30-Day LSAT Blog - Day 05 Posted: 14 May 2009 11:04 PM PDT Despite my promises to start work on Games, I was simply distracted. I figured that five days of bending myself out of shape was a bit much, so I swung by the Hooksett location ≈link≈ of Twins Smoke Shop ≈link≈ and kicked back for ninety minutes or so. Back in the day, the world’s largest hecho a mano cigar manufacturer was R. G. Sullivan’s 7-20-4, based right out of Manchester. 7-20-4 was named because 724 Elm Street was the original headquarters before they moved to Canal Street, where the building still stands. In any event, the owner of Twins just re-launched “K. A. Kendall’s 7-20-4,” and I was certainly impressed. I can safely say that it was unlike anything else I’ve ever smoked. I believe the intent of the 7-20-4 was to recapture that “old-time” cigar flavor, which easily explains why I, in this post-boom cigar world, picked it out as something unusual. However, the flavor progression was almost backwards . . . I’ll try another and post information here. After the smoke, I tried to find a quiet spot in Hooksett’s Library, but once again the library made me antsy and I wound up at the Shapiro library at Southern New Hampshire University. It wasn’t a bad joint. It was hard to find, since the main entrance, and all the signage, pointed into the center of campus and not out, but it seems like there were a lot of great work spaces. I was able to check out two (summer-reading) books I needed with my GMILCS card, and maybe I’ll go back to try to swipe a study room from someone who pays tuition.* However, I brushed off my dusty copy of The Official LSAT SuperPrep and went through the first arguments section. I figured that the explanations would be of use . . . but the section seemed rather simple, as I scored 23/25. The only two errors were “Duh” moments. This makes me wonder about the tests themselves, as I can apparently bounce between 50, 77, and 92% on Arguments depending on “good” and “bad” days. Seriously?  Despite my Day 05 promises, I didn’t get the chance to practice any games. I did, however, spend a lot of time wondering where I packed my games workbook. The car still isn’t empty from moving back home, there’s no place to put it! I took an early night, helped in part by a stiff Cuba Libre, brought to you by Sailor Jerry’s. Just doing my part to fight the world’s overabundance of lime and cola.
