The beginning of an era...

Or so it seems.
 
I visit this website called Top Law Schools (http://www.top-law-schools.com/) in which the members on its forum post valuable advice and guides to doing well on the LSAT, as well as in the future when I enter law school. I can honestly say that this place is the best find in my academic career. The people on the forums are extremely helpful, and while I don't generate discussion, I can sift through all their posts over the years and gain valuable insight in how they went about their tests.

The three prep books they recommend to students studying the LSAT are Powerscore LGB and LRB, and The Official LSAT SuperPrep. I can't wait for these to arrive. I'm still working on final projects for my last semester at my undergraduate school, so I can't do any heavy duty studying until I graduate, which will be this May, but I can still flip through them just to see what will be in store for me during the summer.
 
I've also bought two books (for light reading). The first one is Getting to Maybe by Fischl and Paul, and it is one of the books recommended for law students to use as supplements to their education in law school. This means I am getting ahead of my self a little bit, but I am in between books right now and I feel the need to immerse myself into law study just so I am prepared for when I do go into law school.

The next book on my reading list is Should You Really Be a Lawyer?: The Guide to Smart Career Choices Before, During & After Law School. It's supposedly a fun little read about the realities of law and many people really like how the author explains and unravels the myths of being a lawyer, most likely to dissuade the faint of heart. Seeing how I am dead set on becoming a lawyer, this book should provide me with extra knowledge on the careers I can look forward to as I graduate, as well as prepare me for the grueling years in law school.

My first foray into LSAT is a complete success...in that I have bought all the necessary materials I feel I need to follow my study plan. I am thinking about taking the LSAT in December, which will give me time for a retake next February if I need it. I am of course aiming for just one test, which is the reason I am starting my studying so early. I also do not want to burn myself out, which is also unlikely as I find the material extremely fascinating. I flipped through Kaplan's and Barron's LSAT study books in the library today which gave me a sense of where I needed to be in 9 months, and I took a few LR drills just to warm myself up. The questions asked in those books are much more interesting than the dull ones you find on the GRE, which was a killer to study for.

I'm feeling very confident going into this and I can't wait to get started on the bulk of my studying. Another 2 months until graduation!
