Yesterday morning I discovered the secret to studying for the LSAT. Here are some easy steps:
1) Actually get up and go to Barnes and Noble (probably the most difficult step of all! Once you are past this there’s no stopping you!)
2) Find a test prep book that suits you among the 8 million options
3) Flash the evil eye at anyone who is already sitting in “your spot” (aka the comfortable chair next to the cooking section where no one goes…except the jerk who got there early just to take your seat)
4) Pretend like all the oxygen has been sucked out of the room and the only way to remain breathing (aka survive) is to read the book as an alternative source for air.
5) Have a copy of Gary Larson comic strip book next to you. When you feel as though your brain is about to explode, or you want to run screaming through the store throwing the study book at innocent strangers, crack open the comic book and laugh until you cry.
6) Repeat
This really does work. I actually had FUN studying for the LSAT this way. I’m sure this can apply to other areas of torture in your life as well if you aren’t studying for Satan’s Exam. Not sure why I have to study to be a liar anyway….
I just look forward to any chance I get to sit in peace and quiet normally. Having said that, I am pretty good at switching off from everything around me too.
Are you not tempted by the coffee and cookies ?
