doubt you’ll be sorry!
