(Quick edit to add a link to my newly unveiled Egypt blog, Summer in Misr!)
I survived finals week, just turned my last paper in, and now it's finally summer break! Until next Monday at least, when I leave for my Egypt summer abroad program and classes begin again.
I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to survive finals week (or if I actually did, since part of me has been DEAD since Monday's LSAT). My brain was too fried to study for finals and I kept reading the same thing over and over without retaining anything. My Econ final was seriously the worst exam I've taken in my life and my final grade in the class definitely reflects that... ouch. Arabic was pretty miserable too but I'm counting on my quizzes/midterms and extra credit performance to save me. Cognitive Development actually went very well, considering how similar the final was to the two midterms we took! I'm still waiting on my final Arabic/Psych grades (and I won't get grades for my two honors theses until the end of fall), but Arabic and Cognitive Development should be an A+/A so I shouldn't have to worry too much.
It's a good thing I'm keeping busy for the next few weeks, since the wait for LSAT scores is keeping me on edge. I can't even count the number of breakdowns I've had this week over the LSAT and finals, even though in the end I know I will end up at a great law school. It'll be nice to get my score back, since even if it's not what I'm hoping for, I can at least cut my losses and create the final list of schools that I'm applying to. For now, all I know is that I'm applying to Stanford (long shot), Penn, Berkeley, Georgetown, UCLA, and George Washington. Likely Duke as well, plus a few more T-14 schools. And hey, UC Davis/Boston University/University of Washington may make the final list as well (since I know I'd be happy at any of them and I need to add a few more safety schools)! But anyway, my list won't be set for about another month and I'll likely apply to any T-20 school that gives me a fee waiver.
Alright, time to embrace summer... Hello long wait for my LSAT score, hello EGYPT! Welcome, bad Toms tan lines and book-a-day reading sprees. Junior year was miserable yet amazing, so I'm eager to see what this summer and senior year have in store for me!
