IT'S OVER (for now) and burgers!


So I took my LSAT's today. I think I did well on 3/4 of if, but utterly and fantastically bombed the last 1/4. Damn logic games. If it weren't for that last section, which can be quite significant in terms of scoring, I would have felt much much more positive coming out of the testing.

I want to take a moment to thank the profuse amount of support from friends:

Shawn: "Hey man, good luck tomorrow."
Dave: "YOU DA MAN"
Jess Lin: "You will rock."
Alice: "Let me know when would be a good time for me to buy you a post-lsat drink."
Jane: "I just wanted to say good luck on your lsats! ... [6 hours later] ...I'm drunk so here's another good luck text."
Sam: "Hey Rog, you'll do great tomorrow!"
Mina: "I'm sure you'll be a TestMaster's instructor next year, you'll do great."

And thanks to Sujit and of course Jenn for keeping me sane all those hours at Bobst.

ON TO OTHER THINGS:

Jenn and I made the tastiest, freshest, most flavorable burger EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND today. It's the kind of burger SO GOOD that you refuse to, nay, are not allowed to use condiments associated with such banal mediocrity. Ketchup and mustard? Leave it to the peasants.


The secret's in the meat: instead of regular ground beef, our concoction was made with lean ground turkey meat and a hodge podge of delectables. To the mash of meat, we added lots and lots and lots of ground garlic, parsley, sea salt, freshly ground pepper-corn, and, for the coup de grace, chopped-up
sun-dried tomatoes soaked in extra-virgin olive-oil.


(Cupcake? No, just some raw meat with deliciousness added into it.)

On the way to Whole Foods for the ingredients, it started to rain. It started off as a slight patter -- it felt like A/C coolant being sprayed onto you while walking past pre-war apartment buildings. But then, the small driblets turned into large droplets, and the patter and the wind tore and fought with our fraught umbrella. Up until then, I always chided Jenn for her purchase of that magnanimous black umbrella. I've never seen one so big; opened, it stretches wider than my arm-span and reaches higher than my belly-button. But fighting in that wind, I came to see the usefulness and practicality of what I thought to be a futile purchase. You simply don't see the sense of some things until the moment arrives. Damn LSAT.

Roger-

I'm glad LSATs are over and done with for now, and consistent with everyone else's opinions, I'm sure you KILLED it, dude.

I like to read your blog sometimes in the morning before I go to work. Not only is it extremely interesting, but it's good to think that somewhere out there, friends of mine are having fun instead of working all the time. It keeps me grounded I think.

Don't get lazy and stop posting, or I'll go insane and likely take the window exit instead of the door one of these days! Just kidding, but seriously, heh.
