Yeah, yay for standardized tests that will determine your entire future. Oh wait, we've already been there. It just keeps on going... The re-interpretation of Alma 56 seems particularly apt. We certainly do do things of little inherent value but are required due to societal expectations. So we do what is needed to achieve our end goals.
Side note: I do look forward to not LSAT-ness. Bring on the metaphysics!
Unforeseen challenges always occur just when we least expect them... (Yes, I know that's stating the obvious) At any rate, I am reminded of a quote by Sister Hinckley, who said that there are times when you have to choose to laugh or cry. She added, "I prefer to laugh; crying gives me a headache." I think that's a fairly good response to life's challenges, although I admit I have a hard time following the advice.
I like how you look to the light at the end of the tunnel, in this case basketball. A lot of times that's how i get through tough assignments. I just think, "well, whether this turns out good or not, after the due date/test day/etc it will all be over and life will go on." Of course it's important to stay focused on the here and now, but I think it's definitely also important to take a step back and look at the big picture too.
Look pal, I spent the entire last semester and a half going through what you are now. In retrospect, the LSAT really isn't THAT big. I didn't to the best--but I do have some pretty dang good offers on the table. It's all in the personal statement. Believe me.
Give me a ring to play ball! I didn't see the need to the Suns background (I love the Jazz), but all the same, love the sport. Assuming you survive the LSAT, seriously, we should have a council game of ball!
