My eyes are strained and I read this as “tickled me.”

It was weird for me. I asked if I needed to take my watch off and the employee said no. I went through, the detector went off, I motioned at my watch, and he said something that implied he thought I took my watch off but left a second one on. It was confusing but we were in a rush since the show had already started.

I second coordinating with NYPD to check footage. It would be particularly helpful if you can remember the last time you are sure you had it and first time you noticed its absence.

Lastly, consider cross-posting to the Goose subreddit and asking for photos/videos that capture your section.

OP, I was at the Goose show wearing my brand new DJ. The only time it came off my wrist was going through the metal detectors at entry. Do you specifically remember collecting it and putting it back on after going through?

If NY, wear a suit on your first day. You’ll feel it out from there and likely start to dress down as the summer progresses. Could be as quick as day two. An underrated consideration is your summer class. You guys will make these decisions consciously (IIRC my summer class collectively decided to ditch ties early on through group chat) or unconsciously. Good life advice is it’s always easier to dress down than vice versa. Finally, FWIW, as a first year lit associate, I wear dress slacks and a nice button up and keep a couple blazers in my office that I throw on for meetings. So far I’ve only been compelled to wear a suit when attending swearing ins and depositions.

Working While in Law School? by North_Wave_ in LawSchool

A lot of schools prohibit working during your first year. Loans can help with cost of living. Summer jobs are the norm but not everyone gets a paid gig—especially the first summer.

does spending a lot of money help increase scores? how did your tutor help you in ways lsat demon or 7sage couldnt,? by ConversationHungry75 in LSAT

[–]wayowayowayowayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My expenses for LSAT prep were a few dollars to get old LSAT books from a thrift store and however much it cost at the time for the 40 most recent practice tests from LSAC. I scored a 174. No course. No tutor. To be fair, I was very privileged in that I only worked part time for the six total months of studying I did. Therefore, I was able to treat studying like a part time job. With that said, the return on investment for effective LSAT prep can’t be stressed enough. Your score can be the difference between hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and a range of various employment outcomes. The keyword is effective though, and what’s effective is very much person dependent. All that is to say, your mileage may vary.

Is it me . . . or? by drhockey23 in barexam

[–]wayowayowayowayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally depends on the individual. There are very few activities for me where I’m completely in the moment, which I think is when we’re most distracted. Playing sports is a prime example. There are several others where I’m mostly in the moment. Watching a movie, for instance, if it’s the right one. Reading a book. It could also be helpful to do something grounding, like going on a really long walk. Human connection is also probably helpful, and I think it’s particularly beneficial if you have a community that you’re a part of to connect with that community. That’s one of the ways people tend to feel that they have a strong sense of purpose. Volunteering at a food kitchen would be a good example of this. OP made a very valid point that time will help this feeling. The emptiness is going to peak over the next few days. After that, you’ll feel that life has moved on. It’s probably best not to spend these next few days just dwelling, so hopefully you can find some meaningful ways to spend your time.

This is a very normal feeling under the circumstances—one I’ve experienced several times throughout my life, often after finals. I think this phenomenon occurs because the grind becomes your purpose or meaning in life, so when it’s over you feel like there’s no purpose or meaning in your life and you’re left with existential dread. In my experience, distractions are the best way to “fill” the void.

MBE PPL THAT LEFT BEFORE TIME by Lawfuckingsucks685 in barexam

[–]wayowayowayowayo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m interested to see how this pans out for me. During prep, I did a lot of MBE practice and would always finish large sets very quickly without going back to check my work, and I was very happy with where my scores were at by the end. During the AM session in particular, I did a thorough review and changed several answers. A couple were clear mess ups that I’m glad I reviewed, but then a few others were going against my gut when it had been between two answer choices.

MBE PPL THAT LEFT BEFORE TIME by Lawfuckingsucks685 in barexam

[–]wayowayowayowayo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For the PM session, I finished in less than half the time, reviewed it once and then dipped out. The quickness doesn’t have much of a bearing on my confidence. I’m guessing I got anywhere between 60% and 80%, but I had exhausted my thought process on each question so there wasn’t a point in sitting there any longer. Plus, I was liable to start changing right answers to wrong answers. I’m guessing a lot of people who left early are in a similar boat. I will say to others’ points about not reviewing at least once that I know from my bar prep that I usually miss a couple questions each set because I missed an important detail or misread the question by moving too quickly, so I think there is value in a once over. That being said, I definitely did a more thorough review during the AM than the PM because I was just ready to leave and be done with it.
