It’s really late, and I’m typing this in between packing to keep awake to catch my early morning flight. I’m leaving Shanghai today for Princeton, bringing to conclusion a summer filled with experiences that I can scarcely believe I’ve had — memories I know will inform the decisions I make from here on out. My last few days in Shanghai have shifted my focus away from the LSATs and onto my impending return to Princeton. Album here.
On the LSAT end, I got a 168 on my last practice test, representing more than a 10-point jump from my initial diagnostic. This is a good sign, but I know there isn’t much predictive validity in a single practice test — much preparation lies ahead to make that score consistent and to see that it rises to its fullest potential by the February test date. I’m doing my best to set a schedule for consistent weekly practice, and not to worry about it too much.
Aside from test prep, my last few days have been exhausting but great. The design agency I run back at school is swinging back into full force, tons of jobs are coming in, and I’m having to coordinate a million things at once via email. Despite this, I’m finding ways out of stress by spending time with some of my friends here in Shanghai, enjoying the last few bits of my summer vacation.
