Week 12

Yesterday Senator John McCain stopped by Villanova University on Chris Matthew’s Hardball tour, and I deeply regret not being able to go. I managed to catch the last few minutes of it after rushing home from work, but I missed the Senator’s flustered response when a student invited McCain to join him in a shot. Hopefully when I campaign for the GOP nominee’s run for the Presidency during the summer, I’ll be presented with more opportunities to attend his public appearances.

Last week we went to the Nationals game against the Marlins, and although the Nats lost, it was still a lot of fun. The new Nationals Park is pretty awesome and is complete with Five Guys, Ben’s Chili Bowl, and a great view of the Washington Monument and Capitol Hill. I probably spent too much money and consumed too many calories from the beer, burgers, and peanuts, but hey, you only live once.

I am finally done with my portfolio and my 15-pager for Villanova’s Internship Requirements, and after my final later today, I’ll be work-free till the last week here. Despite the fact that I rarely looked at my LSAT review books, I took a mock LSAT at the Kaplan Center on Saturday morning. I scored a 161, and although I’m fairly confident that by the October LSAT I’ll be able to score at least a 165, I’m skeptical that I’ll be able to jump the ten points needed to break 170. As for now though, I just want to enjoy my last few weeks in D.C. before studying for the LSATs consumes my life during the summer.
