HD a Third Culture Kid

I discuss the changes I made from the first to the second semester of my 1L year. I did better academically in the second semester whew. I also take some liberty with slight digressions in this episode.

I have finally emerged from the darkness of my 1L year to record a podcast episode! It's been a long time. In this episode, I recap the remainder of the first semester of my 1L year and share my experience living in New York. I'll recap the second semester of my 1L year in the next episode. Stay tuned!

I'm at the halfway point of my first semester of my 1L year! I take a quick break from my studies to share my experience with student orgs, my first midterm, the mental game that is law school, and other live rambling thoughts about law school.

I recap my first two weeks of law school, discussing happy hours, benefits of being older, and my first concluded law school class.

I share my hectic month in preparing for my move to New York and my orientation at law school. I talk about spending thousands of dollars on moving, rats in New York, and to inspirations from law school orientation!

Roe v Wade was overturned and Twitter blew up with mutually exclusive pro-choice and pro-life reactions. My reaction didn't neatly fall into either camp. I'm also taking a Python machine learning course on Udemy and have completed the Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, and K Nearest Neighbors modules. I'm amazed at how accessible it is for us to gain this ability to become modern day prophets. My life has also included more in-person meetings and apartment hunting in New York. ------------------------------------------------ Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.

Overtime gets a bad rap - I worked overtime this past week but I was both tired and invigorated by it. But I do worry that too much of it would get me to neglect other parts of my identity. I also share the basic logic I use in my automated trading program that has made me a measly $15 realized gains so far and recap the NBA Finals that concluded this past Wednesday. ------------------------------------------------ Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.

And, lastly, I share my thoughts on Python libraries I experimented with, including seaborn for data visualization and the Robinhood API to automate your trading. ----------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.

So here is my 8 year LSAT journey of 7 takes, taking me from a 140 diagnostic to a 173. This is not a journey I would recommend at all given the time it took me to get to the destination - its cost in time might be too high for many, if not most, people. Instead of a recommendation, I hope this story serves more as a companion to those who are facing challenges with the LSAT, have developed strong self-doubt because of a damn test, have had friends tell you that maybe it's time to quit, or find it hard to persist with optimism. If you're heavily struggling, you are not alone - it can be and was done. So here's my journey... Actually, before I get started, I wanted to share some quick tips you can experiment with to help with LSAT performance: The LSAT is the Law School Admission Test. LSAC.org is the the best source for current and accurate information about the LSAT. --------------- Don't forget to subscribe and/or follow me on Instagram for more random thoughts, conversations, and experiences from a third culture kid that's finding his way around the world.
