To be determined...

The homework from class has been going better, although I'm still a few lessons behind schedule. I'm understanding why the answers are one and not the other, and of course, that's the point. Overall, I'd say the class has been very beneficial.

I still plan on keeping about 95% of my focus on the LSAT at this point, but I have also been thinking more and more about my personal statement. I've gotten all of my transcripts sent to the LSAC, and after looking over my grades, it's clear that no matter how well I do on the LSAT, I will still fall into the category of "maybe" at most of the schools I want to attend. So, the only way I will have a chance at getting in to them is by doing really well on the LSAT and writing a very strong, convincing personal statement. It would be nice to have strong letters of recommendation, but I'm not going to rely too heavily on them right now.

A lot of this is obvious, but it's important to remind myself of what my priorities need to be. I have a little over a month before the test and over two months before I have to have my applications in. That means the whole month of October can be dedicated to writing and revising my personal statement. If I just keep it in the back of my mind for now and work on it as a study break between lessons, I should be in good shape. I'm going to amend one of my goals: Finish a first draft of my personal statement by the end of September.
