crazy that, for a linguistics degree, i had to learn all the muscles and mechanisms involved in the breathing process, latin names for the different parts of the oral cavity plus bone structure, statistics, corpus linguistics, physics and maths
only for it to be called a bachelor of ARTS 😩

Thank you for going where no woman had gone before.

how is a Greek chorus like a lawyer / they're both in the business of searching for a precedent / finding an analogy / locating a prior example / so as to be able to say / this terrible thing we're witnessing now is / not unique you know it happened before / or something much like it / we're not a loss how to think about this / we're not without guidance / there is a pattern / we can find an historically parallel case / and file it away under / ANTIGONE BURIED ALIVE FRIDAY AFTERNOON / COMPARE CASE HISTORIES 7, 17 AND 49

I always wondered why the Western Zodiac and the Chinese Zodiac were both called zodiacs if one was associated w astronomy and the other w time in general. Like what defines a zodiac that the word is only used to describe these two things? Looking up the word “zodiac” in the dictionary didnt help bc it only talked about the western one.
Well, I decided to look up the etymology for zodiac and it turns out it comes from the Greek for “circle of little animals.” I love humans
So, I just took the LSAT and got a 171. I had less than 3 months to study because I had to undergo surgery, so I had to prepare concise notes which I used to review questions I was getting consistently wrong.
I thought I'd share my notes for free in the hopes that it helps others:
I am not done uploading everything- I'm currently working on my application. But I'm uploading on a regular basis. And do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
And good luck with your studies!!
