Kwik Update: Latest practice LSAT score: 168. Good, but no 'Holy Grail' of 170+ good. But, WTH, I got 10 outta 27 reading comp questions wrong (wtf) (btw, I got 7 wrong in ALL MY OTHER SECTIONS COMBINED). The sections were really hard, but still. Getting those points woulda gave me a ridonkulous score.
Let's hope I can pull it together for Saturday.

Crap, crap, crap. I got really sick last week and basically did nothing.
In other news, LSAT THIS SATURDAY!!! (death) So, please please please leave me alone if at all possible. I keep scoring around 166~ and I need to score around 170 to be irresistible to law schools and have that future thing that people keep talking about. Also, I keep making stupid mistakes in my logical reasoning sections, whereas I can pretty much perfectly do the logic games section and the reading section is finally clicking with me. ARGH.
If you have any tips, do let me know plz.

I promised I'd write, and so I will. I've always hated blogs, because I hate talking about myself at lengths. Furthermore, when forced to do so, I agonize about every noun/adjective/verb choice to the point where I would have better served to just have kept it all to myself. But, alas, I will break through these self-imposed barriers and attempt to say moderately interesting things for my own good. Well, now that I've got introductions out of the way, what is there to say?
What I am enjoying about this semester:
-The fencing newbies are decidedly fun. Funner than expected.
-The video game system wars are in full swing, and no matter what happens, I win.
-I feel like I'm learning Japanese. (Gee, thanks Murakami-san.)
-I've met some genuinely interesting people.
-Good, new music.
-Getting done with both majors.
-Possible job with Microsoft? Possibly at a Japanese branch? (Dammit, stop dangling that fruit which is ripe for the picking!)
What I am not enjoying about this semester:
-People are letting me down left and right.
-Applications are due, and I am seriously boned when it comes to recommendations.
-No time - ever.
-Japanese and Korean are doing a one-two punch combo to my grades and sanity.
-Natalie wa inai.
-Bro has gone to Europe.
-I haven't seen enough of the people I will miss greatly after I graduate.
That said, a high point of this semester has been new music. David (the music guru that he is) had told me about the Decemberists, but (as always) I waited about 3 months before I convinced myself that I discovered them on my own. Now, as the leaves fall and the weather becomes whack-tacular, the Decemberists tend to know exactly what to say - I highly recommend them. They're just the correct amount of indie-pop-rock with spiffy lyrics. With accordians! What more could you ask for? Nothing, says I.
(insert transition here)
So, ya. The weather is changing. Although this is my 4th year at UVA, I am still amazed when it happens. I find that walking to class and seeing the foiliage being scattered in the wind still holds much aesthetic power for me - it's weird. Despite all the ups and downs cville and I've had, I've come to really love this town as a home. But, before I know it, I'll be outta here and off to something new...Belize does seem like a world away now too.
Gah, I need to decide where I want to be.
