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.

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.

I ramble about my preparation to attend law school like looking for off-campus housing, about Game 4 of the NBA Finals where Curry erupted for 43 points, and Netflix shows I've been watching like Change days where 4 Korean couples get to date the other couple's counterparts.

In this episode, I share about three things I learned over the past week. I researched the gun control bill H.R. 8 and share why it would not have been effective in the four shootings I read about in the media. I talk about exposure therapy, a cognitive behavioral therapy strategy to manage phobias I read about from this online free book. 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.

Hello friends! I share my experience of travelling to Korea for a month on this episode. This is a solo episode - a little more intimate I suppose. Tune in to listen to me talking about my trouble with the airline I flew with, heated floors in all Korean apartments, unhelpful cultural practices during the pandemic, and my time with family and friends.

David and I disagree AT LENGTH about whether we can accurately call Elon Musk one of the inventors of Tesla. We go back and forth in a heated exchange as we scour the library of information that is the internet. This episode is part 1 of our debate on who is the Greatest Inventor Of the Modern Era (70s to present day) - GOME. I think it's Elon Musk and David disagrees.

David and I talk about his creative entrepreneurial pursuits, about one of my first dreams (becoming an author), productivity tips, therapy vs self-therapy, FOMO and inefficiencies when reading books, and predatory advertising. David and I both work in big tech and we have a lot of side things we pursue and take interest in. Here's David's Instagram profile.

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:
Remove your watch/clock from view while taking the test. This may help you focus on the task at hand more and was a game-changer for me. Try earplugs (I hear these are allowed now). Not only will this block out noise but it may also help you focus on your breath, which in turn can help you focus on the test. I wasn't able to use earplugs on my tests but, when I practiced with them, I felt like I could focus significantly better.The LSAT is the Law School Admission Test. LSAC.org is the the best source for current and accurate information about the LSAT.

John and I disagree at length about the repressive expression in the Korean media and its repercussions to the Korean people. We also appreciate how precious education is in this day and age.

There are so many naysayers against the 9 to 5 "desk" job so I wanted to counter with some positive things about the job. I currently work at a 9 to 5 job myself and I strongly like it 👍.

I learned something cool during a Headspace session, read about another judgment fallacy we commonly make, and am baffled at how bad the Lakers are (Russell Westbrook is not a good fit). In this episode, I go at it alone as I recap my thoughts in the past few weeks.

I don't drink coffee and I have functioned quite well without it for decades - academically and professionally. David is an avid coffee drinker ("knows how to brew coffee" level). In this first installment of "Convince Me" series, David and I weigh the pros and cons of coffee as we attempt to sway one of us to either drink or quit coffee. We also catch each other up in the first some minutes of the podcast.
